Jurgen Klopp has found things tough at Liverpool this season - and it’s not the first time the manager has been in trouble.
Fans have latched onto what they feel is a pattern around the German’s seventh season at a club. They have pointed to the relegation he suffered with Mainz, but also the horrific start in what ended up being his final season as Borussia Dortmund manager.
The 2014-15 campaign was a tough one for the German club, though the summer departure of Robert Lewandowski meant they knew it wouldn’t be entirely straightforward. Within a few months, though, the extent of the drop-off had gone beyond even the worst expectations of those around Signal Iduna Park.
