Jurgen Klopp may be forgiven for a sense of deja vu when he woke up on Sunday morning.
As he surveyed the fallout from Saturday's frustrating 2-2 draw with Fulham, the Reds boss may just feel as though he has been here before with regards to his particular set of circumstances. As recently as the start of 2021, in fact.
Back then, Klopp was besieged by injuries in his centre-back department and will have heard the clamour for Liverpool to rectify it in the transfer market. With Virgil van Dijk, Joel Matip and Joe Gomez all out for the season, the demands for fresh blood were as loud as they have ever been during his time at Anfield at the turn of last year.
