" A pundit has criticized Jurgen Klopp for some of his decisions this season and believes that Liverpool will fire the manager because they are in "decline."
It has been a slow start for Liverpool, who have won just two of their first seven Premier League games. They have only scored 10 points thus far, so they still have a long way to go to catch Arsenal and Manchester City.
Fitness issues may have contributed to their difficult start. Due to injuries, Klopp has had to select teams with weaker midfields.
Even worse, Klopp has revealed that Arthur Melo, a new midfield signing, is recuperating from a muscle problem.
Klopp stated in a press conference in advance of this weekend's match against Arsenal: "Arthur has sustained a new injury." In a normal situation, he would have just injured a muscle during the final session before the Rangers game.
He is out, but we must wait for a further evaluation to know precisely how long. Curtis [Jones] is currently the closest, followed by Robbo [Andy Robertson] and the others, one step at a time.
Although injuries have contributed significantly to Liverpool's disappointing season, they are not the only factor. A number of players have underperformed, and Klopp has also selected some odd players.
Gabby Agbonlahor, a former forward for Aston Villa, believes that Klopp has made too many incorrect calls this season. As a result, he will ultimately be fired, and Liverpool's chances of winning the League are already "gone."
Agbonlahor stated in an interview with Football Insider that he is concerned about Jurgen Klopp's future. "Jurgen Klopp was at Dortmund for seven years, and in the seventh year, it was poor."
He has been with Liverpool for seven years. He has a track record of having six years before failing.
The title race is over, and this Liverpool team is in serious danger of not finishing in the top four. In my opinion, some of his choices have been poor. Fabio Carvalho will start against Brighton. He is a good prospect, but you should start your best team and drop players.
"They are not flying RyanAir; they are on private jets with beds on them. It does not matter if they have been on international duty or if they have been on a plane from South America.
I do not wish to hear, "I did not start [Darwin] Nunez because of this, and I did not start [Luis] Diaz because of the international break." That is utter nonsense.
He did that, and you shouldn't underestimate some Premier League teams. For me, they would have won the game against Brighton if he had started Diaz.
A portion of his decision-making as well. I adore James Milner, but you're replacing [Kostas] Tsimikas with him. He traded Jordan Henderson for Harvey Elliott because he was putting up some great shots.
I believe that some of his decisions are wrong, and Klopp may have a problem. I think Liverpool is getting worse. It is visible to everyone. They are no longer feared by teams.
We discuss the atmosphere at Anfield, which does not appear to be the same. There must be something wrong there. Agbonlahor says that Liverpool spent too much money: "This is what happens when you don't buy players in the position you really need." Would it have been better to spend Nunez's money on a midfielder? They have a weak midfield, Fabinho is unable to run, and Thiago is a decent player who is unable to run. This season, their midfield is going to cost them.
The new season has certainly been challenging for Liverpool. However, Agbonlahor goes a little too far in implying that Klopp will soon be fired.
Given what he has contributed to Liverpool's success over the past few years, the German has a lot of money in the bank.
Additionally, given that he is still awaiting the return of injured players, Liverpool management will not rush into making a decision regarding his future. In April, Klopp signed a new contract with Liverpool that should keep him at Anfield until 2026. Because he already possesses legendary status among the Reds, he has the potential to turn things around this season and may therefore play out the entirety of his contract with Liverpool.
