da apostaganha: Liverpool legend Graeme Souness has claimed that it will take at least two years before the club have a shot at winning the Premier League title
da dobrowin: Souness spent six successful years with the Reds from 1978-1984, also coming back as the manager in 1991 until 1994.
However, the former Blackburn boss does not believe that Liverpool have the capability to win the top prize in English football at the moment, stating that they should spend funds on world class players in order to make any progress.
Souness, as quoted by The Mirror, said: “It will take at least three or four transfer windows just to improve things.
“There’s not many clubs where you will get the luxury of getting time and understanding to get things right.
“Klopp has got a huge job on his hands, possibly bigger than he first thought when he took over.
“But the truth is that you don’t get a job like Liverpool, a really top job, is things are going well and at the moment they are a long way off.”
The Scot also added that despite all of Klopp’s abilities, the German has been given a ‘weak’ team and that the former Dortmund gaffer needs to be a miracle worker to have any chances of propelling the club into the Champions League qualification or the title race.
He added: “The biggest problem that Klopp has is that he does not know which team is going to turn up from one game to the next.
“I’m not sure whether the manager knows what sort of performance he will get whenever the team goes out on the pitch to play. They really are that unpredictable.
“They do not have any free-scoring midfielders, they are defensively very weak and that’s an extremely dangerous combination. Make no mistake about that.
“That’s why you are seeing Liverpool concede bad goals and you can’t expect to win games playing like that.
“It’s no wonder that Jurgen Klopp is frustrated. He is losing games, conceding goals and the defending is shocking.”
The Reds do, however, have an opportunity to win the Capital One Cup after beating Stoke 1-0 in the semi-final at the Britannia Stadium ahead of the second leg at Anfield this evening.
