They are the gift that keeps giving. Klopp has clearly ragged them in the first half of the season, and with no winter break to cover his glaring weakness as a manager they are now running on empty. This was predicted by the more astute followers who were mocked and ignored rather than appreciated.
The knives are sharpening now, make no mistake. The leaders of the cult are being pressed into action to defend their man in increasingly vicious and illogical ways which means they too are feeling the pressure. Over the next few days prepare to hear the following a lot;
1) Refs have cost us (ignoring the fact they've had more penalties than anyone else)
2) The schedule is stupid (a fair point, but the same for everyone else, who choose not to front load their fitness and brashly brag about it without considering the negative impact)
3) The fans are to blame for a bad atmosphere.
