I haven't seen anyone say that they want him gone but I've seen and heard a growing number of people start to really doubt his ability as a manager. People seem to have this sheep mentality when it comes to the media and ex pro's. Who gives a shit what Alan Shearer thinks, honestly? If Sky presents a stat on a Saturday afternoon stating how many goals we've conceded from set pieces last season then everyone jumps on the bandwagon 'oh yeah, we're shite at defending corners and freekicks, its just typical shite Liverpool' or 'Klopp's never been able to set up a defence' bla bla bla. Its all agenda driven rubbish. We conceded just 3 more goals than Man City last season. Nobody mentions in the media our brilliant defensive record in terms of stopping teams from creating chances from open play, why? Because it doesn't suit the agenda.
So whilst I haven't seen anyone call for his head, this is how it starts. People believing the agenda that's put in front of them and not seeing the bigger picture. We're moving forwards and growing as a club. People wanting Klopp to instantly eradicate a problem that has been there since Agger was here with practically the same group of players are simply impatient.
So in the one hand we're expected to believe stats for players and the club use stats to scout future players and use it for telling us why we ain't signing anybody this window because nobody in the world is good enough in the stats that we want, yet when a graphic Is put on sky sports about how piss poor we are at defending set pieces (which to be honest none of us need a graphic to tell us that) then we should ignore it.
Stats will be used to rightly or wrongly judge our transfer window. Stats will rightly or wrongly cost Klopp his job if we take a huge downward tumble.
Klopp has had his honeymoon. This season the guy rightly or wrongly be judged on his performance over the course of the season. Not after 20 games but by the end of the season we'd all expect to see us improving. If that hasn't happened we need to look at why - and most would point to last January and this summer as the main reason why.
Then you have the question rightly or wrongly - whose to blame? If Klopp tells us he's happy with his squad and we don't need anyone else then unfortunately he is allowing people to take him down. If he gives us or if it leaks from somewhere it's somebody else's fault then we'll deal with that at the time.
This was a crucial summer, we were told we had a huge budget. That we were going to be a force to be reckoned with. Are signings were pretty much complete start of June, etc etc...
Here we are facing another transfer window having a profit...
... I ask is that good enough for a club who are top 10 in terms of income. With the massive upturn in TV revenue as well.
The progress should have been clear to see on Saturday. Instead we saw exactly the same problems we had last season in defence. We saw the lack of quality defending set pieces, we lacked a leader to organise us.
Rightly or wrongly people are showing there frustrations. Not at Klopp but at how poorly run this club appears to be from the outside. Frankly it hasn't been good enough. We haven't filled the holes in the squad we needed to. We're playing players out of position, playing 2 youngsters at RB, albeit one looks like he could be a world beater, a left back who we didn't expect to see again, and 3 midfielders not suited to playing with each others styles. I want to see Gini, Hendo and Can play this season. I don't want to watch a midfield 3 of them again. We'll have tons of games this season, lots of injuries, time and a place for each. But together it offers us nothing.
We haven't signed the dynamic box to box midfielders, we're now 2 attacking midfielders short with injuries and possibly losing Coutinho, we have 2 first team wingers with no real first team back up.
