As we reminisce on those wonderful years, let's take a look at Klopp's top 5 moments at Liverpool.5 - Klopp thanks the fans after 2-2 draw with West BromOne of Klopp's first memorable moments in the red of Liverpool, which was controversial at the time.Divock Origi's late equaliser rescued a point for the Reds at home against a team that many would have expected to beat with ease. You need moments like this, and you need moments like this at home, that everybody that can enjoy.It's only a point but everybody will talk about this game for the next five or six days, and that's important and that's what football is for.We all wanted this one point and it felt like three.
Clark, McConnell, Danns and Quansah all came on during the game, and were instrumental ahead of van Dijk's winner in the 118th minute.Not to mention Caoimhin Kelleher putting in one of the best goalkeeping performances seen from a backup goalkeeper.The performance was a culmination of years of trust from Klopp and his staff in the youth team and just how good the German was at man-mangement. The boys showed up, it was really cool."Clark, now at Derby County, added:"When he called my name and said I was going on it was an unbelievable feeling.Klopp fills you with confidence, gives you freedom, really lets you do your thing."It was fitting that the final trophy of Klopp's reign at Anfield was the one that embodied him as a manager the most.2 - 2018/19 Champions League trophySpeaking of trophies, this was the one that convinced the footballing world that the German was not here just for moments.
Klopp and his Red arrows were relentless during the season, not tasting victory in only six matches during the season (3D, 3L), and three of those (1D, 2L) came after the title was secured.Constant late winners and blowing teams aside were frequent throughout the season in what was perhaps one of the most dominant displays of a team in Premier League history.In classic Klopp fashion, he was quick to remind us all it was not just him that brought the Reds back to their rightful perch: "“Knowing how much Kenny supported us… it’s for you as well, Kenny - you had to wait another 30 years for your club to win it - it’s for Stevie, who had to wait a long time.“And now it’s for all because this is all built on your soul Kenny, the legs of Stevie, the boys admire you. It’s easy for me to motivate the team because of our great history, so it’s just unbelievable."Everyone will remember where they were when we won in Madrid, and when the title was secured in 2020.And we have Klopp to thank for a wonderful (almost) nine years that we will all look back on with fondness.Danke, Jurgen.Add us as a preferred source on GoogleFollow
