Despite improved relations with the players and clear support from the squad, the defeat to Manchester City showed that this alone is not enough.
The team's position in La Liga, the players' physical condition, and recent results are all piling pressure on Alonso. The management is demanding immediate improvement.
It should be noted that at the moment, Alonso's side sits second in La Liga, trailing Barcelona by four points.
Reminder: Jürgen Klopp is among the candidates to replace Xabi Alonso.
