Even better, imagine being first at the turn of the year/practically half-way through the season and possibly doing the same - Klopp getting an easy ride...
Klopp lost his top 3 CB's and still looks like they will at worst get EL with a decent shot at CL. He also has won the CL and PL in the past two years so has earned a bit of that "easy ride" that he is supposedly getting.
