Is Jurgen Klopp’s magic over? – Liverpool’s performance this season has been so poor that the question has been raised. The All Reds were winless in the last three matches in all competitions and were runners-up in the Premier League and Champions League last season. After Brentford in the league, Liverpool also conceded 3 goals against Brighton. A poor time in the middle led to a draw against Wolverhampton in an FA Cup match.
After losing to Real Madrid in the Champions League final, Klopp asked fans to hold off on tickets to Istanbul, the venue for this season’s final. However, it has become difficult for the Allreds to get a chance to play in the Europa League, which is far away from the Champions League next season. Klopp’s team is ninth in the table with 28 points from 18 matches.
The embattled Liverpool boss has apologized to fans with folded hands after losing 3-0 to Brighton in the last game. However, he also said that he is not leaving the club unless someone insists. The 55-year-old Klopp said, “Either the team management needs to be changed, or a lot of things need to be changed.” As far as I know, I’m not leaving unless someone tells me to.’
Sadio Mane left the club at the end of last season. Liverpool have been plagued by injuries since the start of the season. Mohamed Salah is looking for lost himself. So after the bad performance, many suggested Klopp to bring big stars to the team. However, after the World Cup, Klopp has made it clear that he will not buy any other players in January except for bringing Cody Gakpo to the team and returning Billy Kumetio who is on loan to Rapid Vienna. The Allred are aiming to sign Jude Bellingham from Borussia Dortmund next season.
Meanwhile, Roberto Firmino, James Milner, Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain will be out of contract with Liverpool at the end of this season.
Klopp took over as Liverpool coach in 2015. Liverpool’s 30-year run of Premier League titles ended during his tenure. In addition, he took the team three times to the final of the Champions League. Although their title dream was broken by losing to Real Madrid twice, they won the championship for the first time since 2005 in 2019. Klopp’s contract expires on June 30, 2026.
