The 2015-16 season was Liverpool's 124th season of football since they were established. It was a season of change for the Reds, as Brendan Rodgers left the club in early October after a disappointing start. He was replaced by Jurgen Klopp, who turned the team around and led the club to two cup finals, but was unfortunate to lose in both.
