Klopp needs to win something soon given the money he's spent. This is his 4th season, if he finishes potless AGAIN then his job has to be on the line.

If he keeps his job afeter another winless season it's basically an acceptance that they're a Roma, a Marseille, a Villareal....can no longer claim to be part of the elite. We've known for years but they're a bit slow, bless 'em.

However i think even their patience will start to run out if he goes four seasons without winning a single trophy so i think he might try a bit harder in the league cup this year.
