Jurgen Klopp has been warned by Jason Cundy that he is not indispensable and that he could end up paying the ultimate price if Liverpool's fortunes don't improve.
The Reds have made a surprisingly lacklustre start to the new Premier League campaign, and Klopp has already conceded that Sunday's 3-2 defeat against Arsenal - who are now 14 points ahead of his side - was terminal in terms of the club's title hopes.
Liverpool's alarming drop-off in form comes just months after they came agonisingly close to clinching an unprecedented quadruple under Klopp last year. But the German has been warned that the heroics of last season - and the accolades he has already chalked up during his Anfield tenure - may not be enough to save him unless results significantly improve.
