My first visit to ‘Kloppstadt’. At the end of a long-distance cycling trip along the Main.

Just read today that Klopp’s magic was over with Dortmund in his 7th season and he was sacked.
This is his 7th season with us … 
Part true, he struggled in the first half of the season with a number of injuries, but once they got players back after the winter break, he guided them from 18th back into a C/L spot.
He chose not to extend his contract, not sacked

some people also said Klopp was jinxed when it came to winning in cup finals!
how did that turn out?

Yeah, but he can’t come close to beating RM. Is this a valid unjinxing?
Well he has won enough cup finals to be unjinxed
He’s lost one game so far and if I’m honest could easily have won four. What I remember from that Dortmund side is they were completely spent. I think the 2020/21 season will come in handy here.
We only need a slight uptick to get top four, apparently Man Utd are now going challenge for the title 3 weeks ago Brentford we’re beating them 4-0.
We’ve played two of our toughest away games and the performances though not amazing have shown some ability.
I can be at times very pessimistic but there is some utter garbage being written on here sorry. I might talk crap over a number of topics but we are not “that” bad seriously. Take 10 players out of any team in that league and they are not winning.
If we are still poor when injuries don’t dictate our starting line up then I’ll revisit.

I love him as much as the next fan, but the buck stops with the boss.
I don’t know what he’s doing, but it needs sorting as soon as possible.

I’m not that confident in this anymore sadly.

Understand that but a key component of our strategy is failing. Midfielders are getting frequently injured and in bunches, and when they are available they’re not nearly as sprightly as we need them to be. Our pressing is now so disjointed. It’s not new to anyone how we play except Arthur but he’s not even starting. The mids just physically can’t do it. At this rate Fab is sure to get a knock because he’s been run ragged.

Honestly everything I wrote here is wrong I regret writing it.
It’s shambolic and we look lost.
I disagree with your latest assessment. I think your initial assessment was still correct. I think the disruptions from not being able to know who you can use, and how you can rotate the team is making planning and implementation a lot harder.
We seem to be crumbling physically faster than I suspect anyone would have thought. When you are that fatigued both mentally and physically, it can be really hard to adapt to new instructions.
Seventh year itch?
2008 - decides not to extend his contract because he could not get Mainz promoted to the Bundesliga
2015 - after a very bad first half of the season he announces that he will leave them when the season ends
2022?
2022 - extended his contract for another 2 seasons, taking him to 2026

Klopp needs backing in transfer window, chelsea spend more paying off failed managers.
my goodness look at you lot. let’s have a look at the lineups since the Man City game
Community Shield - LFC 3-1 City
friendly - Strasbourg 3-0 LFC
EPL - Fulham 2-2 LFC
EPL - United 2-1 LFC
EPL - LFC 9-0 Bournemouth
EPL - LFC 2-1 Sandcastle
EPL - Everton 0-0 LFC
CL - Napoli 4-1 LFC
that’s pretty telling.
The solution is obvious: bring back Adrian.

Adrian is still in the First Team. Did I miss something?
