Jamie Carragher says Liverpool's "shambolic" performances have taken Jurgen Klopp to his lowest point as manager - but that he will not walk away as he did at Dortmund.
Comparisons have been drawn between Klopp's final year in the Bundesliga in 2014/15 and Liverpool's ongoing issues this season, with his side experiencing a sharp and unexplained drop-off in form on both occasions
Liverpool are currently 10th in the Premier League table and under severe pressure ahead of the Merseyside derby on Monday Night Football, having failed to win any of their league games in 2023
Should they fail to win that game it will match Klopp's longest winless league run with the club since January 2017. Either way, Carragher told the Essential Football podcast Liverpool's season to date - including seven league defeats from 20 games - marked the worst point of his seven-year spell to date at Anfield.
He said: "It's never been as poor as this. It's not just the results, it's the performances. Liverpool haven't been unlucky, they've actually been lucky. The score lines could've been a lot worse in a lot of those games.
"That's the big worry for the fans. You understand your team, at times, won't be as consistent as the team has been under Klopp for the last three or four years, losing one or two games a season. You can't do that every year.
"But it's the performances and also a bit of a lack of fight, you have to say that, and that's not something you can throw at this team too easily. They've run so far, so long, so fast, and had so much quality in games over the last few years, but it's been a huge drop-off and you can't dress it up as anything else
