Absolutely hate this appointment.

I don't want to dislike Klopp but now no choice.

On non-manger news, I told you that Coutinho would be at Barca or Madrid by 2017.

Pellegrini had none before he won a domestic double in his first season. Mourinho had none either before going to Chelsea. The more pertinent question is will his system of a high-energy pressing game work in the PL. It certainly worked in the Bundesliga for a while but you need the players to do it and he had some good players. But once a few key ones went, it clearly affected them, in the same way the loss of key players like Alonso, Mascherano, Gerrard, Carragher & Suarez has affected Liverpool.

He could do it but it's a stretch to think he's going to wave a magic wand and turn Milner into Reus.

Pellegrini had a ready made great squad to manage when he arrived - Klopp hasn't.

Let us hope it's a stable relationship.

The PL experience issue can easily be sorted by having decent support staff that do have that experience. They need a Brian Kidd character, someone who knows English football inside out but who is happy to have a backrow seat. It will be interesting to see what happens with the coaching staff and the infamous transfer committee.

P.S. We are so lucky to have Kidd.

Can't remember who, some ex-player or journo was touting Carragher to go back in a behind the scenes role to help organise the defence.

Surely you're not implying that a squad including the Welsh Xavi, the Yorkshire Iniesta, Henderson, Lovren, Ings et al are somehow inferior to our squad?

You won't find it such a burden once the Liverpool PR team have done their worst with him.

Has it been confirmed?

Question is... can Klopp lay wreaths?

Klopp on being sent to the stands: 'I'm a bit proud of my first red card as a coach. I approached the fourth official and said: 'How many mistakes are allowed here? If it's 15, you have one more.'

If nothing else, he'll take the limelight away from Jose which will rattle him even more.
