Defiant Klopp Refuses To Quit Amid Liverpool Slump
Jurgen Klopp has refused to give up on Liverpool amid a worrying slump in form.
The Reds have dropped to ninth on the Premier League table after two disappointing losses to Brentford and Brighton and Hove Albion.
Liverpool will face Wolverhampton Wanderers in an FA Cup replay on Tuesday before taking on Chelsea in the Premier League this weekend.
Klopp has been in charge of the Reds since October 2015 and has won every available domestic honour as well as the UEFA Champions League, UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup.
The German accepts his players are underperforming but has refuted suggestions that he has stayed too loyal to some of his players.
"I heard I'm too loyal, but I am not too loyal. The problem is too complex. If you can then go out and bring in another player to replace him, then it makes sense," manager Klopp said at a press conference. "But if you cannot bring anyone in, you cannot take anyone out.
"I am not too loyal. At [Borussia] Dortmund, it was clear when I left [in 2015], I said 'something has to change here'. It is a different situation.
"Either the manager's position changes or a lot of other things change. So, as far as I am concerned unless someone tells me, I will not go.
"I will be here for as long as I am wanted. If no one tells me to go, I will not go. So that means maybe there is a point where we have to change other stuff. We will see that, but that is something for the future. Like summer or whatever. Not now.
"I have space and time to think about it, we have to play better football now."
