Jurgen Klopp finds himself in a similar position at Liverpool to his time at Borussia Dortmund, with Darwin Nunez's signing mirroring his attempts to find a replacement for Robert Lewandowski.
That's the view of German football commentator Dr Constantin Eckner, who believes that the Anfield boss has reverted to a previously practised method when he sought out a successor for Sadio Mane in the summer.
The German has won six major honours in his seven-year stint at Anfield but is facing his most difficult season yet as an injury-hit campaign has resulted in an alarming drop-off in performance levels that has left the Reds tenth in the Premier League table. Sport1 and DAZN broadcaster Dr. Eckner admitted that Liverpool's slump was unexpected in Germany but drew parallels with his time as a coach back in his homeland, particularly when Klopp was managing Dortmund.
