Klopp proved this season that he has no plan B, after losing VVD and Gomez he still tried to play the same way and hasn't really changed anything tactically. Pretty much the entire first team have fallen off a cliff form wise, there's no leadership without VVD and Henderson, the forwards have forgotten how to put the ball in the net with the exception of Salah.. can't put all that down to injuries.Morbius wrote: ↑Sun May 02, 2021 1:57 pmKlopp first manager to go next season
That's a misread. After ending 30 years of hurt and a 6th European Cup... Like Wenger and Fergie he will dictate his own exit. Expect an improved season anyway with VVD back and a couple of new signings. They won't be so bad that they will be forced to sack him like Leicester did with Ranieri. If they have another bad year then that would be c6th and no trophies. Then and only then he may go at the end of next season but not before.
Klopp himself is at a loss to explain what's gone wrong and that's not a good sign, If they start badly next season I wouldn't be shocked if he fell on his sword and even if he wasn't the first manager out the door it could make for a good trade. Remember also that fans should be back, and they won't be happy watching the same kind of performances they've seen for most of this season. I don't think they'd be singing "You don't know what you're doing" like they did with Hodgson but they won't be happy.
Past glories should only get you so far if you want to be genuine challengers year in and year out. One thing that bugs me about some Liverpool fans is that because we had to wait 30 years to win a league title its somehow worth more, its not Its one title. Was great to finally put that to bed but going forward personally I'd rather have the Champions League which is why this season is even harder to take.
