Liverpool’s loss to Watford only highlighted that Klopp is working on a sabotaged unbalanced project, one which he inherited. He didn’t spend a dime to assembly this LFC team , not a preseason of 6 to 8 games to know the intricacies of his team, neither did he send players on loan, players needed to balance the team he inherited. Balotelli – $16 million, Wisdom –$ 5mill EST, Alberto –$ 7, Markovic $ 15, that’s 43 million in total, looking at it another way
• Striker
• Midfielder
• Winger
• Defender
Players we could use in every position at present .The fact that Klopp has won with such an unbalanced team is testament of his greatness. Liverpool finished at the top of its Europa league and has advanced to all stages of its knockout cups, a feat which saw Rodgers do the reverse this time last season. Given all what has just been stated, it’s alarming that some can state they see no difference at LFC, though I will admit some has slipped the word vigor in admitting they have noticed a difference. The slip seems like an error in some quarters when they rail, it’s not logical to give Klopp credit for winning with Rodgers team but bash him for losing with said team.
If some can admit they see a difference in vigor under Klopp, then one can logically conclude that this vigor was attained without Rodgers input. This vigor led to positive results in spite of whatever monkey wrench Rodgers left in its engine. It can only be classified as such because the opposite of vigor is apathy and we can all agree, that’s why he was sacked.
The loss to Watford only highlighted that Klopp is trying to find the monkey wrench(s) to remove and build his own engine. Some of the same parts maybe used, some maybe discarded, new ones bought, but at this juncture there is no doubt, Klopp is adjusting to his players , adjusting to a new league and the players are adjusting to him. Obviously you will have hiccups and for anyone to not give him credit while acknowledging the new vigor and put him on par with Rodgers who spent 300 million over 3 seasons, had a 6 game preseason, got knocked out every European cup at the same points every season is being ignorant, harsh and disingenuous .
Klopp’s 6 games in was his preseason, it ended with a 2-0 loss to Newcastle. His season in my view is just 3 games in .Still he is getting to know that his
• Goalkeepers- have butter fingers.
• Defense- lacks depth and is weak, we could do with Wisdom on loan at Norwich, and Toure contract will be cancelled in the summer.
• Midfield- Lacks depth- Lucas is ageing, Can is young, Allen is weak, Millner is erratic,Llana isn’t scoring but creates ,Coutinho shows up for big games , but tries too hard against smaller teams and loses the plot.Firmino reminds me of Saurez 1st season , can’t really judge him. Henderson is only 2 games back. That said it too is erratic at times.
• Forwards- 30 – 40 million depending on the article you read for an expensive plan B, and that’s a monkey wrench that baffles everyone. A player in the mold of Carroll, who Rodgers said didn’t fit his style, one which he chased away , he ends up buying same type of player 3 season later ? Strikers injured and out of form
That’s the extent of the sabotage – monkey wrench BR left, Klopp to work with, the team is unbalanced.Markovic and Alberto are needed on the wing and midfield to feed Bentke or whoever the ball and cover for the injured, Wisdom is needed in defense for whoever gets injured, Balotelli is needed as another striking option, given the erratic nature of the crop we have and the injuries we have at every position.
Who assembled the team in this way before Klopp inherited this mess, if we can be honest with ourselves when we answer, and I am not looking at the stressful design of playing players out of their natural position and the mental task of rectifying it by reverting them to their natural positions to get the impact of that needed instant vigor. A vigor that supporters can feel, that they believe it’s worth the task to stay for the full 90 plus with an expectation of victory.
That said what happened at Watford was a disaster and it was expected, given the above task, I didn’t see hopelessness , like some , I saw players fighting for their supporters ambition, as Klopp said though a moment or design of madness.

Where does your horshyte end??? Does this quote from Klopp sound like that was an expected outcome? "After Southampton and Manchester City everyone thought 'wow'."
You were on the City wagon, see anybody else you did know?
