“Very rarely do you see a manager stamp his authority on a team on day one. And that’s what he did.”
Jamie Carragher liked what he saw.
Jurgen Norbert Klopp rode into Liverpool on a white horse last week and, despite seeing out a goalless draw in his first game, the new manager impressed certain corners of the Red world.
Sky Sports’ finest, Neville and Carragher, went through Liverpool’s performance against Spurs and how the German is setting his team up to transition from defence to attack and vice versa.
The pair looked at the shape and effort exerted by the ‘Pool players under the new regime and compared the distance the team covered to others. And, interestingly, how Origi’s running stats on Saturday compared with Benteke’s highest ever output.
The question they’re asking is will big Christian cover the same sort of distance.
The question Benteke will surely ask is: Do you really want to play Origi instead of me?
Grab a cuppa and give this a watch.
