Liverpool fans are clamoring for a surprise candidate to take over from Jurgen Klopp following their latest setback in the title race.

Despite the chance to regain the top spot on Sunday afternoon against Crystal Palace at Anfield, the Reds endured another disappointing performance, succumbing to a 1-0 defeat courtesy of Eberechi Eze’s goal in the 14th minute.

Liverpool’s struggles in front of goal persisted against Crystal Palace, mirroring their recent matches against Manchester United and Atalanta.

Despite opportunities from players like Curtis Jones, Diogo Jota, Darwin Nunez, and Mohamed Salah, the team failed to capitalize on big chances to equalize. Consequently, Liverpool maintains their third position in the Premier League table, with Jurgen Klopp’s final season at risk of concluding disappointingly.

In response to the defeat, Liverpool fans have taken to social media, suggesting an unexpected candidate, Aston Villa’s manager Unai Emery, as a potential replacement for Klopp.

One fan said: “Liverpool should be on the phone to Unai Emery’s agent tonight, what a job that man is doing, incredible.”

Another tweeted: “I’ll probably get slaughtered for this but I would give Unai Emery a go at Liverpool.”

A third fan added: “Maybe we need to consider Emery at Liverpool.”

Someone else wrote: “Surprised Unai Emery hasn’t been mentioned in the Liverpool manager conversation.”

A fifth commented: “Seriously won’t mind Unai Emery at Liverpool next season.”

Emery’s Aston Villa dealt a blow to Liverpool’s Premier League title hopes by securing a 2-0 victory against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium. Late goals from Leon Bailey and Ollie Watkins sealed the win for Emery’s team, stunning his former club.

Meanwhile, Manchester City emerged as the biggest winners of the weekend, taking the top spot in the table, now two points ahead of both Arsenal and Liverpool.
