A Liverpool fan wants Jurgen Klopp to be sacked after making 'a number of mistakes'

He's only taken charge of a single Premier League game this season, but one Liverpool fan believes it's time for Jurgen Klopp to leave.

Paul, who called talkSPORT after Liverpool recorded a 1-1 draw against Chelsea on Sunday, believes the German manager has made "a number of mistakes" in recent weeks.

He criticised the club's decision to sell Jordan Henderson, who joined Saudi Pro League side Al Ettifaq last month, before calling out captain Virgil van Dijk for his so-called lack of leadership.

Then, after claiming Klopp "messed up" in their pursuit of Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia – two players that could still join Liverpool – Paul said the manager will be gone by Christmas.

You can watch the full call below.

After starting the call by saying Jurgen Klopp was on "borrowed time", Paul continued: "I think he's got to go. I think the grace you just talked about was in view of winning the Champions League and the Premier League. But how long can that go on? I mean, how long do you give a manager grace?

"I think he's now going to be found out very quickly."

Paul, who questioned Klopp's immediate future throughout the call with talkSPORT, went on to say that he "felt sorry" for Chelsea after their performance in the second-half before criticising Liverpool defenders Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold.

"Klopp has made a number of mistakes here," he added. "We can't get away from them. He shouldn't have let Henderson go so quickly. They needed a leader there. Van Dijk's not a leader. The way I see it, he has no leadership qualities whatsoever. He's just laid back.

"It also appears he's messed up on [Moises] Caicedo and he appears to have messed up on [Romeo] Lavia as well. They need five new players. As I say, Van Dijk is not a leader Trent is rubbish, quite frankly. They need a proper defender and they don't have a real striker either.

"Mac Allister was okay. But in my opinion, Klopp will be gone by Christmas."

Luis Diaz opened the scoring for Liverpool after a perfectly-weighted through ball from Mo Salah, who looked dangerous in spells. But with 37 minutes played, Chelsea new boy Axel Disasi equalised for the Blues on his Premier League debut.
