Maybe he's trying to manufacture a mental angle? Or he knows press and fans crank it over this shit (I def do) and has no patience for it. I have no idea. "Look guys, everyone is saying that we needed to buy someone, but I say fuck that, my team is here, go out there and destroy your body for me for one more year while trying to overcome the most expensively assembled team on the planet who has the best manager in the world, who we were pretty fortunate to be within touching distance of last year, who have reinforced again."
I'm going to complain about it until the season starts, then try to have fun, then complain about it again when he is throwing Gini Wijnaldum and AOC out as wide attackers against Burnley because everyone's legs are gone two months in.
If someone's going to pull it off, it's Klopp, though.
