ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC" part 3


Another theory could be that Klopp’s messed up the cycles. I’m convinced last season was a cycling off season for them, they were absolutely terrible whalloped by Wolves 3-0, Brighton 3-0, Brentford put 3 past them, Leeds beat them at home! (A result every single record book seems to have forgotten about). Napoli battered them, Arsenal battered them, City battered them, they had 2 points from first three games, got knocked out the cup by Brighton, and also lost to Nottingham Forest and Bournemouth, as well as multiple draws to bottom half teams. Of course a Real Madrid team who would later be dismantled 4-0 by City came from 2 down to beat them 5-2 on their own patch.

Whatever excuse you want to make, there’s no way a team good enough to be targeting 90 plus points and two quadruples in 3 seasons, with so called world class players in every position and a manager as good as Klopp should ever be performing that badly when they had no real injuries that season to blame it on, they just instead scapegoated their ‘ageing’ midfield, none of whom were over 32.

Then as bad as they’d been that season, when top 4 was suddenly in doubt, they did exactly what they did in the 20/21 season, they turned the juice back on and went on an unbelievable winning run at the end of the season winning 7 in a row and being unbeaten in their last 11 games. Flashbacks to two seasons earlier with Nat Phillips and Rhys Williams suddenly turning into Baresi and Maldini when 4th was on the line and then disappearing into oblivion again.

The effectiveness of PEDs undoubtedly wears off the more you use them and so perhaps Klopp has left himself short on the old 12 month cycle now. They are now suddenly not near the intensity they were when their academy kids were mauling Chelsea and City’s first teams away from home for fun. I’d absolutely die laughing if it all suddenly fell apart now and they lost and drew a few in the league.

Whoever picks up this team has a death wish. This squad except for one or two is absolutely crap and they showed their true nature last season. Allison is world class (although awful with his feet) and Salah was very good (although is now slowing down). The rest without the drugs are complete donkeys as seen in two of Klopp’s mysterious off seasons recently. I wouldn’t want to be the new manager walking in seeing Jones, Elliot Gomez Tsimikas Gravenberch Nunez Endo etc. all off the juice next season. They’ll be in for a rude awakening.
