Jürgen Klopp - Liverpool FC Manager

Its like comparing chalk & cheese to be honest, too many variables at play.

Which is basically my point mate. We have had wholesale changes to the squad, change of manager, change of style and tactics and yet the scores on the doors are still very close (imo anyway)

To balance what you say you also have 7 games from Jürgen second season included in Jürgen's totals won 5 drawn 1 lost 1. Include the first 7 games from Brendan's second season and the results change dramatically.

Brendans first season after 7 games Won 1 drawn 3 lost 3. Brendan's second season after 7 games Won 5 drawn 1 lost 1.

Lot of swings and roundabouts and I am not trying to prove anything, I just find it interesting. 

The biggest difference for me is that Brendan's "almost a success" second season came as a huge surprise to me, if Jürgen has a successful season this season... it won't surprise me in the slightest.   

Didn't Brendan have 2 summer windows in which to work with at this stage? Klopp has had one.

No mate, they both had 1 summer window. It's just that Jürgen's came part way through his year.

Ahhh of course ye. Completely misread the stats.

The making of Jürgen Klopp: How humble Black Forest origins shaped Liverpool manager

In the little town of Glatten, nestled in the Black Forest, the locals say that the character of Jürgen Klopp, their most famous son, was shaped by his environment, although on a clear autumn day amid its quiet streets and unassuming people, it can be hard to see how that might be the case.

The Liverpool manager reaches one year in the job today and his impact on the Premier League has been significant: a demanding coach, a wisecracking post-match interviewee, a man-hugger extraordinaire and, most of all, a manager who has built a side who could challenge for the title. In Glatten, the seed was planted and the boy who would go on to win two Bundesliga titles at Borussia Dortmund, before eventually moving to Liverpool, took his first steps in the game

.For the full picture to emerge, it takes a conversation with one of his two older sisters, Isolde Reich, and her husband, Kurt, who can explain the full Klopp family story and the factors that influenced young Jürgen. The Reichs are friendly, patient people and when the photographer and I turn up at their home, which doubles as Isolde’s hair salon, she checks her schedule and asks if we would mind coming back in an hour.

An hour later, with the family photos spread out on the kitchen table, discussion turns to Jürgen’s tactile side, that tendency to gather up his players in embraces in the aftermath of victory, as he did at Stamford Bridge after the win over Chelsea last month. “Going to people and being like that – he gets that from my father,” Isolde says. “He was exactly the same.”

Norbert Klopp is the much-missed patriarch of the family who died aged 67 in 2000 after a three-year battle with cancer.

It was Norbert and his wife Elisabeth, who still lives in Glatten, who would drive Jürgen to training 20 miles away in Ergenzingen when he joined the best youth team in the area. It was Norbert who, Kurt explains, was the driving force in his son’s development as a footballer but never lived to see him become a coach in 2001 at Mainz, the club at which Jürgen spent his whole professional playing career.

“He [Norbert] was very proud of Jürgen,” Kurt says. “He would say that to other people but he wasn’t one for telling you ‘well done’ all the time.

"He focused Jürgen on the things that were not so good. He criticised him a little bit and kept his feet on the ground. We have the phrase here, ‘the hair in the soup’ – it is about the small things that are not so good.

"“It was probably necessary to push him when he was younger. After that, Jürgen made it by himself. Norbert and Elisabeth spent a lot of time every day driving him to his new club, TuS Ergenzingen, and from there Jürgen’s career took off.”

The pride in Jürgen, is clear and the family were careful to select for The Daily Telegraph only the pictures they thought he would approve of. It is not hard to spot the physical similarities with his father, who worked his whole life for the local company Fischer as a rawlplug salesman, a dedicated grafter who took his loyalty to the firm’s boss, Artur Fischer, very seriously.

“He identified with the company really deeply,” Kurt says. “It was a family-owned company and he was close to Artur. It is a global player now but that was not the case back then. Norbert took four weeks’ holiday a year and the rest of the time he was working.”


The similarities with Jürgen, he says, are plain for the family to see. “He works really hard – a workaholic really. You have to be to do that kind of job well.”

Jürgen left the family home in Glatten when he finished his arbitur – the German equivalent of A-levels. At 20, he first moved to Pforzheim to play for a club there. From there, he went to a series of amateur clubs in Frankfurt while he also studied for a university degree in sports business.

He signed for Mainz in 1990, aged 23, and played there as a striker and eventually a centre-half, until he became manager 11 years later.

"“He himself has said that he was not the best footballer, although he did score four in a game once,” Kurt says. “He always hoped Mainz would get promoted to the Bundesliga but it never happened until he was manager. He tells us that sometimes he is a dreamer when it comes to football. He always says that he is so happy that his hobby also happens to be his job.”

As a teenager, Jürgen would occasionally go to Stuttgart, the nearest big city to Glatten, to watch the club he supported, VfB Stuttgart, although it was playing rather than watching with which he was preoccupied. He once had a trial at VfB but was not asked back. “Those kind of setbacks built his character,” Kurt says.

Norbert was also a promising footballer, a goalkeeper who played for Kaiserslautern’s junior teams and grew up in the austerity of post-war West Germany earning money when a teenager as a feintaschner – making bags and wallets out of leather.

Elisabeth’s family were from Glatten and in the past owned the local Schwanenbräu brewery which, like many small independents in modern Germany, have been swallowed up by the major names.

Although it is a member of their family who has sprinkled the stardust on Glatten, the Reichs are notably understated and will visit Anfield for the first time this month.

Kurt works as a salesman for a packaging machine company and there is a steady stream of clients for Isolde’s hairdressers. We bid them farewell and head over to see Ulrich Rath, the first manager for whom Jürgen played.

The 75-year-old, who is honorary president of SV Glatten, is such a well-known figure in the town that when we pop into the town hall, Tore-Derek Pfeifer insists on introducing us personally to see Rath. Pfeifer is the mayor of Glatten, although the German word for it, bürgermeister, is much better.

Rath founded the junior teams of SV Glatten, the town’s club which Jürgen played for alongside his best friend, Rath’s younger son, Harti. In the pictures of that Glatten boys’ team from the mid-1970s, golden years for West German football, Klopp is immediately recognisable even without the glasses.

“Our first match, Jürgen was chasing a long ball and crashed into the goalkeeper,” Ulrich remembers. “He broke his collar bone and dislocated his shoulder but he still came to the next match. He ended up ballboy. You could see how desperate he was to be involved, to do something. He was eight years old.”

Ulrich gets emotional when he talks about Jürgen ringing him from Liverpool to speak to him on his 75th birthday in January. It was in Ulrich’s house in Glatten, with magnificent views across the valley, that he says Jürgen and Harti would have teenage parties in the basement. The boys learnt to ski together and both Jürgen and Harti went on to play for TuS Ergenzingen.

Harti is godfather to Klopp’s son Marc, 26, from his first marriage, and all the Raths are off to Liverpool next month for the first time to see a game.

“From his father, Jürgen gets his temperament and his eloquence,” Ulrich says. “And the quietness and the humility he gets from this region.” He points out the big windows of his living room. “From the Black Forest.”

The last stop is TuS Ergenzingen, the club Jürgen joined at the age of 16. He played there until he was 20, finally leaving the club and the family home in Glatten to embark on the career that would take him to Pforzheim, Eintract Frankfurt II, Viktoria Sindlingen, Rot-Weiss Frankfurt and then Mainz. At Ergenzingen, one of Jürgen’s old team-mates, Paco Garcia, is out on the training pitches coaching the under-18s.

Garcia, 49, who works in the Mercedes-Benz factory in nearby Sindelfingen, played one season, 1984-1985, with Jürgen and remembers a striker who was unusually quick for his height.

“He was a really cool type of guy, a good character. He was very human, very emotional. He always wanted to win … there were a couple of players who were better than him but he had that will to win and focus to do it.”

By the time Jürgen’s professional playing career finally took off at Mainz, he was 23. He had battled his way through four amateur clubs. He had graduated from university. He was a father.

He occasionally comes back to Glatten and they held a big celebration for him when he won his first league title with

Dortmund in 2011. It is there, deep in the Black Forest, that they appreciate best just how far their boy has had to come to establish himself as one of the leading coaches in Europe.

I got 41 of 45, missing a few of the obscure one and, to my shame, Kolo Toure.

Love stats but the comparison between Rodgers and Klopp is a non-starter.

Klopp's situation compared to Rodgers, and having a fit Sturridge with Suarez should get you some wins. Klopp turned the BR flops in to key cogs in his team and even made a striker of Divock who people so early wrote off.

Exactly my reaction.

Sick for it they are at a loss as to why though when we're doing so well and the fans for most part are buzzing and putting on a united front, but people keep on with their agenda.

Mind blowing.

Just a word about Origi.
I find it amazing that so many people were prepared to right off a young lad, who has his whole career ahead of him, and who excites Klopp no end.
It beggars belief, but thankfully seems to be confined to kneejerkers.

A cracking young player, who can blossom under Klopp to become great.
Maybe not in the mould of an out and out striker like Rush, but more like Drogba (but without the cheating   )

Stories going round about Juve sniffing for Origi, Jürgen will F**k them rite off.

Sturridge made 14 league appearances in Brendan's first year, he has made 20 so far in Jürgen's first year.

Fitness coach: This is why Jürgen Klopp's teams lose finals

DUTCH coach Raymond Verheijen, who has worked with the Wales national team in the past, has given his thoughts on why Jürgen Klopp's teams fall short in big games at the end of the season.
By Colin Harvey  /   Published 7th October 2016

The German boss has managed to get Liverpool to two finals already in his 12 months on Merseyside but neither went to plan.

Sevilla put Liverpool to the sword 3-1 in the Europa League final back in May and Manchester City beat Klopp's men 3-1 on penalties after a 1-1 draw in the League Cup.

And Verheijen says that is a pattern he expects to see continuing following injuries to Adam Lallana and Dejan Lovren last weekend.
"There is a reason why Klopp is the manager who has lost the most cup finals”
Raymond Verheijen

On Twitter, he wrote: "Jürgen Klopp, fantastic coach.

"Great in developing a playing style but does not have a clue about the principles of periodisation.

"Liverpool again suffered double muscle injury blow last weekend.

"And they do not even have to play midweek European games.

"Many injured Liverpool players withdrew from national team. Imagine how big injury crisis would have been if Liverpool had played in Europe?

"Because of Klopp's intense training and playing style, it's very likely the Liverpool players will struggle in the last months of this season.

"It's important for young coaches to know there is a reason why Klopp is the manager who has lost the most cup finals at the end of a season.

"A lesson young coaches can learn from Klopp's mistake: Intense training is crucial to improve players but plan moment/amount very carefully."

http://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/551684/Liverpool-news-Jürgen-Klopp-Verheijen

Not the first criticism from Verheijen who ever he is!

I do think we have a lot of muscle injuries, but maybe that's the price we pay for winning games? I would rather win games rather than lose them because we don't want to risk injuries (at least the important games anyway).

This idiot trots out the same sh*t every few months usually rotating between Wenger, Pep and Klopp.

if he is such a genius at fitness I wonder why he is unemployed? surely some team would have employed his brilliant conditioning regime.

If we have a deep enough squad we can deal with muscle injuries. Not too worried about it right now. I don't feel like we are seeing any more injuries than we had under Rodgers or Hodgson.

He said the same things about Pochettino, and if memory serves, he has said many of the same things about different coaches.

It seems the only way that coaching/training should be done, is his way.

Easy way to make money mate...just sell a few critical articles that make headlines, or he's after a job

If we have a deep enough squad we can deal with muscle injuries. Not too worried about it right now. I don't feel like we are seeing any more injuries than we had under Rodgers or Hodgson.

Fitness coach: This is why Jürgen Klopp's teams lose finals

DUTCH coach Raymond Verheijen, who has worked with the Wales national team in the past, has given his thoughts on why Jürgen Klopp's teams fall short in big games at the end of the season.

The German boss has managed to get Liverpool to two finals already in his 12 months on Merseyside but neither went to plan.

Sevilla put Liverpool to the sword 3-1 in the Europa League final back in May and Manchester City beat Klopp's men 3-1 on penalties after a 1-1 draw in the League Cup.

And Verheijen says that is a pattern he expects to see continuing following injuries to Adam Lallana and Dejan Lovren last weekend.
"There is a reason why Klopp is the manager who has lost the most cup finals”
Raymond Verheijen

On Twitter, he wrote: "Jürgen Klopp, fantastic coach.

"Great in developing a playing style but does not have a clue about the principles of periodisation.

"Liverpool again suffered double muscle injury blow last weekend.

"And they do not even have to play midweek European games.

"Many injured Liverpool players withdrew from national team. Imagine how big injury crisis would have been if Liverpool had played in Europe?

"Because of Klopp's intense training and playing style, it's very likely the Liverpool players will struggle in the last months of this season.

"It's important for young coaches to know there is a reason why Klopp is the manager who has lost the most cup finals at the end of a season.

"A lesson young coaches can learn from Klopp's mistake: Intense training is crucial to improve players but plan moment/amount very carefully."

Not the first criticism from Verheijen who ever he is!

I do think we have a lot of muscle injuries, but maybe that's the price we pay for winning games? I would rather win games rather than lose them because we don't want to risk injuries (at least the important games anyway).

Qualifications?

He has worked with the Welsh team.

Haha F**k off.

I just copied the lists from the internet mate... you can blame Jürgen if you want
