The Winds of Change

[Steveo]

Last season - the expectation across the board was that we would slide. Zero pressure. No signings also added to this. A free hit with another man’s team - a very special man's team...at Liverpool FC…? Won’t ever happen again. Not after a rebuild by a genius like Klopp. Teams came to play us without that fear of the connection between Klopp the fans and the players.


Whereas Klopp’s announcement handicapped his last season almost as much as the pile up of injuries did. The constant talk across the media of his impending departure a huge distraction for the players. He also had to integrate 4 new senior Midfielders due to a lack of backing years prior.

But the back end of last season was there for all to see. Before the tragic loss of Jota - and we looked like the transformation to come was more than on the horizon




"Values and behaviours" ....pretty big words for Stevie and they are almost the right ones ...but you get what he is alluding to...which is that before the wane....at the back end of last season.. much of what had driven the title win was 100% of Klopp's Squad....and - being kind to Arne - about 70% of Klopp's coaching, conditioning and mentality education.


What is astounding is the time it has taken for it to finally start to dawn - on the "experts".
