This year is a question that's for sure, mostly in the Bundesliga. The main reason is imo that they have a huge amount of injuries. Can't remember one time Klopp had the full squad to choose from.

ps.: If they would win trophies, they couldn't keep their big players. Just see Reus, he always said he wants to stay, but money wins - if not for the player, sure for the club.
Well, I think the last season was even worse when it comes to injuries. I followed most of their games. Now they got even more midfielders to rotate, in defence Grosskreutz has adapted at playing a right back, Durm has really grown as a player, and they have 4 quality centre-backs. Mkhitaryan is really a great player (except the fact that his finishing is letting him down), Kagawa is yet to play like in his best days (if you watched the last game against Bayern, he played really well)... It is just a proper striker that's lacking in this team, and you can't replace him with super fast players who just know how to chase the ball, but when it comes to a 1 to 1 situation they can't score (the exception being Reus, and that separates him from other fast players - good vision and passing, great dribbling, technical ability and finishing).

Trophies = money and fame, right? I just don't want him to go to Bayern, we suffered enough for Gotze and Lewandowski.
