I’m debunking this myth “never been fully backed” https://twitter.com/the_gerrard_era/status/1360606563585511431
In klopps first full season.
16/17 He bought (£s)
Gini 25m
Mané 30m
Matip 0m
Klavan 5m

Steady progress on building a team. Still had sturridge, Coutinho, lallana (prime), solid enough team.
17/18
He brought in :
Salah 40m
Ox 35m
Robbo 8m
Sold Coutinho mid season and bought VVD and got to a champions league final. Poor team but started to look much better.
18/19
Spent big
Alisson 56m
Keita 52m
Shaq 11m
Fabinho 40m
Our biggest window by far. Brought in key players and plugged the gaps arguably our best season under Klopp. Won a champions league.
19/20
Adrian 0m
Harvey Elliott 4m
Van de berg 2m
Minamino 7m
Quiet window because Klopp felt like he had a good enough squad to win the league as proven the season before. He was proven right again. Fsg not backing wasn’t an issue it was klopps decision
20/21
Strengthen while on top. We did.
Thiago 20m
Jota 42m
Tsimikas 12m
We did strengthen. We lost lovren but Klopp wanted fab as 4th choice cb. No one could’ve predicted injuries in such a freak season. 3 recognised cbs injured for 75% of the season. (1/2)
You can’t sit here and say he wasn’t backed. We never buy anyone in January bar VVD. Yes fsg left it too late but to say they’ve never fully backed him is bs. This season is wrote off because of the injuries we have. A lot of players will be moved on in the summer... (2/3)
And we will bring players in. Players have been burnt out and you can see the effects on the team of the thin squad. You can’t sit here and say we didn’t think we would win the league at the start. Look at our team if everyone’s fit it’s scary how good it is... (3/4)
This season has proved that our “ second choice” players aren’t good enough and you can see Klopp realises that now. As fans a lot of you had a honeymoon period where you though everyone was good enough because of previous moments in the club 3 years ago.... (4/5)
Waste of space players like
Harry Wilson
Origi
Ox
Neco
Gini
Matip
Shaqiri
etc all have proven they are good enough anymore and must be moved on stop romanticising players because they look good modelling the winter range . We will be back dont worry
