Following Liverpool’s heavy 4-1 defeat to Napoli, TalkSport pundit Jason Cundy has claimed that some Liverpool fans will want Jurgen Klopp out.
The Reds fell to another defeat but the manner of the performance will worry Liverpool fans and it’s clear to see there are serious issues right now.
Some believe that it’s down to injuries, some believe it’s down to poor transfer planning and some even think that the loss of Sadio Mane has caused the poor form we’re seeing.
With the pressure mounting, TalkSport pundit Cundy has posed the idea that some fans may want to see a change of manager, despite all of Klopp’s successes.

“I guarantee you know that some LFC fans are thinking Klopp Out…”
Following the result, Cundy made his claim and argued his point with the former Tottenham defender Jamie O’Hara.
“I guarantee you now, there are Liverpool fans out there…they are thinking it – Klopp out” Cundy claimed.
“There are Liverpool fans looking at that and looking at Chelsea thinking we’ve missed out on (Graham) Potter. Look at where they are, they have the same points as Brentford!”
The Reds currently sit seventh in the PL and bottom of Group A in the Champions League but they only sit five points behind Manchester City and should still qualify from their tough group that also contains Ajax and Rangers.

There’s the infamous Klopp ‘7th season syndrome’ in which all of his previous jobs in management have all ended in his seventh season – which he finds himself in right now on Merseyside.
In that season, Klopp saw out the full season but finished seventh in the league, runners up in the cup and bowed out in the Champions League Round of 16. But it was described as a ‘hero despite a season of torment and failure‘.
Even at Mainz, the seventh season saw tough times. He managed promotion three years before it, which saw him hailed as a hero, but they then were relegated once again and he resigned after failing to get them promoted the following season.
However, Klopp is as experienced right now as he’s ever been and he will be afforded time because of what he’s done for Liverpool football club.
