Jurgen Klopp's side lost 1-0 to Brighton which leaves them seven points adrift of Premier League leaders Manchester City.

And fans on social media - mainly Man United supporters - think that's the end of the road for the German boss as they got #KloppOut trending on Twitter.

But it's not the first time Klopp's position has been questioned with a Liverpool fan claiming he has taken the club as far as he can.

The Reds looked to have returned to their best when they recorded back-to-back away wins against Tottenham and West Ham.

Though their latest setback is another dent in their title hopes with Klopp citing mental and physical tiredness.

Speaking after the game, he said: "It has been a really tough week with two away games, two very intense games.

"We looked really like we weren't fresh enough, mentally and physically.

"There were a lot of moments where we gave the ball away too easily, in moments the boys looked tired mentally. I know they can pass the ball from A to B but it didn't happen. We made it easy for Brighton, but they also did really well.

"Brighton deserved to win, no doubt about it. For me, it's more important to find an explanation for why we lost this game and understand what happened here tonight. We didn't look convincing."

The defending English champions resume their league campaign at home to Man City on Sunday.
