Jürgen Klopp

[banditos]

For someone living in Germany you seem to know absolutely nothing about Klopp or Bayern.

It'd be like Daglish managing United.

It'd be more like Carra managing united. He's Schwabian and they have a huge rivalry with Bavaria.

Or like a scouser becoming top scorer for United? (Rooney)

Or a Liverpool player becoming the most successful United manager? (Busby)

It's football. **** like that happens all the time.

I'm going for Fred Hopkin, the winger we signed for £2,800 from Man U in 1921. Played 360 games and scored 12 goals, according to those fine folks at Lfchistory.

Who was the last Manc to play for Liverpool?

Phil Chisnall was the last one to go from Man U to LFC in the 60's (he was a Manc born and bred) but I cant even think of any Mancs to have played for us since then

Jurgen Klopp claims the goalkeeper’s No 1 spot is up for grabs at Liverpool.

In a blow to Simon Mignolet, Klopp claims rivals Loris Karius and Danny Ward will be given opportunities to impress during pre-season.

Mignolet must prove himself to Klopp all over again, despite shining during Liverpool’s successful campaign for a Champions League place when he kept four successive clean sheets at the end.

Klopp insists competition brings the best out of his goalkeepers and told liverpoolfc.com: “That’s very comfortable for the manager - three really good goalkeepers.

“It is like it is and nothing is decided, they can all show how good they are. I don’t want to bring doubt so that they start doubting.

“They are at a fantastic club and a fantastic football club needs fantastic goalkeepers. We had a really good goalkeeping season.

“Yes, it was a little bit difficult for Loris, but I’m sure he had his part in the development of Simon, who played a really good season. And Danny played a fantastic season at Huddersfield with a big success at the end.

“We have three goalkeepers and they can all show what they are able to do, and then we will see who will start.”

Karius played 11 games before losing his starting place to Mignolet because of a succession of errors and the German says he wants the No 1 spot back.

He insists he has learnt from his first campaign at Anfield and will be better next season.

“I didn’t have an easy first season with a bit of a struggle and injuries,” he said. “Now I want to prove myself, do better than last season and win the shirt back.

“It was a new experience for me, with a lot to learn. Even in the negative spell, I took positives out of it and learned a lot that was new to me. I feel strong mentally and also on the pitch. I want to prove myself.

“It’s good to have competition and good for the club to have three strong goalkeepers. I’m sure we’ll try to push each other in training. Everyone will try to be at their best.”

Had we signed Mig in Jan, then we'd have all been delighted how he progressed. We'd even be saying that he ended up being the difference between finishing 4th and 5th or 6th.

However, I always feel that he is one **** up away from being canned. And maybe that is the environment that gets the best out of him.

I suspect though that whoever out of the 3 goalies is on the bench in the first one or two league matches will be looking for a move by the end of August.
