Plenty of Liverpool fans are still 100% behind him.
Some investment in the Summer, and an acknowledgement that this was a transitional season, and they'll be alright.

How is klopp at fault when he is not getting the resources to replace his midfield and if players are burned out from last season?

Yeah I don't think Klopp being sacked is anywhere close to the right decision. He's had shit luck this season with injuries but I fully expect them to be top 4 next season should they get good players in the summer. Chelsea sacked Tuchel after a rough patch and I really don't think that was the right decision for them at all

So the £30 million on Gakpo to play him as a striker over Nunez the £90 million striker they didn't need either, in which they could have used that £120 million to fund some midfielders? I don't know how is it NOT Klopp's fault?

He also continues to pick the same midfield who loses every game week in week out as well, benching the likes of Henderson and Fabinho, so i think Klopp has stuff to answer for here.

Yes he does, 100% that is like saying Pep has no say on City transfers. Even forgetting that, the two people who were the chief scouts/director of football have all left in October/November.

I know you dont know much about how things are being run but Liverpool is not City and Pep has way more say in what players are let go and bought than Klopp. Klopp has criticised more times than not that hes not getting support. I have never seen Pep say hes not getting what he wants

They are the same, it was Klopps team he had in place upstairs, they all left in October/November or before i forget, who do you think is getting players? Think Klopp doesn't sign off of them or tell the club the targets?

How you think Klopp has no say in that club is baffling

A quick google backs that up, with an article when he joined saying he had final say on transfers

I'm a Liverpool fan. He's being extraordinarily stubborn. We are conceding inside the first 10 minutes literally every single game and in almost identical fashion. Nearly every attack is going down the same side, Alexander Arnold's side. It's a glaring weakness that Klopp does not want to admit. In the past, Henderson or Fabinho covered Trent, but they are out form/exhausted.

The forwards being out of form happens, I don't think you can blame Klopp for that. Even Sadio Mane leaving was covered in advance by the Diaz and Jota signings, but then they both got injured. The signing of Gakpo though was not the answer. Diaz, Jota, Nunez, Firmino, Salah, Elliott, Carvalho and Oxlade-Chamberlain had the front 3 covered, even with injuries.

I'm not saying Klopp needs to go, but he needs to stop being so pig-headed and accept that his favourites aren't doing the job right now, especially AA. Trent needs dropping ASAP, this is a tough call that simply has to be made. Surely someone in the extended squad other then Milner can deputise at right back, though Milner is still a preferred option to Trent right now. Firmino was in incredible form prior to the world cup and has barely featured since, which is ridiculous. And we urgently need a midfield refresh at the end of the season.

EDIT: and Klopp had everything to do with the Nunez transfer. Not as convinced on Gakpo

EDIT EDIT: and the other possibility is finally moving AA into the midfield where he belongs

What about back 3? Imagine Trent as a wingback, less defending needed, more cover and he can play way further forward. That with Robertson the same way on the otherside, crazy potential, helps sure up the defensive line too.

However, back 3's are going out of fashion now with the emphasis on midfield being so strong in this era of football, especially with all the attacking talent they have, would be forced to drop a midfielder/forward player. Would be a short term fix for a long term problem.

The midfield is weak enough without reducing it to a 2 man.

Imo the first thing that's needed is to have someone who can and more importantly WILL actually attempt to defend at right back rather than standing where Salah should be and leaving the two centre backs to cover an enormous section of the pitch with a high line.

Bring Firmino back in and play him in his usual spot, with Nunez on the left and Salah on the right. This can help get the press back to somewhat normal. Put literally anyone other than Trent at right back, Milner or Gomez or Tsimikas or Kelleher even. Drop Trent or put him in the midfield 3.

Yeah the biggest need for Liverpool is Bellingham, as is with a lot of clubs, even though Bellingham idolizes Gerrard, will he go there without champs league football / Liverpool able to afford him.

He will be way more money than Enzo was for example.

I think Alexander-Arnold is being scape-goated a little for Liverpool's defensive problems. Look at Wolves' goals yesterday. Their 1st and 3rd came down their left. The 2nd was a set-piece with awful defending everywhere. (I don't know where Gomez is for that first goal but the ball is chipped into the space he vacated, and for the third goal Thiago doesn't track back with Neves.)

That is 4 games is it now? Man City have not scored or won at Spurs new stadium, thats wild, even now there is an excuse as Man City look utterly bang average, even with Haaland up front, let alone the huge gaps and holes in their defending.

Looks like there really is NO competition for Arsenal in this league this year. Liverpool and Chelsea battling for Europa conference league, Newcastle not good enough yet, Man Utd not good enough yet and City are just not even bothering lol
