LIVERPOOL legend Robbie Fowler has claimed Jurgen Klopp will “terrify” his players after their 4-1 thrashing at the hands of Napoli.

And it was 4-0 moments into the second period, before Luis Diaz pulled one back, albeit merely a consolation strike.
The defeat means Liverpool have won just two of their seven matches this season since claiming the Community Shield at the end of July.
The performance was a worrying one for Klopp – who is rapidly approaching seven years at Anfield.
And club legend Fowler told BT Sport after the game that he believes the German coach will “tear his players a new one”, while also insisting the squad will be “terrified” of their own head coach.
