Liverpool may have endured a dismal start to their Premier League campaign, but a resurfaced interview with Steven Gerrard suggests manager Jurgen Klopp is under no threat of losing his position.
The Reds are in the midst of their worst league start since the German arrived in 2015, with consecutive defats to Nottingham Forest and Leeds United leaving them ninth, with four wins, four draw and four defeats from 12 games - a record that mirrors Roy Hodgson's disastrous tenure. Form elsewhere leaves Klopp and his side 15 points off Arsenal at the top and eight short of fourth-placed Newcastle United, with an uphill task to fight for Champions League qualification after the World Cup.
Such form has led to quiet whispers - rarely from actual Liverpool fans, it must be said - that the Reds boss, into his seventh year in charge at Anfield, could be set to move on. A year ago, many around Merseyside would have seen Gerrard as the natural successor, with the former club captain enjoying life in management while taking Rangers to the Scottish Premier League title.
