For the past twenty seven years Liverpool fans have been persevering and sometimes agitating for a manger who would win the Premier League title. Two years ago, Fenway Sports Group, owners of the club, recruited one of the best football managers in the world in the person of Jurgen Klopp.
A dawn of new era it was to many Liverpool fans. Klopp is known for his successful spells at Main 05 and Borussia Dortmund where he won and defended the Bundesliga with the latter. This aroused the Kopites.
If Klopp's words on the first day of his interview are something to go by then, he wanted to change the attitude of Liverpool supporters. Changing them from "doubters to believers". In fact, he actually thrived in winning the hearts of Liverpool fans.
Liverpool indeed are a joy to watch when they are on top from under Jurgen Klopp. Last season, the Kop really believed when they were second on the Premiere league table getting to December. Then in January things went from bad to worst with Liverpool losing and drawing here and there in that month.
This season was one of which Liverpool had much expectations due to how they finished last season in style. But it has turn to be one of those seasons again with Liverpool losing 5-0 against Manchester City and just last week Klopp's side suffered their second heaviest defeat of the campaign against Tottenham Hotspurs. A Harry Kane double and a goal each from Son and Dele Ali was all Spurs need to thrash Liverpool.
Then comes the question, "is Klopp the right man for the job"?
Some Liverpool supporters have started calling for his sack while others believe he should be given time. Whether he be sacked or given some time, time will in itself tell.
Considering the potential move of Klopp's star man Philippe Coutinho to Barcelona, Liverpool are really in for another battle. Should he leave whether in January or the summer, Liverpool needs to replace him. Would it mean Klopp would be building his side again?
If so, Kopites are patient people, most of them would like to wait but till when? Liverpool fans desperately want and need the premier league trophy. Unfortunately, this season won't bring them that they have to wait for another season.
For how long would they have to wait?
