Massively well deserved!

How did Klopp do it?

By shrewd transfer dealing.

In the past 5 years, LFC have bought about 40 players - and sold roughly the same number.


Coutinho, Benteke and Allen were sold - and fans were dismayed.

Van Dijk, Salah and Alisson were bought - causing great glee.

All were top class players.


One thing was very different though.

Many who were sold were fine individual players.

Those who replaced them - were team players.

Klopp is my favourite manager in the PL. I am not a Liverpool fan but I love his enthusiasm. He is always smiling, even in (rare this season) defeat. Doesn't take it all as seriously as the ridiculous, po-faced Mourinho or Fergusons of this world.

Really pleased they won it!

I was completely unaware of this (I'm horribly busy) so I was really surprised when I spotted my normally normal neighbour swinging from the lamp post screaming. I thought he might be having a psychotic episode, or had perhaps self identified as an ape.

Interesting Barney; my favourite player is Kevin De Bruyne and it's because he is SUCH a great team player.

You're correct - KDB is the 'assist king' of the Premiership.

An assist being the making or teeing up of a goal - for a teammate.

But he also scores goals himself - 10 so far, this season.

His assists total 25 - and no EPL player gets close to these stats.
