Should Klopp retire? Analysis of the sad state of Liverpool

Date: March 29, 2024 Time: 18:37:37

It’s not just the coach’s fault.

The 2020/21 Premier League season has become somewhat unusual compared to recent ones, because Liverpool flew out of the championship race in the middle of the season, and not he, but Manchester United became the second . Furthermore, the Merseysiders miraculously jumped into the top three, having come through a difficult year with injuries, failed transfers and other attendant problems. But as you know, everything is known by comparison, and that season doesn’t look so bad against the background of 2022/23.

On February 4, Liverpool again lost a game in the Premier League with a devastating score from Wolverhampton (0:3), and the goal difference in the last four games is amazing: 1:9 with one point won. On paper, Liverpool have not ceased to be a top club, but in fact, on the field, they now play no better than any middle peasant or even an outsider from the English championship. The Reds are 21 points behind leaders Arsenal and 11 points from the Champions League.

A possible similar position for Liverpool has been in the air since that same 2020/21 season, but instead of their decision and rebuilding the team, the club decided to close their eyes and wait for a rectification of the situation. But this did not happen. Last season was the end point for the still strong Liverpool, which made the most of its opportunities, masking all the problems, but already from the start of the current championship it became clear that the reds were dragging out the changes in vain.

The Liverpool management hoped for the genius of Jurgen Klopp, who once again had to spend the season with a decrepit and aging midfield, with dozens of injured players and almost no quality signings. But no, even the German coach clearly “floated”, and the former Arsenal player Paul Merson described his condition better than anyone else:

“I first saw Klopp in such a state, as if… I don’t like the word ‘lost’. He is not lost. But I don’t think he knows what to do next,” Merson told Sky Sports after the Wolves game.

Yes, Klopp tries to pretend he’s not “lost”, but he’s clearly devastated. If he was excited before in some important episode of the game, now he just puffs up his cheeks, as if he himself does not know what is happening with his team.

Liverpool’s failure is a natural result of Liverpool’s approach, and it so happened that all the details of the mechanism at one time failed at this time, so that all the previously known vulnerabilities of the club were exposed to the maximum. Even in winter, instead of urgently fixing the situation and buying the right players, the management just signed Kodi Gakpo. On the other hand, it is possible that the club is trying to play for a long time, because it is already clear that the season cannot be saved, and that is why the main changes have been saved for the summer, when many things can change. especially due to Liverpool’s lack of access to the Champions League. You can’t blame Klopp for the losses and the disastrous season, but he certainly doesn’t deserve the resignation that some fans have already started calling for. He just needs the time and resources to get the team back to greatness.
