There will be Twitterati out there bringing up Klopp's last season with Dortmund, 14/15 - and the fact that they were in the relegation zone.
What annoys me about that is that few will focus on the incredible turn-around that occurred in the second half of that season. They went from being a relegation zone side that year to nicking a Europa League spot at the Death.
People worry about us dropping out of the Top Four this year due to how competitive it is around us, coupled with our current malaise - and that's fine. But if we avoid defeat against Burnley, we will have lost two League games from our opening nineteen.
Klopp's 14/15 Dortmund had lost ELEVEN League matches by the 19-game mark.
If some of the footballing miracles of recent years of watching Liverpool aren't a source of comfort/inspiration for you right now, just look at turning around a season like that and what an accomplishment it was.
Win tomorrow and we have to fret about a 4-point deficit, whilst still having opportunities to play the rivals around us, thus putting (most of) our destiny into our own hands.
