Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool

Jurgen Klopp in a recent interview declared that it is now his team and you bet,  it is. He joined Liverpool two months after the previous season had already started when an ill fated Brendan Rodgers was sacked due to the poor start by Liverpool to the season,  winning only 3 games in 8 matches in the Premier League.

It is not a perfect situation for any Manager to be in, coming to a new club,  in a new country and also in the middle of a season but Jurgen Klopp took it as a challenge and even declaring managing Liverpool to be his biggest challenge till now due to its vast fan base and the huge expectations that goes along with that. One thing he told in his very first Interview that he wants to change the doubters into believers and that is what he is thriving to achieve past 10 months.

At the starting he was not too happy with the Liverpool squad's overall fitness level.  Slowly but steadily he has built on that and also closely monitoring each and every player alongside his trusted assistant managers Zeljko Buvac & Peter Krawietz ,  determining who among them are suited for his now famous full-throttle football.

There were flashes of brilliant football last season as well notably against Chelsea and Man City in the league and Southampton in the league cup.  Then came that run to the final of the Europa league which really captured the imagination of the fans & neutrals alike and really made believers out of doubters.  There was no fairy tale ending though as Liverpool lost to Sevilla by 3-1 in the final of the Europa league but there were enough evidences for the fans to believe in Jurgen Klopp and his way.

Now after the completion of his first full pre-season with Liverpool and the signing of seven new players with the likes of Sadio Mane and Georginio Wijnaldum,  who understands his vision and style of play,  one can truly say that this is Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool. Exciting times are ahead as Jurgen Klopp's liverpool have all the possibilities on their side this season and on one thing there's no shadow of a doubt that Jurgen Klopp is the master of converting possibilities into achievements. 

Jurgen Klopp's first Liverpool match

So how did the first match of Jurgen Klopp in charge of Liverpool for the first time fared for him.


Liverpool against Tottenham has been a high scoring games in recent past but here it was a different scenario. Here was a manager in Jurgen Klopp who has just come in after the season had already begun, barely getting time to know his players due to the international friendlies and not have enough time to take more than 3 training sessions to get his idea across the team.


Liverpool are going through one of their worst injury crisis in recent past with several first team key players missing. The likes of club captain Jordan Henderson, Daniel Sturridge, Christian Benteke, Roberto Fermino, Danny Ings and Joe Gomez all missing out due to various injuries did not help Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool football club.


Match Preview
Liverpool started the match brightly with high pressing and pace as Jurgen Klopp describes it as full throttle Football. They dominated the ball for the first 15 mins and had several chances to score. Liverpool's best chance early on came from a corner which Divock Origi headed for the goal only to see his powerful header hit the post and then cleared off the line.


After that initial period of domination by Liverpool, Tottenham came into the match and had a few goal scoring opportunities of their own only to be denied by the brilliant saves by Simon Mignolet. The first half ended with the score line being 0-0.


In the second period again Tottenham were more adventurous and Mignolet again saved Liverpool by a brilliant save from Harry Kane to deny Tottenham the lead. Emre Can had been the best player of Liverpool in the match with his running and pressing had a good shot nearly end of the match which went inches wide of the post. The final score was 0-0 which was a fair result as both teams were even and had good opportunities to win the match.

Being the manager of such a hugely popular team with a fan base of millions around the globe can some time overwhelm people but here is a man who thrives on such challenges.

Never before in recent history of Liverpool a managerial appointment has brought such an excitement among the fans but then again in recent history Liverpool never had a manager of world class qualities. But in Jurgen Klopp they are getting a manager who has tons of Managerial experience of the highest quality.

The fans are going to love him as he shares the same passion and love for the game as most of us fans feels. In one of his famous Quotes he had told that tactics is very much important but emotion makes the difference. He understands the passion of the fans and he always had a wonderful relationship with the fans wherever he had coached previously.

He is like a perfect match for Liverpool, almost like a match made in heaven and I hope he gets Liverpool to their former heights of glory.    

Contenders for Manager at Liverpool F.C.

At this time Liverpool is looking at Jurgen Klopp and Carlo Ancelotti to replace Brendan Rodgers at Liverpool.


As per some media reports talks have already begun with Jurgen Klopp's representatives and its just a matter of days that he would be announced as the Liverpool Manager. He fits the bill as well as being a young Manager with lots of passion for the game and for the supporters.


Carlo Ancelotti on the other hand is hugely experienced contender as he has managed some of the top clubs such as AC Milan, Real Madrid and Chelsea. Both are world class managers but I would prefer Jurgen Klopp to be the new manager at this time as lots of work need to be done to mold the squad to play like a team and Jurgen Klopp has the passion and enthusiasm to do that.

Arsenal vs Liverpool: Match Preview

Liverpool will play against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on Monday night football.

Liverpool have won both of their previous games of this season and have collected the maximum points from them. Both of the games against Stoke City and Bournemouth have been won by the scoreline of one nil. Liverpool skipper Jordan Henderson is doubtful for this match with a foot problem. It would be a massive setback for Liverpool without their talismanic midfielder. Emre Can is expected to take his place in the midfield and Liverpool are also expected to recall Lucas Leiva for the match either to start alongside Millner and Can in midfield or to support from the bench. Brendan Rodgers is also considering giving first start to Roberto Fermino and if that is true then either Adam Lallana or Jordan Ibe will have to make way for him. Daniel Sturridge, Joe Allen and Joe Flanaggan are definitely out of this match due to injuries.

Arsenal suffered a shock defeat against West Ham United in their first match of this campaign at Emirates but won the second match against Crystal Palace to have 3 points after 2 games in this campaign. Arsenal had won this fixture against Liverpool last season by 4-1. Arsenal will be without Jack Wishere but apart from that they do not have any other injury concerns. Arsenal are going to give start to Alexis Sanchez who was today compared by Arsene Wenger to be as good as Luis Suarez.

This is a very important fixture for both the teams for gaining a psychological advantage on the other in the race for the top four spot and Champions League football for next season.


What the Managers have to say.


Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger: "If you want to have a successful season you want to be strong at home. Normally we are strong at home. This is an opportunity to show that.
"Your confidence is linked with your last result and at Crystal Palace we responded well. From that we should have enough confidence to go into the game positively against Liverpool.
"This is a very important game where the result will of course be vital. It's not a result that will decide our title chances but in our heads we know it's very important."


Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers: "There's a real focus in our group this season, a real toughness, mentally.
"We know that we've got that ability to scrap and fight as well as play good football. If we can go there and perform like we think we can and keep to our game-plan we're confident we can get a result.
"If you assess Arsenal's last 10 games they've lost at home, the teams that have won have averaged four shots on target, with 43% possession. It tells you that you can go there and you don't need to dominate the ball, but you can dominate the space."
