Will Liverpool’s Jurgen Klopp be sacked?

After a bad run in the league, questions are being raised about Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp.

After draws to Manchester United, Newcastle, Burnley and Watford and a 5-0 loss to Manchester City the pressure was on for Klopp and his side, with a fixture on Sunday against Tottenham.

Unfortunately for them, they couldn’t handle Kane who scored twice and led his team to a 4-1 victory, with Liverpool’s defence coming under scrutiny once again for not being able to stop the young English striker.

Players such as Matip and Lovren struggled against Kane on the weekend.

Klopp is yet to win a trophy at Liverpool, but has got to the final of the Europa League and the League Cup, losing both times. However, Klopp managed to reach the Champions League last season as his club finished fourth, therefore guaranteeing a place in Europe under new UEFA rules.

Liverpool recruited well in the summer attacking-wise, but didn’t take into account their defensive issues with the only defensive player they brought in was Andrew Roberston, a former Hull 23 year old full back.

This defensive problem means Liverpool are only a mere ninth this season, twelve points off league leaders Manchester City so Klopp’s future is in major doubt.
