No more untouchables at Liverpool, Klopp promises changes if they lose to Wolverhampton

Liverpool's season has been far from what Reds fans and Jürgen Klopp had hoped for. The German manager faces Wolves on Tuesday in the replay of the FA Cup Round 3 match.

The Reds, ninth in the Premier League and currently 10 points off the Champions League zone and 19 points behind leaders Arsenal, go into the game against Wolverhampton with the idea of reaching the next round of the FA Cup and remaining in contention for silverware in a season that has been far below expectations. Moreover, the primary aim is to put in a better performance than against Brighton & Hove Albion, something "not too difficult" after last Saturday's 3-0 defeat at the Amex Stadium, said Klopp himself.

Given the way things are going for Liverpool, it is clear to pundits that he erred in not signing a new midfielder in the summer transfer window to bolster a midfield in need of one. Against Brighton, it was evident again. It is obvious that Liverpool would need a signing in the January transfer window, but Klopp said it is out of the question for financial reasons. Mané's transfer is now being criticised given the way the Reds' season is going.

<strong>They play Wolverhampton in the FA Cup on Tuesday</strong>

Liverpool, who have already lost six games in this season's Premiership, leaving them out of the title race and 10 points off the Champions League, are facing the challenge of regaining their lost identity. It is lacking in its game. It has lost energy, intensity. Pressure. Key players like Alexander-Arnold have dropped in level. Mohamed Salah has 7 goals in the Premiership (to Erling Haaland's 21). He was knocked out of the Carabao Cup by Manchester City and must play a play-off against Julen Lopetegui's Wolves in the FA Cup on Tuesday. Two titles of which he is the reigning champion. In July 2022 they won the Community Shield against City (3-1).
