At Liverpool, supporters usually stay behind the manager for as long as there is belief in the direction of travel.

Once that belief starts to disappear, it’s nigh-impossible to get back.Murphy’s point is not just about results. Liverpool can survive poor results for a spell, but it becomes much harder when belief in the manager starts to go.With Liverpool in the midst of a top-five race and trying to stay afloat in the FA Cup and in Europe, more of the same won’t be tolerated.
