Klopp has an ugly sense of entitlement that has left Liverpool in an unfamiliar state of flux – and opposition teams are exploiting this new reality
It can’t be easy watching a week’s work unravel in the first 12 minutes. Answering for the failures of a team in the immediacy of defeat is a necessary cruelty imposed on the vanquished as a condition of taking part. Klopp has not had to manage the process often in his career, but when invited to do so appears to lack the basic mechanisms to cope.
Klopp’s difficulty is rooted in the way he sees the world, an ugly sense of entitlement that denies the quality of the opponent. Liverpool don’t lose, they fail to win. The opponent does not succeed as a result of their own qualities and labours but as a consequence of Liverpool falling short in some way. In this scheme, Liverpool give opponents permission to win. Without it, they have no chance. We might call this cosmological view the god delusion.
There is, of course, no-one among the Kop council of ministers with the power or authority to hold Klopp to account for behaviour they would not accept from a child. He was miffed because the goals conceded ignored the disciplines and rigours that underpin the culture he has instilled. Klopp expects the team to be “compact and active” not clueless and passive. His anger was not unjustified, simply aimed at the wrong cohort.
