SportFootballJamie CarragherArne Slot's role as Liverpool boss is far from guaranteed beyond this season but Jamie Carragher insists the Anfield faithful cannot just wish for another Jurgen KloppJamie Carragher is fearful that "Liverpool supporters are already behaving like Manchester United fans" with their demand to see another Jurgen Klopp arrive at the helm.The Reds are nearly two years into their era post the German, who was the man to end their wait for a Premier League title. He also claimed the Champions League and was regarded among the club's greatest ever managers by the time he left.Arne Slot came in to replace him, winning the title in his first year, before enduring a notable drop off in his second season.



That has led to questions over his future, which will only ramp up if he finishes the season trophyless and fails to qualify for the Champions League.Carragher admits to getting a sense that the Anfield fanbase are seeking a Klopp-like figure - seeing comparisons with the demands from Red Devils supporters to find their next Sir Alex Ferguson. However the ex-Red insists neither is out there.He wrote in the Telegraph : "My fear is Liverpool supporters are already behaving like United fans in the aftermath of Ferguson’s departure.

Klopp was allowed to endure difficult periods during his Anfield reign because of the authority he possessed and the trust he built. If Slot is a truly elite coach, why has he been unable to reverse this season’s alarming slide?"Slot recently celebrated 100 games in charge and, across that period, boasts the joint best record of any manager in Liverpool's history.
