For his first game in charge, we went into the game on 17th October 2015 with a bench of Bogdan, Toure, Randall, Ibe, Allen, Texeira and Sinclair.
Fast forward just under 3 years and we are going into a game against PSG, who have some of the worlds best players (including the 2 most expensive players in the world), benching Naby Keita, Fabinho, Shaqiri, Roberto Firmino, Shaqiri, Matip and Migs. Although the last 2 names, certainly the last name for sure isn’t good enough, that’s a bench that is stronger than our starting 11 in Klopps first game. Unbelievable the transformation in less than 3 years, which has already included back to back CL qualifications, cup finals and our best start to a season since the 60s if I’m right in saying.
I can’t help but wonder what might have been had we gotten Klopp sooner.
