Steve Nicol: Jurgen Klopp could be sacked next season
Despite guiding the Reds to Champions League football last year and qualifying for the group stages at the start of the season, Jurgen Klopp is still yet to win a trophy on Merseyside.
Klopp’s attacking style of play has not always received the praise it deserves with Liverpool now becoming known as a side who will constantly concede sloppy goals.
The German has also been criticised for his failure to strengthen his backline in the summer - a decision that’s now costing his team points.
But Liverpool legend Dalglish supports Klopp’s tactics and feels the supporters would rather win entertaining 3-2 matches than settle for narrow 1-0 victories.
“It’s really exciting, but it’s not good for your ticker!” Dalglish told the Daily Mail.

“We’ve got the best fella in charge. He’s perfect for the club and the club are perfect for him.
“We appointed the manager because of the way he is. We’d rather score three and concede two than score one and win 1-0.
“His philosophy is attacking football and that’s what you get. If that’s who you’ve employed, that’s who you want. I think it suits the people of Liverpool.”
Klopp is well known for his passion and energy on the touchline with many of his players praising his man-management skills.
And Dalglish, who is enjoying watching the 50-year-old from the stands, believes success will come to Anfield if the players stick with him.

“He certainly knows how to get the best out of the players,” he added.
“Defensively every team goes through a spell of losing goals and they can’t put their finger on why; an unlucky bounce of the ball here or there. I don’t think it’ll continue.
“I’ve no problem whatsoever with the manager on the touchline. It’s enthusiastic, standing by the players and supporting them.
“I’ve enjoyed watching him since he came in. He’s done fantastically well, brought belief back in every area of the club and I’m sure he’ll continue to do that and that belief will grow.
