As poor as Liverpool have been this season, it would seemingly be lunacy beyond measure to sack the one person that has inspired a level of performance in Liverpool Football Club not witnessed in a very long time.
Still, Jurgen Klopp was asked if he felt any concern over the prospect of losing his job in response to a big defeat in Naples – the response being an unequivocal no, as relayed on Twitter by James Pearce.
Klopp asked if he's worried about getting the sack like Tuchel: "Not really, our owners are rather calm and expect me to sort the situation and not think someone else will."

It’s difficult to imagine FSG being too reactionary when it comes to the coach that won Liverpool their first league title in 30 years.
