Some Liverpool fans are actually demanding for Jurgen Klopp to be sacked

Listen to this Liverpool fan rant on the radio

This is a bit ridiculous, surely?

Jurgen Klopp is generally acknowledged as one of the best managers in the Premier League – if not the whole of Europe.

Despite lacking the kind of resources – both in terms of playing staff and transfer funds – of rival coaches, his Liverpool side sit fourth in the table, and ahead of both mega-rich Manchester clubs.

Yet due to a difficult few weeks which have seen the Anfield club struggle to match their excellent pre-Christmas form, some Liverpool fans are actually asking for his head. That’s right – there are actually supporters out there who have decided they have had enough and that Klopp has to go.

#KloppOut was trending on Wednesday night as Liverpool crashed out of the League Cup to Southampton, after failing to breach the Saints’ defence over two legs.

Part of that was of course rival fans causing mischief, as well as Liverpool fans shooting down their own for airing such preposterous views, but some of it was genuine.

No doubt this same fickle lot will be cheering his name again once results improve…
