Jurgen Klopp responds to ‘sacking’ question with FSG point
Jurgen Klopp says he does not fear the sack after Liverpool kicked off their Champions League campaign with a 4-1 loss at Napoli.
On the day that Chelsea relieved Thomas Tuchel of his duties at Stamford Bridge, Klopp was asked if he is worried about a similar fate after a demoralising defeat in Naples that saw the hosts go 4-0 up before Luis Diaz scored a scant consolation.
It continued a disappointing run of form so far this term which has seen last season’s domestic cup double winners pick up just two victories from their seven games across all competitions.

Klopp, though, dismissed concerns for his own future and suggested the club’s owners, Fenway Sports Group, are a lot more measured than Chelsea’s own American proprietor Todd Boehly, who dispensed with Tuchel just days after completing a spend of over £270m in the transfer window.
You don’t think a lot after games, you react more but I said we need to reinvent ourselves because the basic things aren’t there. It’s a tough time for us, there is no doubt about that. If you’re not playing exceptionally well you can still defend on a top level.

It’s not that we need to invent a new kind of football but everyone would be happy if we can play similar stuff that we used to do. It was the least compact I’ve seen us for a long, long time. Napoli were good but we made it easier for them.”
