- Reds struggling for a spark
- Fingers of blame being pointed
- Coach under contract until 2026
The Reds have struggled with consistency in an unexpected manner this season, as evidenced by their ninth-place finish in the Premier League after 12 games with just 16 points. Despite the fact that Klopp’s team is now eight points behind the top four and 15 points behind league leaders Arsenal, club icon Barnes claims that no German coach should be held accountable.
Barnes has told BonusCodeBets: “Klopp’s the best man for any job. He’s the best manager for the best team in the world. They won’t find a better manager than him. You can’t let what’s happened in the last five or six last games or this season get in the way of that.”

Key players like Mohamed Salah haven’t been performing at their peak, which is part of Liverpool’s issue, but according to Barnes, the Reds must play their way back into form as a team. “Mo is reflective of how the team is playing,” he continued. Mo will play consistently well and score goals if Liverpool plays well.
He has a few goals to his credit, but he also reflects the team’s performance. Instead of Mo making the squad consistent, it’s more important that the team plays well overall. All of the players must maintain consistency for the squad to succeed.
The last time Liverpool lost two straight away league games was from February to April of 2012. (4). They have yet to pick up a victory in any of their five away league contests this year (D2 L3). The last time this happened was in 2006-2007.
The Reds will return to Premier League action on Sunday with a challenging trip to Tottenham after extending Klopp’s contract through 2026.
