Been thinking about it and if I am honest, the majority of our problems are down to Klopp.
He buys the players, he picks the players, he directs training (at least I assume he does; he seems a very "hands on" type of manager), he chooses the tactics, when to make substitutions, and - more importantly from our perspective - he also gets final say on who leaves, who comes in, and who doesn't, during transfer windows.
I don't think it is all Klopp's fault though. He's probably the best manager we've had since Houllier, and we know players will make mistakes more often than not. Whether Lovren, Hansen, Henderson, Gerrard, Mignolet, or Clemence, they're only human and will make mistakes. But it's a manager's job to try to eliminate those mistakes, and it's done by coaching and bringing in a more consistent player.
That said, I have to keep perspective. 10 men vs City, probably only one player away from having a solid defence, and Keita is on the way. But yeah, for me, Klopp isn't making things easy for himself. He really needs to stop thinking attack for a while, and concentrate on defence. It's how we cannot defend from the front and as a unit which is as much of a problem as any individual errors are.
