Former Liverpool midfielder Gary McAllister has insisted Jurgen Klopp is the man to turn things around at the club.
After a strong start to the campaign, the Reds finished 2016 sitting second in the Premier League table, six points behind leaders Chelsea and competing in both domestic cup competitions.
However, a disastrous start to 2017 has seen them win just one game in ten in all competitions; a run that has also seen them knocked out of the FA Cup and the EFL cup.
A 2-0 loss away to Hull City on Saturday afternoon meant they dropped to fifth in the table and 13 points behind Antonio Conte’s team in the title race.
Questions are now being asked about Klopp and his team, with some debating if Liverpool should replace the German manager.
McAllister has moved to dispel such an idea, though, insisting that the current Reds boss is a proven winner and can turn things around.
“He is proven. A lot of managers come on and say they are winners. He is a winner he is a proven winner,” he told Sky Sports.
“He has worked at a big club, he has taken the title away from Bayern Munich when he was at Dortmund, so he knows his way around.
“I can’t tell Jurgen Klopp what to do. Chelsea at the start of the season, Man City – they have had their problems. We are in that little problematic period and we have got to get out the other end.
“It will be hard work and it will be loads of running and loads of biting and scratching to get points.”
