Is Jurgen Klopp still the best option to get Liverpool out of this funk? Can he rebuild? This is not something that has been tried often before...
3-0 defeat at the hands of WolvesA thoroughly unhappy afternoon in the Black Country was rounded off by him snapping at a journalist in the post-match press conference, a reaction which may have been understandable considering the pressure growing around him in recent weeks, but absolutely not a successful ending to a pretty dismal weekend.
A point from a torpid game against Chelsea was a return of sorts, but their other three league games didn’t just end in defeat; Liverpool conceded three goals against Brighton, Brentford and Wolves, and even more troubling was that the performances in all three of these games was poor, with few signs of things improving. At many – likely most – football clubs, such a state of affairs would lead to pretty swift action being taken.
And once you’re into the habit of sacking your manager every 18 months, year, or six months, it can be almost impossible to break from it unless you chance upon a manager who can just keep on relentlessly winning matches. This all leaves Liverpool in a tricky spot. Jurgen Klopp built a great Liverpool team. But building more than one truly team is extremely difficult, and all the more so nowadays, when everybody knows that a tiny number of clubs with infinitely deep pockets may well outbid you. And although Liverpool are a massive club with a huge global pull, their pockets are not infinitely deep. Over the last couple of years it’s felt as though they’ve had to run faster and faster just to stand still.
So, what to do next? Sticking with him until things improves seems like the obvious choice, but…what if they don’t? Are Liverpool supporters expected to just sit and wait things out until he decides to resign? Their next few matches really demand a more positive outlook from Liverpool.
