Jamie Carragher has told Liverpool to stick with Jurgen Klopp, despite the disappointing season the Reds have endured. Klopp's side are eighth in the Premier League table, well adrift of Arsenal and Manchester City at the top of the table, having challenged for - and won on one occasion - the title in the last four seasons.
Liverpool were thrashed 5-2 by Real Madrid in the Champions League on Tuesday night, leading to more question marks over the future of Klopp as manager. But Carragher, a Reds legend, believes the German is still the right man for the job.
And the Sky Sports and CBS Sports pundit thinks it is the players who are to blame, not the manager.

Talking to our friends at Mirror Football, Carragher said: "You're not going to get another Klopp and that's my thing, where do you get another Klopp for Liverpool?
"The first thing for me is you don't change the manager, you change the players."
The idea of 'you're not going to get another Jurgen Klopp' was similar to the one Carragher's Sky Sports colleague Gary Neville posed about Antonio Conte at Tottenham when Spurs were under fire.
Spurs are fourth in the table, but had been tipped to be one of the sides to be closest to challenging for the title before a ball was kicked. Neville said of Conte and Spurs: "I think both of them should shake hands, sign a two or three-year deal and get themselves right, because it feels in some ways they're wandering down the road aimlessly as if they're not mates.
"Why would they not be mates? Conte's got Tottenham into the Champions League, he's also been backed and given £200million to get the players he wants, I'm not sure why these dark clouds are appearing over Spurs. It's going really well at Tottenham, I'd say they're on track for where I thought they'd be.
"From Conte's point of view, what job is he going to get currently that is better than Tottenham Hotspur? They're in the Champions League and they've got the most unbelievable stadium in European football."
