So, Liverpool have unveiled Jürgen Klopp. Looks like a perfect fit to me.

What do you think folks?

 

That could be a masterstroke by Liverpool.

Be interesting to see how he does.

It'll either be a great success or a megadisaster. Worth the lisk from their point of view, but unless he gets a lot of money I can see them being better than they are now but competing to win the league.

I first came across him watching this incredible game, one of my all-time favourites on Gladbach's way to winning the cup in 1995. There were not many Mainz 05 fans there, given they were in the 2nd division and it was played midweek. However, they made a great deal of noise all game and as a result a friendship was set up between the two supporters clubs. I still have the scarf commemorating it.  He was stil playing up-front in those days. Borussia Mönchengladbach 6-4 (4-2) 1. FSV Mainz 05
