Opponents must be laughing at us, furious after the Klopp debacle. Is it coming to an end?

Last year, they were 100% in the basic group and reached the final, where they were not good enough for Real Madrid. However, the Liverpool footballers started the new season of the Champions League more than embarrassed, in fact the same as the whole season.

“Naples played a really good game, we didn’t. We served them the third and fourth goals on a plate. In three days we play against Wolves, who if they saw today’s game, they probably won’t stop laughing. We have to find a new set-up to be much better at the weekend in basically everything,” Klopp said after the debacle in Italy.

“It’s a disappointing evening for all the fans at the venue. Of course I raise my hands, I have to apologize for our performance. We weren’t compact enough, on the contrary, the opponent played very well,” he added at the post-match press conference.

Carragher cups defensive tactics

While Liverpool are currently in seventh place in the domestic competition, Napoli are second and have yet to lose this season. She also confirmed her form against the English giant.

“A great performance and a victory that we fully deserved. I am happy with the mentality of the boys and the quality of our game. However, we are at the beginning and the journey that awaits us will continue to require maximum effort,” coach Luciano Spalletti praised his players.

Liverpool scored very cheap goals in Italy, the offside trap didn’t work several times. “They cannot continue with this tactic while the intensity of the team, especially in midfield, is not there. He has to adapt to the opponent. You can see it all season,” Reds club legend Jamie Carragher criticized on Twitter.

Klopp admitted after the game that if the team plays high and does not put pressure on the players with the ball, they are taking a big risk. “That was exactly our problem. They were never close enough to trouble our opponents,” he admitted.

Some fans blame Klopp in particular and even ask for his departure. “Thank you for all the achievements you have made for us. But it’s time for a change,” reads one of the comments on social networks. Other fans ironically note that the German strategist apparently wants to imitate his compatriot Thomas Tuchel, who ended up on the Chelsea bench on Wednesday. A surprising loss at the start of the League also proved fatal for him champions, but for a change on the field of Dinamo Zagreb.

If we were to look at Klopp’s history, a certain statistical parallel with a possible departure really exists. He has been on Liverpool’s bench for the seventh year and exactly after this time he moved to England from Borussia Dortmund in 2015. Before that he coached German Mainz and do you know how long? Yes, seven years.

The only consolation for Liverpool fans can be the fact that the club is not doing well in Naples for a long time. Moreover, given the start of the season, nothing is lost in any competition.
