# 1. Surmounting expectations
Jurgen Klopp's appointment in 2015 indicated the start of a process for the club. It was expected that he was the right man to bring back the glory days to the club in a few years.
2017/18 season saw Liverpool reach the Champions League final and there were signs of better things to come. After spending more than £230 million in 2018 alone, the Reds are now being seen as the title favorites.
The Anfield giants have had a tough luck in the past when it came to Premier League. They came massively close to winning it in 2008/09 only to fall short in the dying days. They suffered a similar fate in 2013/14 when a couple of bad results ensured their fall despite leading for a majority of the season.
Clearly, the team doesn't perform well under pressure. Five games into the season and they are already deemed to be favorites. The fans do have a reason to worry this time around too.
