Farewell Klopp: Liverpool's rebuild starts with Jurgen Klopp's exit


The injuries, fatigue, tiredness, the lack of financial backing from management, loss of form suffered by players and so on. To justify Liverpool's current failure and the manager's inability to get the best out of the player, you could pick up a lot of excuses. 

Jurgen Klopp's fisting pumping parade has ended, now he begs for mercy over his team's catastrophic display which sadly has become a norm this season. How did it change, you can ask?

 Well, Sadio Mane has left. Most of Liverpool's games have been architected by a Senegalese. His aggressive press, fantastic dribbling skills, vision to pick out Mohamed Salah in good position and off course, his goal has alluded Liverpool this season. 

Without him drifting in and out of the left flank and most times centrally, it has subdued Andrew Robertson from going forward and putting in those crosses. Jurgen Klopp bears much of the blame for Mane's unfortunate departure.

Shamefully, the manager fought hard to improve Salah's $250,000 to $400,000-a-week but fought less to see Mane's wages increase from $90,000-a-week to $250,000-a-week. That lack of respect remains the major reason why Mane had to leave Liverpool. 

His departure have seen Liverpool pay over $180m on new recruits and yet nothing of them (Luis Diaz, Nunez Darwin and Gakpo) have been able to deliver. 


Sadly, Mane's exit isn't the only issue Liverpool have failed to deal with under Klopp. The manager has refused to sign a deep and ball playing midfielder to replace his injury prone midfielders like Naby Keita, Oxlade Chamberlian and others.  

Klopp has also refused to sign a right back to give Trent Alexander Arnold a proper fight for his position. 

Finally, Jurgen Klopp's regimented training sessions have seen half of the squad struggle with form and fitness issues. Van Dijk is injured, so is Jones, Henderson, Firmino 'should be sold', Arthur Melo, 'no practical reason why he was signed' and Luis Diaz are all out. 

 To conclude, Liverpool's going to be playing Real Madrid in the quarter finals of the UEFA Champions League with an almost unrecognizable team. The defending is porous, the midfield weak and attack very reliant on Mohamed Salah's erratic form and fitness. 

Jurgen Klopp's story is over, in the same way that all stories end. Thank you for everything and farewell on the path of management, Jurgen Klopp.

A Better Nigeria: What the Government must do to end food crises

What is wrong with Nigeria and its people? A sane question most people have asked for decades but little have figured out the problems. Those who have the amicable solution and well placed in positions to truly effect change are either been rigged out, threatened or even killed.   Tragic you would say, but there's more to the complex web of Nigeria's challenges and food crises is one of them which the incumbent president must deal with immediately.  Before taking over the mantle of leadership, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu made a series of promises and swiftly took action by removing fuel subsidy in his first day in office. Taking that action was bold and cold because no alternative was given.  The effect was an immediate increase in fuel which resulted in an increase in the cost of transportation of both perishable and imperishable goods. Businesses which where reliant on generators for power packed up while well established businesses were forced to retrench workers or pa...

4 Reasons Why Kylian Mbappe must join Liverpool rather than Real Madrid

For most players, Real Madrid and Barcelona are dream clubs to play for but they're also a lot of negatives that must be taken into account before making the move.  A typical example is Eden Hazard who is arguably the greatest player in Chelsea history and one of the best players in Premier League history. It was a very bad decision to switch from Chelsea to Real Madrid and the player has clearly admitted. Hazard retired at the age of 32.  Kylian Mbappe is without doubt a super player but, he needs to understand that Liverpool offers him a better chance to reach his full potential than Real Madrid and here are the reasons why: A. The Premier League is more competitive than La Liga and Liverpool is the best place for him - Apart from Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, most people don't even bother watching other Spanish teams in the La Liga except their competing in the Champions League, Europa League or the Conference League. Kylian Mbappe needs to join Liverpool a te...

One trick pony: How Manchester City star Erling Haaland can be stopped

When it comes to consistency of goals scored, no other striker delivers like Manchester City superstar Erling Haaland. The Norwegian's an extraordinary player, a poacher of goals that should be the model for future strikers.  The Norwegian star is currently the quickest player in Premier League history to score 50 league goals, shattering Andrew Cole's previous record by 17 games after scoring the opening goal in Manchester City's 1-1 draw with Liverpool.  His conversion rate is bone chilling and definitely worrisome for opposition coaches who always seems confused on what must be done to stop Haaland. Stopping the 23-year-old is hard but possible.  Fact; Haaland do not score goals outside the 18-yard box. Since joining Manchester City from Borrusia Dortmund, Haaland has only managed to shoot 10 times outside the box and scored just once.  Why? He is an instinctive goal poacher whose short burst opens up space for him to shoot accurately to goal. His biggest strength...
