LIVERPOOL fans fear they are being hit by the “curse of Jurgen Klopp” in his seventh season at the club.
That’s after seeing the German’s record at previous clubs after the same amount of time.
Liverpool have got off to a dreadful start in the new Premier League season.
The Reds drew their opening game at Fulham 2-2.
And their next result was a disappointing 1-1 against Crystal Palace – with £85million record signing Darwin Nunez sent off for a headbutt.
Liverpool’s month got worse on Monday when they lost 2-1 to fierce rivals Manchester United – who themselves had suffered defeat in their first two matches.

Liverpool now sit 16th in the table with just two points from three games and a minus-one goal difference.
It’s the club’s WORST start to a season under Klopp – under whom they have won the Premier League and Champions League.
The German has entered his seventh campaign as Liverpool boss.
And history shows Klopp has struggled with previous clubs after being at the helm for the same amount of time.

His seven season at Mainz saw them relegated from the Bundesliga.
Klopp then failed to get them promoted back to the German top flight, and he ended up leaving his position – with now-Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel taking over.
At Borussia Dortmund, where he won two titles, Klopp’s seven season resulted in a seventh-place finish.
Dortmund also lost the German Cup final 3-1 to Wolfsburg.
And again, Klopp ended up leaving the club with Tuchel as his replacement – before winding up at Liverpool months later.
FANS FEAR CURSE
Reds fans are now terrified they could be in for a similar rough ride.
One tweeted: “He will get Liverpool relegated.”
Another said: “On the seventh day even God rested. This is a rest year.”
One noted: “Playing Klopp’s style is all about hunger. You can’t keep playing well if you keep winning.
“The hunger dies, players become cocky, that’s why he constantly needs fresh faces.”

Another added: “It’s called wear and tear on the players.
“I have followed Klopp’s career since he was at Mainz and I was already thinking seven years is the magical number for him.”
