If Jurgen Klopp delivers a Premier League title triumph this season then he will “never have to do anything again in Liverpool”, says Chris Kirkland, with the German looking to secure “hero” status.
Former Reds goalkeeper Kirkland told Sport Witness on the 2019-20 campaign: “Amazing. I’ve always been a Liverpool fan and my first game was when I was seven years old standing in the Kop. As a Liverpool fan, it’s brilliant. It’s exciting times.
“I think Jurgen deserves a lot of credit. Three or four years ago, there was a bit of negativity around the club, but he’s brought the whole club back together.
“I go down to Melwood quite a bit and am lucky enough to watch the training. No matter who’s down there, whether it’s the person taking the bins out, someone cooking the food or washing the kit, he treats everyone exactly the same way.
“He’s got so much time for everybody and has brought that feel-good factor back. The fans know that – they adore him and they won the Champions League last year.
“If he can get us the league title for the first time in 30 years, he’ll never have to do anything again in Liverpool because he’ll be a hero. There’s a long way to go. Sunday (the win against Man City) was a huge game and nine points is a big gap.
“But it’s Man City you’re talking about – they pulled it back last year. But I’m hoping this is the year.”
Pressed on whether he feels confident in the Reds’ quest, the ex-England international added: “Yeah, I am.
“It’s been bubbling for a couple of years, we won the Champions League last year for the first time since 2005. It’s been bubbling since he [Klopp] came to the club and he’s transformed it completely.
“They have some world-class players. If we can keep the big players fit… I think in the next two months they play Saturday-Tuesday-Sunday-Wednesday every week after the international break until Christmas, so that’s going to be a challenging period for them to keep everyone fit.
“But if they do that, I’m definitely backing them to win it.”

many people are saying we are going to bottle our chance of winning the league but no fairs, we finished as runners up in the champions league and won it the following season,last year we finished as runners up in the league ,we are going to do it this year,
We, or the team😂, can't let other teams have an easy lead. I was scared to death with Barcas 3-0 lead, like wth happened with both teams.

no matter what u wanna sAy or how u wanna spin it...coach will always be judge off how many glory/trophies you wins for a club....why shouldn't klopp be held to the same standard as Brendan rodgers??
no one is spinning nothing...if we were glory hunters...we be supporting liverpool for this long? glory hunter like you would had jump ship and support another club long ago instead of staying this long for liverpool to win the league... as to why rodgers cant be consider a legend as klopp...it because he change he tactic to depend on suarez for goal and destroy our season..people think gerrard slip that cause us the title but the truth is rodger keep changing his tactic back and font that cost us and lost the players trust in the proccess...and the one we think is the greatest manager is shankly who isnt the one who win us the most trophies..so you tell me if manager is judge by trophies then...
