Richard Keys has claimed Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool exit announcement has done more harm than good to the Reds' trophy charge.

Klopp, who moved to Anfield in 2015, revealed in January that this season would be his last at the helm.

His team claimed Carabao Cup glory the following month, but have since been eliminated from the FA Cup and Europa League.

Liverpool still have a chance to reel in Manchester City and end the season as Premier League champions.

Klopp's team topped the table at the end of March, but now sit third - two points behind the reigning champions - after claiming just one point from games against Manchester United and Crystal Palace.

Thursday night saw the Reds win 1-0 away to Atalanta but still suffer a European exit thanks to their defeat at home to the Serie A side.

"Yes it was the announcement that gave us injuries to Alisson, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Diogo Jota and Mohamed Salah," wrote one, while another said "The players he’s had fit are knackered and players coming back aren’t match fit and are rusty".
