THIS IS NO TIME FOR LIVERPOOL TO PANIC
IT IS always damaging when Liverpool lose to Manchester United. It is a result that hurts. Yes, it was a bad performance but this is no time to panic.
Brendan Rodgers is under pressure and there are problems in that team. They are fragile at the back and I still feel they lack a creative central midfielder. But Rodgers has to be the man to try and solve those issues.
There is no sense in sacking a manager so soon in a season. Jurgen Klopp is the elephant in the room but Liverpool backed Rodgers this summer. Now they have to stand by that decision.
Big money was spent in the transfer window and the new players deserve time to settle. If results don’t improve then maybe it will be time for a conversation. But right now this team must start playing again.
Sometimes I think people get too easily carried away with Liverpool. The club has fantastic history but they have only made the Champions League once in the past six years (see below). Maintaining a topfour place has to be the current aim.
