the drop off happened when the injured first team players came back in the team with no rhythm or sharpness ... should have stuck with the kids a bit longer

[@saaamyk]

THIS!

[@malikswapnil1980]

Yes, someone is making sense. Players were tired and whenever players return from injury there is no rhythm.

[@sharathreddy8160]

agreed, I kept wondering why the youngsters were not played the moment some player got back from injury. Can you really do well with Robbo, etc.? Plus they got scared in front of goal e.g. Nunez, Salah, Diaz.

[@AlanOleary-lb8wy]

Spot on ! They were FIVE points ahead at end of Feb ! Nothing to do with timing of announcement . Players haven’t performing end of ! It’s not rocket science 🥲

[@Andy-xp5sp]

Salah is an IMMORAL, SEFLISH, THUG, he is an average player, and all he cares about is getting the golden boots (up his), without caring about his team, he couldn't even help his country reach the last world cup, and his selfishness is the reason for Li-VAR-pool losing the last few years, his worshippers are going to disprove these facts for sure

[@MOONGREEDY]

Klopp had no choice anyway, when Liverpool would have started looking for managers to replace Klopp news would naturally leak out like all news does in modern sports which could have been more detrimental to the team than Klopp himself announcing his departure.

[@AceGunnerManEIR]

Some of these Liverpool players are average it's going to be hard for them to beat City and Arsenal. It's because of Klopp that they are actually doing so well. They are always chasing the game and come back due to sheer will. That's starts from Klopp

[@stephendonovan6773]

Lads, Liverpool's position at the top for long this season was a miracle. They scraped through games and got lucky with results with a depleted, aging and injured squad. Relying on the youngsters to get us through. Liverpool finished 5th last season without a trophy. We'll finish 3rd this season with a League Cup, it's good progress. Lets move on.

[@alexischristou3266]

The announcment of Klopp leaving has no relevance imo to what happened with Salah or with the team messing up the last few weeks. The Salah thing looks like Jurgen was annoyed with Salah not getting ready quickly enough to be subbed in and or Salah getting annoyed for not starting made him react the way he did. To be blunt he didnt deserve to start as hes been sub par the last several games. The result against United hurt the confidence of the squad and the Palace result killed any challenge for the title, its really that simple.

[@denvernadar723]

Martin seems the only one that has some common sense. Everyone is looking to sensationalized things... Salah was acting like a baby...

I agree he's living ime the super mega star of the team , he thinks he has a devine right to be in the starting eleven and he hasnt.

Whoever thought Liverpool would be in the title race was mistaken, I always thought top 4 was the target due to the amount of new players plus injuries occurred, so me personally see 3rd place as very good considering the new 4/5 new players

[@miguelsoto1835]

Liverpool were consistent throughout the season, but the media hyped them up to be the same squad that faced Real Madrid in the CL final. They’re nowhere near that, the media placed the expectation, and created the story of “Klopp’s Farewell Tour”. Arsenal and City have played better this season, and realistically it’s no surprise that Liverpool have failed at the tail-end of the season. The only one’s surprised are the media themselves, the club’s supporters, and the casual fans that don’t know “ball”.

[@Jabba-le-feminist-hating-Hutt]

I actually think they are better than that team, this team would have been more likely to win that game but not necessarily win

Regardless of where Liverpool finish in the league, klopp done the right thing in telling the club and fans he was leaving. It was the gentlemanly thing to do so the club and fans could prepare for the future. If the players aren't keeping their levels to where everyone knows they can be, thats not klopps fault.

Liverpool has done amazing this year. They’re still rebuilding that team their third in the Premier League. they’re going to be in Champions League football next year that’s a good season. People need to be realistic. Get some new players in next year. Strengthen the team. They will be a lot better.

[@robbiegallagher7821]

Why can’t these footballers simply comply with the logic of the respective job descriptions of manager and player? The Manager decides when a player is to come off the pitch and who replaces him/her. The players do not make the decision concerning the timing of their entering or exiting the field of play. Is this not stipulated in their contracts?

[@strongboy7289]

The pressure with being 1st or second with so many games to go and players getting injured disrupted the season. So many games and rotations helped blood the youngsters but Mo seems to have his nose out of joint feeling like he's not the main man. If he's not performing then he shouldn't be surprised if he's on the bench similar to what happened with Nunez.

[@lee84]

Not sure what Jim is trying to get at with all this, we didn’t collapse because of Klopps announcement, we collapsed because our squad isn’t good enough and have run out of legs 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

No way Salah stays, i've defended him in recent times, saying that his game is evolving, he cant score as many goals but he's an intelligent player who picks out amazing passes, well he cant do that anymore very well... at least his recent form, first touches, passing and shots have been terrible. No doubt he leaves in the summer.

[@southernman523]

Klop did nothing to stop Liverpool leaking goals like a sieve. Van dijk and konate have been a disaster in defense but klop only made changes in attack.

[@tenbasker]

When Salah said "If I speak there will be fire" he was referring to the media and how they would make a mountain from a molehill I think when WHU score their 2nd Salah might have uttered something negative which Klopp responded to by offering Salah his seat on the bench if he didn't want to go on and fight for a result.

[@dilan4123]

That United game in the cup really upset the rhythm of the players… not been quite the same especially when it comes to being ruthless in front of goal. The league game at OT then compounded things and that’s the result I have said for a while that ended our title challenge. Not the last three games are just about trying to at least get back to some form of Klopp team in terms of energy and desire as this has been lacking massively recently

[@markstronach6546]

End of the day liverpool are not as good as city and arsenal. Sports journalists saying they're going for the a quadruple in January is laughable 😂 now its all klopp fault for saying he's leaving 🙄

[@markwhiting4322]

The downturn was from the Man.Utd game which they should have won, as for stating that he was leaving so soon for me would have been a motivation to win everything, Salah pissed he didn't start and should have played sooner, also he signed his contract on the believe Klopp was staying..........

Hogwash. Liverpool poor form started 3/4 weeks ago and mostly because of poor finishing. Mo/Klopp bust is one of those things. Mo's form has been poor and Many Liverpool supporters were saying that he should be dropped. Clop did the right thing. Mo feels really upset which is understandable. It happens. Every Liverpool supporter is disappointed but that's it. Mo is a legend, Klopp is a super legend. Nothing thereafter matters.

[@simonoliver8576]

well for me I hate to say it the fa cup defeat at old trafford played a massive part in the season unravelling for us imo🤔 I disagree that klopp saying he is leaving when he did is much of a factor personally like I said performances since that fa cup defeat aint been good enough we just aint been the same team since that match imo its that simple 🤔 I also agree with martin o neill re the klopp salah incident it aint the first time there has been a spat between player and manager it has happened before and it will happen again it will soon be forgotten about imo anyway🤔

[@totsh2056]

You're right. It's all being blown a bit out of proportion. That's the game when the players began to doubt how good they are. There was a ruthlessness about Liverpool's attack earlier in the season, where it seemed they really did not need to create that many chances in a game to score. But some of the goals they were scoring were absolute worldies, and you can't really do that week in week out. Also their habit of finding themselves always behind in games takes its toll physically and emotionally over the cause of a season. I didn't believe it when people said it the time, but it really makes sense now.

[@JCTY299]

There is a reason for Salah run of bad form. I think it is because of the inverted fullback thing for Gomez (not a midfielder at all) and TAA. When we are attacking, they become midfielders. This leaves Salah isolated on the right without any potential overlapping runs or support from the right back. That means that the defenders usually reserved for marking the right back now don’t have to. And so multiple defenders can now concentrate on Salah…which makes his dribbling task impossible. I don’t understand it. Unlike last season, we are already packed in midfield with Mac Allister, Szoboslai and Endo….why is there a need for TAA to go there also to disturb? This leaves Salah isolated and rendering our right side almost useless. I think that is why Salah is angry about the last several weeks. And took it out on Klopp. When TAA was injured, Bradley played a straight up right back….so Salah had support on the right.

[@robertanthonynolan9697]

all the missed chances are what cost us not announcement

[@ashtonndlovu9470]

As a man united fan I could not believe my luck, we should have been battered 😬

Salah should have come on with confidence knowing he can change the game! That’s what you are paid for!

[@CraigHepburn-wi6yu]

Salah will divide the change room! He must go! He is not bigger than the club or the supporters!

[@adelfarag4127]

If you watched the entire incident from beginning to end you wouldn’t be upset with Mo , on the contrary you would’ve felt sorry for him because it looks like Klopp wanted to take his frustration on Mo and he didn’t want to get on the pitch with the last thing he had to hear is negativity from his manger but it seems like Klopp won this battle and manged to break MO’s cool by getting into his head with nonsense!!

[@faster6329]

I wish Klopp had listen to my advice to buy Ronaldo back in January last season. With the amount of great chances Liverpool creates, Ronaldo would have easily scored 40 to 50 goals every season for Liverpool and guaranteed another PL and CL trophy. But he didn't and you see Darwin and Mo missing tones of great chances all the time. SAD.

[@roywilkinson2078]

LFC fan. I never thought we would be seriously competing to win the league title this season. We are rebuilding. I expected a strong top four finish. Maybe a cup. Maybe hovering around top or second for a while early on or mid season. All the talk of a quadruple was utter b*ll*cks from the media. Teams are always going to say they are trying to win everything but that's just their positive thinking. So a cup and a top four finish is fine by me. Klopp has been great but everything comes to an end. New season, new manager, some player changes, on we go. Don't see what the fuss is all about.

[@adelfarag4127]

Too much drama over nothing. Salah didn’t do anything wrong and it looks like Klopp was hopeing for a hug and a kiss goodbye and Salah was in hurry to get in to save his ass in the last 10 minutes of the game!!

[@adelfarag4127]

The problem with some of LFC’s fans simply is they don’t give Mo the love and respect he deserves. They praise him from one side of their mouth and curse him out in the same breath. 7 season with nothing but hard work and trophies. Sadly to say he loves Liverpool FC and that’s his weakness and fault because he could’ve jumped ship like the rest and took the easy money, but no not him not Mo and for that reason he should leave us LFC and when he finally leaves we all will know how much we didn’t appreciate him for what he does. Start looking for a replacement averaging 40 plus goals a year if you can and when you do you won’t be able to afford him anyhow!!!

What a load of tosh. I don’t believe for one minute that you don’t know pretty much every word that passed between Klopp and Salah. As a veteran amateur player I would wager that as any player would not want to be sub and would want to get on the pitch and get involved. However, ten minutes to go the player is pissed and thinks what’s the point now. The manager decides to play him and he steps up. He is a pro. Then the manager says something like,”I want you to do this or do that. Win us the game.” Salah probably said, “ Are you having a laff. What do you expect in 10 mins” Then there is the Klopp leaving tosh. Do you know why we were not in the champions league this season ? Because in a different season when they were looking good for four trophies they ran out of steam and did not qualify. I’ll tell you why. Players playing too many games, too many tournaments. In Klopp’s case his high intensity press and counter press requires high intensity training. The style of play is high energy. They go all out in all competitions. Players go off to international tournaments. They are burnt out. It’s not because of broken hearts.
