The Blues have troubles of their own, as they sit a place above Liverpool. “Klopp single-handedly changed all of that and went on to win every trophy possible along the way, and he didn’t just turn them into a winning side, he completely revolutionised their style of play.” [Caught Offside](https://www.caughtoffside.com/2023/02/06/exclusive-stan-collymore-column-february-two/): “The reality is, if FSG sack Klopp, there is no one else out there better equipped to do a better job.

Liverpool struggles should come as no surprise and three other ... (Liverpool Echo)

Liverpool's decline during the 2022/23 season has been well-documented but Jurgen Klopp's side are not alone in their struggles.

[ Although Klopp has moved to deny suggestions he has been too loyal to certain individuals during his tenure](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/jurgen-klopp-faces-test-over-26012672), the negative impacts of failing to freshen up the squad have become clear for all to see. Heavy metal football is no longer on the agenda at Anfield as the Reds' boss struggles to get a tune out of his players. Add to the mix unrest relating to FSG and a group of players who were pushed to their limits last year and expected to go again, making sense of Liverpool’s malaise becomes less of a mystery and rather a product of the environment. Only a select few can still find a way to lead the way when being far from their best. Despite boasting the star-studded front three of Kylian Mbappe, Lionel Messi and Neymar, PSG suffered defeats to Lens and Rennes last month and were held at home against Reims. For Liverpool, it seems that moment has arrived and a summer refresh is undoubtedly required. In Spain, Sevilla celebrated a third successive fourth-placed finish in 2021/22 to secure another year of Champions League football. The six-week break for the winter World Cup provided [Liverpool ](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/all-about/liverpool-fc)with the chance to regroup and attack 2023 in style, though little progress has been made since the turn of the year. But hopes of retaining their crown are all but over in February. While it may feel Liverpool are alone in experiencing this major drop-off in form, a look at other European leagues proves this is certainly not the case. [Klopp’s](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/all-about/jurgen-klopp) side, who responded to a dismal display at Manchester United in August by beating Bournemouth 9-0 the following match, who lost 4-1 away to Napoli and then rallied to overcome Ajax at Anfield six days later. Shipping three goals away to Brighton, Brentford and Wolves cannot be pinned on a lack of new signings, however.

Liverpool: 5 things Jurgen Klopp needs to fix (90min)

The Reds would love to be in a top-four battle in the Premier League but are now clinging onto their faint hopes of playing any form of European football next ...

We're at a point in the crisis where Klopp has to be ruthless. It's up to Klopp to figure out why, and more importantly, how to fix it. Klopp has his core group of trusted players, and rightly so. From the transfer team to the medical department, plenty of influential figures have left Anfield recently and there isn't a lot Klopp can do about most of that. If that is the case, new signings may be needed. Is it down to age?

Jürgen Klopp and the strange ritualistic power of the press conference (The Guardian)

The whole encounter is a kind of pantomime, a verbal arm-wrestle in which the protagonists have largely conflicting goals.

Control of the ball and control of the transition, control of the science and control of the message. Because in essence the whole encounter is a kind of pantomime, a marketplace, a verbal arm-wrestle in which the protagonists have largely conflicting goals. There are coaches for whom the press conference dais may as well be their pulpit: a piece of performance theatre as intrinsic to their brand as anything they do on a training pitch. But here in this windowless room on a cardboard campus in the middle of nowhere, there is a small piece of it that will forever be yours, some mid-strength embargoed Eddie Howe quotes burning a hole in your Olympus voice recorder. But while coaches must occasionally read their own press – what is the point in having an ego that big unless you can stroke it every so often? But they always have one big power differential over the rest of the room: while everyone is obliged to know who they are, they are not remotely obliged to know any of the faces in front of them. Yet for all its inefficiency there remains a strange ritualistic power to the press conference, into which all its participants willingly buy. Big Fields medal announcement on Wednesday night, how important is it to get your hands on that first trophy of the year? Prof Andrew Wiles: congratulations on the proof of Fermat’s Last Theorem, do you think you’ve really laid down a marker there to the mathematical field? Just pause for a second to consider how much more Klopp must know about his job than the average attendee at one of his press conferences. Particularly when you consider the rawness of the emotions involved, the artificiality of the setting, the staggering gulf in expertise between those doing the asking and those doing the answering. This is no slight on the football press, by the way: these are by definition quite different jobs with different functions, different target audiences, almost a different language.

Jürgen Klopp has new Liverpool ruthless side and must defy critics ... (Liverpool.com)

Having been called not ruthless enough, Jürgen Klopp is now being questioned by former Liverpool players over one of his braver calls on Jordan Henderson.

To be fair to him, those issues could apply to many of the players in the squad, but they still don't paint him in a positive light. The duo have been invaluable, but their prominent figures in midfield have restricted Liverpool from evolving beyond them. Once players are picked for other reasons beyond footballing ability, issues tend to emerge, and that is increasingly becoming the case with Henderson, and perhaps also James Milner, who plays less often. He's the heartbeat of the midfield and he has still got the legs to do it." Certain players are praised because of their contributions towards morale, teamwork, standards and harmony within the dressing room, but it is a problem when those perks are prioritized over actual performances on the field. The Liverpool captain is known for his vocal qualities, almost acting as a coach on the pitch. He wasn't the only one, with ex-Red Danny Murphy also stating as much on talkSPORT: "I don't care how he trains, Henderson starts every game for me. The likes of Leadership can't be the main reason behind starting a player, it must be an additional perk. Jürgen Klopp has tried everything this season. [Jordan Henderson](https://www.liverpool.com/all-about/jordan-henderson) and [Fabinho](https://www.liverpool.com/all-about/fabinho) have been pillars of strength for Klopp throughout his tenure on Merseyside but since the turn of the year, they have been presented with roles on the bench. [Reds](https://www.liverpool.com/liverpool-fc-news/) lost 3-0 against Wolves with Keïta in the team, in what proved to be an embarrassing display from a group of players who clearly seemed to be struggling for confidence.

Jurgen Klopp has urged Liverpool to sign a Premier League midfielder to help them get back to their best ready for next season, according to a report.

Caicedo even handed in a transfer request to try and help the move go through. Plus, Brighton are more likely to consider Caicedo’s departure at the end of the season, something they were not willing to do in January. Arsenal thought they could still prize Caicedo away from the Amex though and therefore launched two proposals. Liverpool’s hole in the midfield is obvious and it was once again capitalised on by Wolves. And Italian journalist Rudy Galetti has now suggested the Prem star they will likely target. Joel Matip scoring an own goal before Craig Dawson and Ruben Neves bagged for the home side.

Departing Liverpool data head who recommended Jürgen Klopp ... (Liverpool.com)

The odds on Jürgen Klopp being the next Premier League boss to leave his managerial role have slashed this week, but Liverpool and FSG know the truth.

Unlike many of his peers across the continent, Klopp has proved his status as a real star who is genuinely capable of getting more out of his players than seems realistically possible. In his book, he stated: "Maybe it would have been better if we had changed the whole team instead of firing the coach because there are so many good players but not many great coaches. Rash decisions and short-termism seems to be behind a lot of manager sackings," he wrote in his conclusion. [Ian Graham](https://www.liverpool.com/liverpool-fc-news/features/liverpool-transfer-jurgen-klopp-fsg-25596082) conducted the study, having been appointed as Liverpool's first-ever director of research just a few years earlier. The Anfield boss hasn't simply lost that innate skill, he is just navigating his club through turbulent waters. For the most part, upon inspection of the whole footballing landscape, it seems changing the coach does little aside from an initial short-term bounce. On a regular basis, Graham would tackle a common but unproven legend or cliché in search of hard evidence to support those historic notions. [Fenway Sports Group](https://www.liverpool.com/all-about/fsg) (FSG) back in 2015, the [Reds](https://www.liverpool.com/liverpool-fc-news/) owners wished to conduct a detailed analysis of his final season at Borussia Dortmund, in which BVB had finished seventh in the Bundesliga table. Football is a demanding sport and the clamor for consistently positive results is never-ending, which perhaps explains why many of Klopp's peers are rarely employed for longer than two seasons before they are dismissed. Graham was convinced that Klopp was more than fine despite Borussia Dortmund's fortunes, and proceeded by recommending his appointment. This season, Liverpool's form has been truly appalling and some of the performances have been even worse, conceding the same amount of goals as Everton — who are ranked 18th — while winning fewer games than Fulham, who achieved promotion from the Championship just seven months ago. "You're getting sacked in the morning," chanted Wolves fans at Jürgen Klopp as his team suffered an embarrassing defeat on Saturday afternoon.
