Very fortunate to have him and it's a massive statement about the man that he even came to us in the first place. I hope we have him for a while longer, though he's more than likely going to be snapped up by a bigger fish if we continue this success, which in a way isn't totally a bad thing if he can get the club back on it's feet, which clearly we're on the road to.
The squad is in really good shape, we have depth up top which is something we've never really had going back to the days of Benitez with N'Gog as back up to Torres. We have a functional midfield which fits in to Klopp's ethos, which has proved a lot of people wrong so far.. No round pegs in square holes. Defence is still a work in progress but you can see improvements on a weekly basis in terms of structure and organization, we've got rid of the deadwood and developed players who didn't look like they had a future with us ie. Lovren. And of course we have a new keeper but time will tell if he's the real deal, but at least he's tried to address the issue.
He's kept the players who had flourished with us last season and built on it despite most calling for a massive overhaul, he's working with what he's had and he's not been afraid to spend if the player is the right fit. Gini and Mane look like steals on current form, obviously still early days.
And then of course his pressers are just totally genuine, particularly liked the quote post match Saturday: “I'm not interested in statements. I'm interested in collecting points”.. He looks absolutely focused on the job and doesn't look to get caught up in his own ego. It's about winning and not about him.
And then cherry on the cake.. We're an absolute pleasure to watch. Fluid, pacey and relentless, it's taken time but that is exactly what was expected when he came on, I think if nothing else, no matter how inconsistent we are, each one us now is excited (more than we already were) to see us play every weekend.
