Jamie Carragher had to check on Didi Hamann following Jurgen Klopp’s aggressive reaction to a journalist referring to comments from the former Liverpool midfielder.
Speaking earlier this week, Hamann said he believes the Reds hierarchy will have a “discussion” over Klopp’s future with his former side tenth in the Premier League after nine games.
“I think at some point we are going to have that discussion about the manager and I’m not sure how far we are from that,” Hamann told talkSPORT.
“This Liverpool team looks tired, they look pedestrian and they just look flat.
“I’m not sure where the spark is going to come from because they’ve won games in the past, obviously they beat Rangers a couple of days ago but they’re obviously far superior to Rangers.”
“At some stage I think we will have that discussion about the manager and I’m not sure how far we are off [from that],” he added.

“I’m really close with Didi and I text him last night just to see if he was still alive and was okay!” Carragher told the Daily Mail.
Carragher admitted that he agrees with Hamann that Liverpool “need a spark” and is unsure why Klopp was so angry, but insists he will “try and get to the bottom of it”.
“I saw the question in the press conference and didn’t see why Jurgen reacted the way he did because whoever asked it said Hamman said ‘you need a spark’ – and Liverpool do,” he continued.
“I didn’t get where the frustration came from. I didn’t know whether it was…
