patience from the club's optimistic supporters following
Jurgen Klopp's appointment as coach.
Liverpool will not immediately become contenders for the
Premier League title after announcing Jurgen Klopp as their new
coach, says former midfielder John Barnes.
The German was presented as Brendan Rodgers' replacement
on Friday with the club currently 10th in England's top flight.
And while Barnes is sure Klopp is the right man for the job, he
has called for supporters to remain realistic about their
expectations as they still lack the quality of the Premier
League's top clubs.
"He is the best man for stabilising Liverpool and maximising
their potential," Barnes is quoted as saying by The Daily Mirror.
"Is Liverpool's potential good enough to win the league? I don't
think so.
"We still need better players and I think one of the reasons he
has been brought in is because of his knowledge of good, young
German players.
"But he has to be given time because if you look at the players
we have...we do not have better players than at Arsenal,
Chelsea, Man [Manchester] City and [Manchester] United, so
why should we finish higher than them?
"The fans have to understand that. So if everything remains
positive, even if we don't win the league in the first year or
second year, we have to keep the faith and know there is no
better manager than Klopp."
