Ex-Liverpool striker: Jurgen Klopp needs a time out after ‘disappointing’ defeat

“I’d like him to do business in the January window because there’s everything to play for”.

For one, the Reds, who then had eight more league titles to their name than their closest challengers, are no longer the most successful club in English football.

Well, although this particular transfer story may seem somewhat like a non-starter on the surface, there could in-fact be something truly meaningful behind the Reds’ reported interest in the former Brazilian global.

Ojo has though made 15 appearances so far, scoring three goals – which is enough to get the attention of the new manager at least. With a fit and firing Pato on board in 2015/16, Liverpool could well find themselves in much better shape indeed.

Roberto Firmino is yet to score or assist a goal for Liverpool. Klopp was not able to bring anyone onto the pitch for Benteke and the squad looked toothless for periods at Anfield.

Since Klopp’s arrival, Liverpool have lost both Joe Gomez and Danny Ings to anterior cruciate ligament injuries and, earlier this week, vice-captain James Milner withdrew from worldwide duty after picking up a hamstring problem.

Liverpool appear to be a side that neither excels in defence nor attack, and while that does not rule out a possible resurgence this season, Klopp has a lot of work to do.

Klopp’s compatriot Marc-André ter Stegen is thought to be a target for the former Dortmund boss, according to Spanish publication Fichajes. Players set to return from injury in time for the dawn of another year. Let us know your thoughts and opinions below!
