Jurgen Klopp

Liverpool, 10th after the opening 20 games, have endured a miserable season to date and are staring at the very real prospect of having no European football ...

He was the wrong player at the wrong club at the wrong time. Whoever is in charge next season has a massive job on his hands. Jurgen Klopp will WALK OUT on Liverpool if they are knocked out of the Champions League by Real Madrid, Richard Keys predicts... Not now - but if they're knocked out of the CL (Champions League) by Real Madrid I think he'll be gone before the start of next season. In fact, the entire midfield is too old or not good enough. The downfall is Klopp's responsibility.

Liverpool are going through a dreadful run of spell with Jurgen Klopp's side yet to win in the league in 2023.

But BeIN Sports host Keys believes Klopp will be the one to decide to ultimately walk away in the very near future if Liverpool end up being knocked out of the Champions League. Just months after agonisingly missing out on a historic quadruple, Liverpool find themselves down in 10th in the table and with the Champions League their only chance of silverware this season. Whoever is in charge next season has a massive job on his hands. In fact, the entire midfield is too old or not good enough. "Thiago is past his best - not that I was ever a fan. [Liverpool](/latest/liverpool-fc) boss Jurgen Klopp 'will walk' away from Anfield if they get knocked out of the Champions League by Real Madrid next month.

[HAVE YOUR SAY!](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/manutd-tenhag-scholes-klopp-claim-29173594#comments-wrapper) Is Scholes' assessment on Ten Hag fair and accurate? "Now, why would you change and go back to something that didn't really work at the start of the season? Arteta will be stubborn, Guardiola will be stubborn, Jurgen Klopp will be stubborn. [Liverpool](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/liverpool-fc) in August, Scholes heaped praise on the United boss for ditching his preferred football philosophy for the sake of the three points, something he claimed the likes of Klopp, City boss Pep Guardiola and [Arsenal](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/arsenal-fc) manager Mikel Arteta wouldn't have the humility to do. [Arsenal](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/arsenal-fc) and arch-enemies [Liverpool.](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/liverpool-fc) In both of those contests, the Red Devils may not have played the perfect football Ten Hag eventually wants to achieve, but he managed to oversee a vital win on both occasions.

Journalist and presenter Richard Keys believes that Jurgen Klopp will leave Liverpool in the summer with the Reds looking a shadow of their former selves.

He was the wrong player at the wrong club at the wrong time. Thiago is past his best – not that I was ever a fan. “That was one of Fergie’s greatest strengths – that he would rip apart successful teams.

- Liverpool legend makes Klopp stance clear after disappointing January window](/football/liverpool-transfer-news-jurgen-klopp-robbie-fowler-058623-20230202) He was the wrong player at the wrong club at the wrong time. Whoever is in charge next season has a massive job on his hands. "He didn't start the re-build soon enough. However, Keys has attributed the Reds' problems this season solely to Klopp, stating: "Liverpool are way off. The downfall is Klopp's responsibility.

Richard Keys says Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp could quit in case the Reds get knocked out of the UEFA Champions League.

It would be unfortunate for such a talented and dedicated individual to leave the club under such circumstances. It is so tough to imagine anyone beyond Klopp at the helm at Liverpool after all the success he has had at the club. In any case, the author for one, cannot think beyond Klopp to manage the Reds out of this mess. That means the German would have certainly envisioned something for the club. However, thank god that the presenter is not responsible for anything at Liverpool. The downfall is Klopp’s responsibility.”

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp spoke to the media ahead of Monday's Merseyside derby against Everton.

He never was and never will be. He said: "That's a lot [91 games since the start of last season], absolutely. "He played as he's a very, very important player for us. "This week, they all look incredibly fresh. Easy as that," Klopp added. The Reds captain has faced criticism in recent months, with many questioning whether his excessive workload has caught up with him.

After another Premier League defeat last weekend, Liverpool will know all too well there is little margin for error in Monday evening's Merseyside derby.

Saturday offered another reminder – perhaps the starkest to date – of the challenges over recent weeks and months. Whether Monday’s visit of Everton, fresh from their impressive victory over Arsenal, is the ideal fixture at present is up for debate. If the players can’t get up for this match and sort their own dips in form against their rivals from the other side of Stanley Park, then there will be absolutely nothing left to say. It’s not great at the moment, there’s no escaping that, but it is another form of challenge. What also feels worth embracing is the considerable potential for improvement over the coming weeks. Much energy has been expended on trying to solve the Liverpool conundrum this year; explanations have ranged from a lack of investment to a lack of desire. The reintroduction of key personnel will reinvigorate the team and our performances. And no, it can’t be that if everything is the problem, nothing is, because clearly there’s something amiss. I don’t know what will fix the current run of form. Now is the time to stick together and start believing as we head towards a pivotal Merseyside derby fixture. Let's get the ground bouncing.' There's no point grumbling about our lack of activity in the transfer window now, that's history. We need only cast our mind back to how Van Dijk transformed the dynamics of the team when he arrived.

The Mailbox floats an idea for Jurgen Klopp to recharge his batteries while Rafa Benitez steps in for the rest of a season already written off.

There was no way that Leeds were going to be able to afford a player that was scoring at the rate of more than a goal a game in the Bundesliga. For a start it’s reported in the Daily Mail which I trust about as much as I trust the Glazers. Even if they had been able to afford the transfer they would never have been able to afford his wages. Hypothetically what were the chances of him coming to Leeds had he been available at the end of that season? The point being that City’s style of play has been altered to accommodate him, and while he has amazing personal stats it’s ultimately to the detriment of the team. Klopp’s shown he can get the team out of this already and even if he cant this season due to having a banjaxed squad then he is still, and always bloody will be, one of the best managers on earth. While Kane would probably be brilliant anyway, just because he is brilliant, he still isn’t quite as well-suited to our style of play, and I can imagine him dropping deep to play the ball up to… It’s odd to say, but this guy who’s probably going to finish on 40 Premier League goals this season is a hindrance to the team overall. They lost 6 home games IN A ROW that year and then pulled it out of the bag with 8 wins and 2 draws in the last 10 league games to get champions league football when it seemed impossible at one stage. Someone with a connection to the club, who could quickly start to get results and is available… Liverpool just need to find a manager willing to take over for a few months to see the season out. Frankly, the season is already a bust, once Real Madrid knock Liverpool out of the CL, there will be nothing left to play for.

We had changes up front and when you have changes up front you want to have a more settled midfield, that’s clear and when it’s happening you don’t change too much and all these kind of things. Because we couldn’t do it and now we could do it a bit more; but in the past we couldn’t because everyone who was available, especially up front, had to play. We did the analysis, we spoke to each other and then we gave them two days off because it’s a very long time between Saturday and Monday. This is not a time we wanted to have or a time we are happy to be in or whatever. Of course Arsenal were dominant, that’s clear, but in the end Everton had really good chances before they scored already and the goal came from a set-piece; that’s how they scored in the end but they could have scored in other moments as well. Training was so far really good and will be, everything is in the right direction. For us, it is now not too important because the last season is long ago, we try to manage things – like workload – as much as we can. We have to prepare that – that’s what we did and will do in the upcoming days. And I’m really looking forward to a derby atmosphere, a proper atmosphere and to a proper, proper football game. But I think this is a time where as well we can show, if we want to show, that the club is really special. I really believe the better you behave in your lower moments, the quicker you get in the better moments again and then the much more success you will have in the better moments because you are just still together.
