Thanjk you.

He deserves it for January already for sending out his kids and them beating an established full strength PL side. Now if that isn't being the best manager, I don't know what is
It's a bright, crisp Friday morning at Liverpool's Melwood training ground and Jurgen Klopp is feeling refreshed.
For the first time in months, he and his players have had a full week to prepare for their next match. There was no midweek game and a rare day off on Monday. "A day off in this period feels like two weeks!", he chuckles to Sky Sports.
Switching off when he's able to isn't a problem, either. What does he do? "Nothing! Absolutely nothing! Hanging around in a corner. I had a two-hour afternoon nap. There were two dog walks and that's it," he says. "Great!"
Post-game and pre-game analysis, for instance, had to be dramatically condensed over the festive period.
"I always made long analysis of the games at Mainz," says Klopp. "My duty for myself was to prepare the analysis overnight [after a game] and the next morning session was to tell the boys, 'OK, look at this, that was good, that was not so good'.
"Now it's like this - you come in on Monday morning and you play on Wednesday another opponent, so the analysis is now like [Klopp clicks his fingers]. 'It was like this, this and that, now here's the preparation for the next game'. That makes it really difficult.
"At Mainz, I used to watch five games by myself of the next opponent. If I do that now then I don't sleep between Sunday and Wednesday!"
Doubt it'll have much effect, but it's good to see Klopp using his exposure over the last month to rail on the authorities over amount of games we're having to play.
"I will make the boys feel your support"
