Embarrassing Stat That Could Prove Liverpool Have Made No Progress At All Under Jurgen Klopp

2017 has not been an year that will stay long in the memory of a Liverpool fan. Well, atleast the start of it.

After a splendid start to the season that saw them tagged as one of the favorites for the Premier League title, Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool have now dropped 12 points in the last 5 league games, dropping to the 5th place, 13 points off Chelsea at the summit.

Klopp’s first half season at the club ended in heartbreak, twice, in two cup finals but there was a general feeling of improvement around the camp at Anfield. And the decent start to the season only made these feelings stronger.

However, the last 5 league games, and the 5 cup games that they played till date, have shown that the Reds have not made enormous improvement since the German took over at the Merseyside.

Many would argue that the team looks a lot stronger and that they have a decent chance yet to qualify for Europe but a recent stat that has surfaced in the social media is making embarrassing reading for Liverpool fans.

Not many Liverpool fans would agree that their side have made completely no progress in this season and some but in truth, Liverpool have not taken a point more in the same amount of games that they played under their previous manager.

The current Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers, who took the Reds close to the Premier League title in the 2013-14 season was kicked out of the club 8 games into the previous season and was replaced by Jurgen Klopp.

Rodgers’ first 8 games that season and the season before them showed no signs of getting Liverpool back to its best and it was in unison that he had to go sooner or later.

And it looked for most parts like Jurgen Klopp has made a difference in less than a year.

However, in an eerily similar stat, Brendan Rodgers and Jurgen Klopp have taken the same number of points from their first 54 games incharge of the Anfield outfit.

If that was coincidence, what blows our mind is the fact that both managers have won the same number of games, and have drawn exactly the same number of games.

Here is a pictorial graphic of this astonishing statistic:

To put further salt in the wound, Liverpool scored 3 goals more under Rodgers than they have done under Klopp.

Make what you may of this, it is quite evident that some of the flaws that were lurking around the team under the previous manager are still quite blatantly evident under the new manager and if they continue in this manner, it will not be too harsh to say that Klopp’s place at the helm of Anfield could be in danger.
