Jurgen Klopp insists he’s still a top manager despite a disastrous season.
But the German boss candidly admits if it was another manager in charge at Anfield, they’d be facing the sack. Thankfully, Klopp has huge credit in the bank and the full backing of the club’s Boston-based owners after four trophy-laden seasons.
So he’s in no danger despite Liverpool languishing 21 points behind leaders Arsenal and ten points off a top four place. But as he heads back to Brighton ’s Amex Stadium today in the FA Cup, Klopp accepts defending champions Liverpool must return to the high standards they’ve set.
