Reasons to believe Jürgen Klopp could be sacked from Liverpool

Just a few days ago, the possibility of Jürgen Klopp being sacked was practically madness for the Betfair market, which claimed that, that the German would be the next Premier League sacked, was quoted at odds of 26.0. Liverpool hosted the always difficult Leeds United on Saturday, with Jesse Marsch's side claiming a dramatic 2-1 win, with goals from Mohamed Salah for the home side, while Rodrigo Moreno and Crysencio Summerville scored for the visitors.

That figure has plummeted in recent days, especially in the wake of the painful defeat at Anfield to Leeds United. The Whites took the win in the final minutes and, on the one hand, saved Jesse Marsch's head and, on the other, got Klopp into trouble. After the game, Jürgen Klopp said of his side's performance: "It was a good start to the game, I liked it, we played the way we should have played, with a lot of energy, and then we conceded a strange early goal, almost an own goal. It didn't help, for sure it didn't, but we were able to equalise from set pieces and then a normal first half, I would say, with moments, good moments, where we were a bit unlucky, we put them under pressure, we had a lot of play."

Liverpool's worst performers against Leeds United

Marsch was the top candidate to go out, and is now odds-on at 4.33 to be the next man to be sacked in the English league. He is only ahead of Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhuttl, who has had a couple of inconsistent seasons already and may be finished at St Mary's sooner rather than later.On the engagement, he said that "we had two great chances that we didn't take, which means the game is still open and then we conceded a second goal in a situation where you obviously can't defend it like that".

And Klopp, one of the league's untouchables, has moved up to third in Betfair's ranking of possible next sackings. The odds for him to be the next manager to go are 8.0, well down from 26.0 just a few days ago. "That's clear. We have a two-on-one situation in the box, but no challenge, I think for a second it's even a three-on-one, but nobody has a challenge, they pass the ball and they outnumber us, but in the end everybody all of a sudden it's two-on-one in the box and then the ball is in the goal and Leeds win the game," he asserted.

Klopp's worst moment at Liverpool 

The German manager's Liverpool side have righted the ship in the Champions League, where they comfortably beat Ajax Amsterdam this week, but in the Premier League they remain lost. They are ninth on 16 points, thirteen behind leaders Manchester City. Their objective is no longer to win the league, but simply to get into the Champions League places. Klopp is not a coach given to scarpers, but right now, after six years in charge, he is living his worst moment as Reds' manager.
