This season has been disappointing for Liverpool as the team is out of all competition and will be trophyless this season. On top of that, their UEFA Champions League participation also looks in danger as the club is currently 6th in the table, 7 points behind Tottenham Hotspurs.
Manager Jurgen Klopp has not seen this kind of results for a long time in his Liverpool career. The German manager won two domestic trophies last season and also guided his team to play in the UCL finals, which they lost against Real Madrid. However, this season they are just a shadow of themselves from previous seasons.
Jurgen Klopp has been at Liverpool since 2015 and this is his 7th season at the club. Notably, the manager only lasted 7 seasons in both of his previous jobs at Mainz 05 and Borussia Dortmund. The year 2023 has not been a great year so far Klopp as his team has already lost 5 games this season out of 10 played. When compared with last season, his team only lost 4 in 35 played, which sums up the story.

Despite the results, the German manager is expected to continue this season. His contract with Liverpool is till 2026 and with the kind of success he has brought at the club, sacking will be even in talks based on 1 season performance.
Liverpool’s next fixtures
Liverpool’s road ahead are not easy as they’ll face Chelsea and Arsenal next in the League. Moreover, if Klopp fails to win those games, the UCL spot will surely be gone out of the hands and some fans might ask for a sack.
If that happens, another German manager Julian Naglesmann might be considered for the role.
