But seriously, I think that was the beginning of the end for Klopp now. Or maybe said differently, the end of the end. The beginning of the end is their performance in the Premier League. Now losing 2:5 in a home game after a lead with two goals, I am shocked and Klopp is probably, too.
Everyone associated with Liverpool is shocked, you don't lose in that way in front of your home crowd, because at the end of the day it wouldn't be the defeat (or imminent elimination) that matters, but how possible (and quickly) can you pick yourselves up and get ready for the busy schedule ahead, with games set to start coming thick and fast. I don't know for how long before we start seeing agitations for Klopp to be fired, i know he has given Liverpool quite a lot to cheer for in recent years, but the performances this season is unacceptable and i'm pretty sure sooner or later the board would make that unequivocally known to him.
Having this type of result shouldn't cause Klopp to be fired, that is really not the solution to it. First of all, a few of these goals were pure luck based, they just had very unlucky game, sure their own second goal was luck too and Salah was there to score it, but at the end of the day Klopp is the one that took them to this level anyway.
If we are disappointed by Liverpool losing this badly, that is because Klopp made them into a good team, if he wasn't there, Liverpool may not be even in this level, could be a team like Spurs at most, and that is why it's quite important to remember that Klopp is owed so much for the club and should be given another season.
The discussion surrounding Klopp to be fired is not about this single game against Real Madrid. Liverpool is 8th in the Premier League, they are out of the FA Cup and they are essentially out of the Champions League. Liverpool makes childish mistakes at times. They have no comeback quality these days. They throw away significant leads during the games. They tie and lose against teams from the bottom of the table. This doesn't sound all that good and please consider that I am a fan of Jurgen Klopp. I have been for a very long time, but sometimes there is just nothing a coach can give to a club anymore. This result of 2:5 in a home game is not like it was close and unlucky. Liverpool also got one goal for free when Courtois failed so hard. And when you then still can't benefit from that, it is a bad sign if you ask me. I would give him a couple of weeks to see what is possible and firing him during the season probably doesn't make sense anyway.
