Jurgen Klopp has rejected suggestions that his Liverpool struggles mirror those he experienced after seven years with both Mainz and Borussia Dortmund.
Klopp marked his seven-year anniversary as Reds manager on Saturday and while his success at Anfield has helped make him the longest-serving manager in the Premier League, a disappointing opening few weeks to the campaign sees his side heading to Arsenal on Sunday afternoon 13 points behind league leaders Manchester City, albeit with two games in hand.
Klopp left both Mainz and Dortmund after seven years but the Liverpool boss has dismissed any comparisons with the respective situations he experienced during his time as a coach in his homeland.
