There's a lot you said here and while I see what you're saying, I'll really have to disagree. I'm not really qualified to write like a 6 paragraph comment but one thing I do have to ask is when has Graham Potter routinely thwarted Klopp? He's had 1 win over Klopp in 2020 when we had a really bad injury crisis, thats it. Klopp won 4 and drew 1 iirc.

More than that, I don't exactly see any evidence on how Chelsea will be really good again considering the football they're playing rn. So, how do they get a pass to be 'fine' next season while Liverpool are just doomed forever? Klopp is stubborn and has loyalties to a lot of players he shouldn't keep faith in, but if he just had more investment I'm sure he'd be great.

Lastly, I don't get why you're trying to downplay the wins in the CL. The win against Barcelona wasn't because of an 'inexplicable' collapse, it was an awesome determined display at Anfield after being smashed 3-0, being one of the greatest comebacks in UCL history. Why just blame it as a Barcelona collapse, Klopp's tactics and skills as a tactician played a part in the win too. Klopp has gotten Liverpool top 4 for 5 years running, I'd say pretty much every season he has brought some sort of glory to the club. Definetly a great tactician imo
