Another season, another mediocre Liverpool start. Life post-Suarez has yielded little. The man scripted to fill his void is in treatment more than on turf. Brendan Rodgers (may his character rest in peace) has wasted millions on failing, baby-faced prodigies from far-flung leagues. Yet again, us Never-Walk-Alone-ers have to bear the likes of Joe Allen and Lucas Leiva, patrolling a midfield once occupied by Gerrard and Alonso. My tears Alexander Mogilny Kids Jersey could fill the Mersey twice over.Rodgers, the epitome of a managerial enigma, has gone. It was only a matter of time. Eccentric German Jrgen Klopp has been roped in as his replacement, hailed by many as the bespectacled saviour to another campaign Christopher Tanev Kids Jersey of woe. So whats so special about the Normal One?Lets look at previous form. He took the reins at Dortmund in 2008, inheriting a mid-table team full of relative underachievers. Sound familiar? He won them the German Cup that season, but it would take a further two before a league title found its way north of the Rhine. One title became two the following year, but after that the dominance of Bayern Munich began to take its toll. A couplet of second places should by no means be frowned upon, however I find Dortmunds last campaign worrying. Bottom of the league at Christmas.Following the announcement of Klopps imminent departure, they eventually recovered to a relatively comfortable seventh, still a fair stretch from the glory days that preceded. As one seemingly does Patrick Wiercioch Jersey at the end of a lengthy managerial stretch, he took a mini-sabbatical to gather his thoughts and, presumably, invest in more pairs of hipster spectacles. I think thats a bit unfair; Id like to see the look on my tutors face if I announced I was taking a few months out to a se s my education options. Imagine mechanics, bricklayers and so on all jetting off to the south of France for a while to recharge. I digre s.I could talk about the curious case of Brendan Rodgers for hours, but for the sanity of all concerned I shall be brief. You cannot come to one of the biggest football clubs in the world, spend millions on squad improvements, and hail your best achievement to be nearly winning a league title. He wouldnt have even managed that without Uruguays answer to Lionel Me si. A meagre 3 wins in his first 10 games this season had to nudge him towards the exit; mercifully it did. Immediately Klopp was the word on everyones lips.Having also been linked with the more proven, if a little elderly, Carlo Ancelotti, I felt a Tyler Graovac Women Jersey slight tinge of disappointment when Klopp was presented to the pre s. Whether because of Klopps decline, whether because of Ancelottis track record, I just felt the latter wouldve been a safer option. Can we afford to take another risk? Five points from his first four games (including the taking-apart of a dismal Chelsea side) is by no means poor, but its hardly world-beating. If he is to be the saviour then it will definitely take time, as at Dortmund Trevor Linden Kids Jersey , so unfortunately Merseysides red contingent must be patient and optimistic once more. A squad overhaul is e sential he can start by packing the Welsh Xavi back off to the valleys.
