...
Mainz was "sick" again!
It was obvious.
The Frankfurt Allgemeine Zeitung believed that Klopp's team was entering a new slump.
"The Mainz he manages is always like this. They're stunning when they're playing well, but more often than not, they revert to their old selves and fall into a listless slump!"
"But this is the true level of Mainz!"
Kicker Magazine also believed that Mainz's position at the top of the table was unsustainable.
As one of the teams that spent the least in this summer's Bundesliga transfer market, Mainz was practically playing in the Bundesliga with a 2nd Bundesliga squad. Many of their players, like Helle and Lővér, were bargains picked up on free transfers.
The only player they spent money on was Hainauer, and his performance was there for all to see.
But that was the extent of Mainz's strength.
Besides, this wasn't the first time.
Under Klopp's management, Mainz always started strong but finished weak.
