Liverpool fans had high hopes and aspirations for their team's performance throughout the season. They eagerly anticipated the possibility of Jürgen Klopp, their beloved manager, achieving an unprecedented feat by winning four major trophies.

Currently, it appears increasingly probable that the esteemed German manager, regarded as somewhat of a deity among Liverpool supporters, will conclude his tenure at the club without securing significant silverware aside from the League Cup.

Liverpool's hopes of securing a second Premier League title under Klopp's leadership were dashed on Wednesday, as they suffered a shocking 2-0 defeat to local rivals Everton in Klopp's final Merseyside derby before stepping down.

Everton aggressively attacked Liverpool's goal, scoring their first goal when Jarrad Branthwaite connected with a long free-kick into the box. In the second half, they extended their lead as Dominic Calvert-Lewin headed home from a corner.

Liverpool's loss at Goodison Park marked their first derby defeat in 14 years. The home fans took full advantage of the moment, ensuring that the defeat was a bitter pill for the visiting team to swallow.

“You lost the league at Goodison Park,” The chant echoed jubilantly through the exuberant crowd.

Liverpool's recent defeat has resulted in them occupying the second position in the league standings. They are currently three points behind Arsenal and hold a narrow one-point lead over Manchester City. However, Manchester City has two games in hand, posing a potential threat to Liverpool's position.

“Obviously very disappointed,” Klopp mentioned in an interview. “In a lot of things, we let it become exactly the game that Everton wanted. Two goals from set pieces … there they are really strong.

“Then we created a lot and didn’t score – I think that would have been possible in the first half. In the second half, the emotions, we’re in a rush, not really clear enough and then we concede the second goal with a routine they’ve done all season.

“We knew exactly the ball would end up there, we just didn’t defend it well enough. They had free kick after free kick … but we were not good enough, that’s what we have to admit. Absolutely.”

Earlier this month, Liverpool suffered elimination from the Europa League, with a 3-1 aggregate loss to Italian side Atalanta. Additionally, the team exited the FA Cup at the quarterfinal stage last month after a surprising extra-time defeat to Manchester United.

On Wednesday, Liverpool's performance was affected by Darwin Núñez's inefficiency in front of the goal, as he failed to capitalize on scoring opportunities. Additionally, Mo Salah's performance showed a notable decline, suggesting that he is not performing at his usual level of excellence.

“It’s not the greatest moment we are in and we still have to play football games, so we have to fight through, you have to use your moments to get the momentum back,” Klopp added.

When asked whether Liverpool still had a shot at the title, Klopp responded with uncertainty, admitting that he wasn't certain about the team's prospects.

“I can only apologize for today to the people,” he said. “Everybody who is with us knows how hard it [the defeat] is for us as well, but I know for the people it is especially hard.

“We should have done better and we didn’t – and that’s why we lost.”

British media sources suggest that Liverpool is making strides in its transition plans for a post-Klopp era, initiating discussions with Dutch club Feyernoord regarding the potential appointment of Arne Slot as the new manager.

Slot, recognized for his talent in nurturing emerging players and implementing an engaging style of football, successfully led Feyernoord to win the Dutch league title last season and secure the Dutch Cup in the current season. Furthermore, under his guidance, the team reached the final of the 2022 Conference League.
