Questioning a manager's tactics and results is nothing new. That is the standard the world over. I don't think there's anything wrong with that, nor is it such a big deal.
I think there's this idiom that Klopp is an omnipotent being when he came over in that business jet, touching down in Liverpool with crowds kissing the ground beneath his feet. And when the realisation of the fact that he's not perfect dawns on them, there will always be that shock of realising that Klopp the man is ultimately human. If one chooses to get off the bandwagon at this point, they are welcome to do so, much like Hammam has already (God bless his soul).
But it is different this time. Klopp, in all his press conference diatribes, has always taken responsibility of the results. He knows where he stands, and he knows results matter. None of this bullshit of inane and pretentious statements that some of our previous managers are known for. Therefore, you see less of the sharp edged commentary from the press you would have seen from years past referencing the work of our other managers. The tone is more restrained, even though this rough patch has been one of the most dire we've had in recent memory of this club.
The honeymoon is definitely over. But you feel like even the press is giving him more time to change things around. His second full season with Dortmund he finished 6th. I'm hoping that next season he emulates the feat he achieved in Dortmund on his 3rd season.
It's not that far fetched really.
