Aside from the “owner are greedy and need to go” argument, I can’t understand why the players on the field were not running. I didn’t see the stats but I’d bet that is one of the worst matches for km run that we ever had under Klopp, I don’t buy the “ran the players into the ground” argument. As soon as the kids came on the match turned and we looked threatening all of a sudden only to conceded the third but had they played like that from the beginning we might not have been down 2-0.
This team is not happy and playing for each other, we look like ManUre last year. I have a bad feeling for Klopp as the last time we slumped the signs were there for a turnaround, this time it seems worse. I cannot believe how a team that was so great could turn so bad so quickly. Something sinister is happening behind the scenes because what is happening doesn’t seem natural. People leaving all of a sudden, the team hitting a brick wall in terms of performance, Klopp losing his cool in press conference on the issue of transfers and more importantly the apparent lack of effort the players are showing, the intensity is all wrong. I’m worried that the position with Klopp will become untenable and he won’t finish the contract. I feel bad for Gakpo and if I was Bellingham I’d think twice as without serious investment this is not a team on the up and if we don’t make CL, it will take years to get back. That said, I think we can beat Newcastle to CL if we can just get our mojo back, will that happen though?
