Klopp will put himself under pressure to fix this, he's the manager and it's his responsibility to fix it.

I do not blame Klopp for where we are, we have years where the squad has gradually weakened, our best home grown players have retired, we have struggled to attract/compete for the top class players as we cannot pay to match Chelsea/Man Utd/Man City etc. We have spent allot of money, but he has been squandered on the likes of Balotelli/Moreno/Markovic.

The squad has some very good players, but we are over reliant on them to perform, Klopp has cleared out allot of players in the summer (his first Summer transfer window), he brought in good players, but not enough, now we are paying for that, we do not have alternatives if these key players are not performing/injured. We played well In the first half of the season, our pressing was strong, but this is hard to maintain for a season, confidence has been shot and we are looking jaded and devoid of ideas & confidence, players have been out and are struggling to hit previous performance levels.

I do not understand why he keeps going back to Lucas at CB???? we had Gomez on the bench today, why did he not play, Lucas positional play and lack of pace caused the second goal that Hull got on the break.

This is where Klopp needs to step up and earn his money to sort this mess out, our rivals are all struggling for top 4, so we can still in the mix to finish Top 4. Come the summer, FSG need to back Klopp and pump some decent money in, the squad is too thin, we don't have many players to get rid off (lucas/Sakho/Moreno). We need to have the players lined up we need and deals done, this work should be done now in preparation. The good news is Klopps summer buys were good, so if he can get 5-6 decent players, the squad will be strengthened and we will have decent cover.

Our target is to finish fourth? You can't be serious. "Let's not try to win anything, lets see is we can be fourth and then history will read "2017 LIVERPOOL ARE MIGHTY AND FINISH err FOURTH - HOO RAH!!!!!!!
your wasting your time with that one on here... it's too late... to many people have forgotten and now put a fourth place finish over winning a Cup...absolutely shocking...disgraceful.

The recent results have been down to squad depth rather than bad management. I'm not going to list players. But look at United, Chelsea, arsenal, city sqaud depth they generally have a very good squad of 22 players 2 players for each position and some up and coming youths. We ok the other hand have utility players who we play in multiple postotions. And as I have said on previous posts our academy hasn't been up to standard for the past 10 years not many players have come through. Give klopp time and money let him bring in the players he wants young and old and let's see where he can take us.

Until we show a little ambition(reference the January transfer window) then we can forgot about winning anything. We can shout about it all we want about what we want at the start of the season. But looking at our current situation it is unrealistic to expect to win the league.

Coming into January we were in a good place in the league. With a few signings we could have challenged.But because either Klopp or FSG did not want new players we are now looking like dropping out off top 4.

And the tragic thing about it was that plenty of people seen it happening and called it before it happened.

I don't mind saying it...I honestly don't think Klopp is the answer and we could easily of had a British manager come in and done exactly the same and what's more treated the Cups with a bit more respect. Although Klopp came with a big reputation he hasn't shown us anything apart from a big of a purple patch at the start of the season which has fizzled out long ago.
The worst thing is that we have gone worse since last season, as in at least we had an excuse that we had European games to contend with, this season we have not had Europe and the team looks knacked so something is seriously wrong, I would go as far as to say if we were playing in Europe this season we would be about 14th in the league now...simply not good enough Jurgen especially given the money your on...

But he got us to two finals in his first season,you know in cups that you keep going on about that he doesn't care about. You seem to have forgotten that?

he came in after the draw with Everton last season and I think he had resigned us to not getting top four place which the owners wanted so he probably treated the cups with a bit more respect. I think this season he had a clear run at all competitions due to not playing in Europe and the fool still rested and rotated players in the cups....WHY...
I honestly think we are going to have problems in the future with this feller, he's a bit of an eccentric type of person and looks like he doesn't deal with pressure well, he turned on the fans around the dugout last home game so just wait for a few more bad results and when the English press get there hooks into him, this feller and his press conferences could become more Embarrassing than Kenneth's which is saying something.

To be honest young Spangler I think Klopp is handling the pressure very well, he is showing faith and trust in his team by not bowing to the pressure and changing things week in week out, if you look at how Moronhino kept changing players then throwing them under the bus on top of his post match antics that's what I call not handling pressure well.

but the thing is... he's showing faith and not bowing to pressure of change because he CANT...the man has no plan B when things are not working so it's not through choice, he hasn't a clue.
