Jurgen Klopp took over at Liverpool in 2015 and took the Premier League by storm, and the decline they're experiencing is surprising, according to Sky Sports.

Ominous signs for Klopp

Manchester City travel to Anfield this coming Sunday, and a win for Pep Guardiola would effectively end Liverpool's title aspirations. Hamann feels the end is near for Klopp, according to The Sun.

“At some stage, I think we will have that discussion about the manager, and I’m not sure how far we are off that."

Hamann, 49, made 283 appearances for the Reds, according to Transfermarkt, said playing 63 games last season may have affected his former side.

"This Liverpool team looks tired, they look pedestrian and they just look flat. I’m not sure where the spark is going to come from because they’ve won games in the past."
