Doubters to believers – How Jurgen Klopp reawakened Liverpool before self doubt led to exit

Nine months on from Klopp and Liverpool parting ways – a separation that felt barely fathomable at the time, as millions of people around the world lost a spiritual leader – we’ve learned that you don’t always need to be as close to the edge as Klopp would go to taste victory, as Arne Slot has proven.

However, the soon-to-be Premier League champion will be the first to tell you that he is benefitting from the work that Klopp put in, not just in rebuilding a squad but in repairing a club.

Doubters to Believers, the new four-part documentary from Amazon Prime Video which is released in its entirety on Friday, isn’t really what it set out to be.

When Klopp shocked the world and announced the four-month run up to him leaving in January last year it was hoped that the cameras would be there to capture every leg of a glorious victory lap, with a Quadruple still possible. Until it wasn’t.

Not that the documentary shies away from the pain. As well as the 4-3 FA Cup defeat at Manchester United there’s the misery of the 3-0 home loss to Atalanta seen through the eyes of Harvey Elliott’s demanding dad Scott, the 1-0 Anfield defeat to Crystal Palace with a watery-eyed Curtis Jones who missed a sitter, and a Merseyside derby defeat at Goodison Park complete with a family of Evertonians dancing around their living room.
