Jurgen Klopp

Not surprisingly after Liverpool get humped and Chelsea sack another manager, it's a bumper morning Mailbox. Some of Jurgen Klopp's believers have abandoned ...

It’s not a Friday so may not make the mailbox as it’s not really relevant to this weeks football or Chelsea sacking Tuchel. He is largely to blame for the situation but the players have questions to be answered and the same thing will happen again and again if it’s not addressed. If they don’t get their things in order soon, with Newcastle coming and Man City, Man U and Liverpool continuing to stay therein in the player market, they could find themselves in a West ham type position. We all knew Abramovich had a trigger finger ready to pull, but even he held it back for the story to develop. The gist of that mail was – the 3-5-2 with the emphasis on a watertight defence, and an attacking gameplan revolving almost solely around quick counter attacks, was the perfect way to steady the ship after the chaos of our play under Lampard, and it was the perfect plan for frustrating and dispatching elite teams on the way to winning the Champions League. Why are the media not advancing the argument that the players are also to blame? Either you trust that transition to a man who has bought the club incredible success or you chuck him in the bin at the first sign of trouble and give the job to a mercenary like Jose. A few points on the general season and last night’s result. What’s confusing the hell out of me is that we’re only a few months out from being the side that came bloody close to winning the quadruple. So a quiet word in the owners ear for more midfield resource this summer would not have been out of the bounds of logic and possibility! I think it’s the midfield but the way we look it’s starting to make me wonder if it goes deeper. it’s not the loss of Mane imo (though that is an easy target and it hurts a little now!).

LIVERPOOL were sent back to the drawing board by a rampant Napoli in the Champions League.

Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag had to ditch his distinct playing style to stop the rot at Old Trafford and his side have since won four matches in a row. Arthur Melo and Thiago Alcantara are among the candidates to partner Fabinho, having both started on the bench in Naples. Klopp's 4-3-3 has served Liverpool well over the years but, having been opened up by Napoli time and again on Wednesday, it could be time to introduce more stability in midfield.

Liverpool lost 4-1 to Napoli in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday night and Jurgen Klopp suddenly finds himself under pressure at Anfield.

Luiz Diaz pulled one back early in the second half for the visitors but it proved to be little more than a consolation.

[Jurgen Klopp](/jurgen-klopp), [Champions League](/champions-league), [Thomas Tuchel](/thomas-tuchel), [Liverpool](/liverpool), [Napoli](/napoli) On Twitter, one fan responded to the news of Klopp’s slashed odds with: “No way, one of the best managers in the league even after this.” Jurgen Klopp's odds to be the next PL manager sacking have gone from 66/1 to just 12/1 this evening, after losing 4-1 to Napoli 😳— ODDSbible (@ODDSbible) The odds on Jurgen Klopp to become the next Premier League manager sacked have slashed dramatically following Liverpool’s shock 4-1 defeat to Napoli in the Champions League on Wednesday evening.

Jurgen Klopp believes Wolves will have been 'laughing' at the prospect of facing Liverpool following their 4-1 defeat to Napoli.The Reds, who conteste.

“I’m not going to criticise their attitude because the mentality is fantastic, but is this a massive drop-off physically because of what’s happened over the last five or six years? No free bet expiry. “In three days we play against Wolves and when they saw the game tonight they cannot stop laughing probably and think, ‘oh my god, that’s a perfect moment’. Free bet stakes not included in returns. Free bets only redeemable on football. “There’s a lot of things lacking and the fun part is we have to do that in the middle of a Premier League season and a Champions League campaign.

When asked if he's worried about getting the sack, Klopp replied: "Not really.

There are various views in the Mailbox about where Liverpool, Klopp and FSG are going wrong. Plus, VAR, shirts from outside of Europe and...

Suck it up and back the team and manager that have given all Liverpool fans some amazing performances and games. He has deserved the chance to turn it round, and I’m sure he will. The high line requires the centrebacks to be in sync. Klopp has been excellent in the most part and success truly deserved with amazing levels of entertainment and quality from his players for the last 3 years, but would be wise to recognise this, and in light of how this season is unfolding. They failed to strengthen the squad when we were after winning the Prem and CL. Whilst the scoreline is the only stat that matters, Liverpool created easily as many chances as Napoli did, it’s just Napoli scored theirs and we didn’t. For the first time, it was clear Liverpool didn’t have the ability, and most damningly didn’t have the drive nor conviction, to turn the game around. I think he will resign – he thrives as part of and leader of a collective – if he feels that people aren’t listening to him, then I think the demotivation will infect him and depress him enough that he steps away, and I wouldn’t blame him – it must be so hard to get so little in reward for so much effort and over-performance from his team, purely because City have been fractionally better (which they are – Pep’s genius is in keeping his team so magnificently motivated – money doesn’t buy that, it is all Pep). He would systematically use the benefits of a hugely successful marketing and global strategy to rebuild, time and again. New owners for a few months and you sack someone who has guided your club to CL victory then guaranteed you CL through a period of total uncertainty . We may be serial bridesmaids to City, but good god, for much of my time as a fan we weren’t even invited to the wedding! But yeah, let’s get rid of him because he’s had a bad start to the season.

"You can sit in a meeting room and show videos all day long, but the place to be is out on the field. "Klopp's going to have a lot of sleepless nights coming up because I don't know how he fixes it. They're going to be playing every three days, how are they going to do it? "Not the way that Liverpool have been this season. Nicol has described Wednesday's 4-1 loss to Napoli as a "new low" but does not think Klopp has the time to rectify it on the training ground. What you cannot forgive is a midfield and a back line that is absolutely all over the place.

When Klopp first issued the warning via BT Sport after the game it sounded ominously, dramatically, like a Liverpool manager calling time on a successful yet ...

“We’re not in the best shape, best situation, but we’re going to make this right – that’s the confidence I have,” said the defender. The introduction of the fit-again and desperately needed Thiago Alcântara restored a semblance of order to Liverpool’s display in Naples, although the game had long gone by then and there may be no quick fix to Klopp’s problems. Trent Alexander-Arnold did not disguise his disgust when picking out Salah unmarked inside the Napoli area only for his pinpoint cross to roll under the forward’s foot and out for a goal-kick. The question, daft on so many levels, brought the final press conference of the night to a suitably disheartening close for Klopp. Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino, Virgil van Dijk and Alisson are not in the same predicament today, despite performing in a more judgmental world typified on Wednesday by a journalist asking Klopp whether he feared a repeat of Then, Shankly decided in the wake of an FA Cup defeat by second-division Watford that he had to “do my job and change the team”.

Liverpool's defeat to Napoli could see Jurgen Klopp make changes - but the Reds boss has already hinted that he knows what could be wrong.

But what became apparent in Naples is the Reds no longer have the belief they can truly grab a game by the scruff of the neck early on and exert their influence on proceedings. It all starts, though, with a return to absolute basics. The Reds have made a huge financial commitment in Liverpool supporters will hope it isn’t the latter. “But I need time for saying the right things, because at the moment it’s not 100% clear.” Part of that can be addressed with the type of counter-pressing Klopp noted was completely missing against Napoli until Thiago Alcantara’s welcome comeback shortly after the hour. As the boss himself admitted, it wasn’t difficult to see where the issues lay in midweek. But Liverpool are also not capitalising on their own periods of dominance. Ensuring there is no panic will be the immediate concern, along with lifting spirits and confidence with the relentless schedule bringing a Premier League visit of Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday. Some of the problems have an immediate fix. Liverpool have long shown the benefit of organised enthusiasm, but were schooled in that department by Napoli until it was way too late to offer a meaningful response. It was bad enough viewing the first time around.
