UEFA Europa League: Liverpool 1-3 Sevilla - 5 Talking Points

#5 Jurgen Klopp has got some rebuilding to do

The fervor around Liverpool’s drive into the finals of the UEFA Europa League could have been blinding enough to make Jurgen Klopp think that Liverpool indeed are not that far off from the due quality that he will demand of them in the next season.

If that were the case, Jurgen Klopp must be seeing clearly now since Sevilla reminded Liverpool rather rudely that Liverpool may have quality but lack the final pegs and the raw mentality that makes champions.

Jurgen Klopp has to rebuild this team even if he doesn’t have to do it from scratch. He has to remove Alberto Moreno from the starting eleven and pull in a worthy competitor for big games at left back. He has to either, bring out the best in Coutinho regularly or consider using him as a luxury than a necessity.

He has to grow Emre Can up in terms of his maturity as a player in big games. Klopp also has to find him a due partner in midfield as James Milner has all the graft in the world but doesn’t possess the quality to hold a two-man pivot in place with a player like Emre Can alongside him.

He has to rebuild Liverpool’s defense centrally as well, considering the players lack that World Class touch. The good news is, he can do it peacefully without having to worry about a whole set of extra games as Liverpool do not go into any European Competition next season which isn’t as bad as it looks.
