If Jose Mourinho is 'The Special One', how would you describe yourself?

“I'm the normal one,” he hit back.

Klopp moved quickly to dispel any talk of how the club's much-maligned transfer committee could be a potential source of friction during his tenure.

He dismissed it as a “crazy discussion” and said “it wasn't a problem for 10 seconds......I have the first and the last word on transfers.”

Jurgen is lighting it up.

I can see why a lot of his young players would run through a brick wall for him, as he put it.

Oozes humility and charisma rather than hubris ala Jose.

Hmmmm, I wonder who King Kenny is talking about?

Zing!

In an interview with Ben Smith, he said the first thing he wants do as manager is watch a youth match

I feel it too man. Been watching Borussia Dortmund highlights for a couple hours, trying hard to remind myself Lewandowski isn't coming too.

I think the biggest thing I saw in those matches I watched was that BVB never fricking ball watched in the attacking third. Everyone was moving constantly. Some more than others obviously, but there were constant passing options.

BVB never quit either. They were gung-ho until the final whistle. The guys believed that they were meant to win, and went out each match to make it happen.

Fitness levels was a big thing I noticed as well. I haven't seen any team just run like theBVB team did the entire match while Klopp was running things. I think that may be a reason for us to withhold excitement for a title contention this year. I don't think any of our players are fit at the level Klopp would like to see at this point (save maybe Moreno, weird as it sounds... He has been like the damn Energizer bunny this year).

Lol. Bad phrasing on my part. I meant near-future title contention. Fitness takes a long time to build.

Our favorite LFC ITKs are saying Ilkay Gudogan & Loris Kaius (GK - Mainz) are our main January targets..

I think he'll see we need a new CB soon enough, too...

Hummels is a lot of £££.. I'd love Benedikt Höwedes

edit: Also, Ruben Neves.. the young DM at Porto. Graeme Kelly is saying it's all but done.
