I think it's difficult to pick out one side over another ultimately in our history, because we have had such a rich and successful one,to suggest this one or Bob's juggernaut or Kenny's conquerors is better than the other is splitting hairs and ultimately almost impossible truth be told. Different times, football isnt the same game really that it was in the late 70s or the late 80s, its evolved and so have we.
We are blessed, we are lucky
What I will say though is this is an unbelievable side, we are so fortunate to witness it and what I'd like to focus on is the key component in it in my opinion and someone I just want to pay tribute to and say thank you
Jürgen Norbert Klopp
Not only is the man a man we should all want to be like, he is caring, liberal, trustworthy, kind, sensible and honest but he has done something that many have failed to do before him and the longer it went on the harder it became
He put us back on our f**king perch
That's not something to be sniffed at, many before him have tried and not succeeded, many men I respect and in some cases in awe of. The list is long.
Souey
Evo
Houllier
Rafa
Kenny
Brendan
All of those fall into one of those categories, I love some of those men, I respect others
They had success in their own rights, they took us close, some won really big titles, but none took it beyond that, none turned us into a consistent winning team others are scared of
Jürgen did
Jürgen has
Jürgen has taken on 30 years of strain on his back and with his big wonderful smile and his laid back persona he has delivered what others couldnt, hes brought us the title, the mountain has been breached, the weight lifted. But on the way to that hes made us kings of europe again, feared and respected the world over.. hes delivered the world club championship, something no other manager in our history could.. hes made us a destination for world class players rather than a stepping stone
We are lucky to have the man,and for me the reason Bri started this thread is down to him, hes the reason we can debate if this is the greatest ever liverpool side
Thanks Jürgen.. no matter what else follows in this clubs history you have cemented your place In it and you deserve to be spoken of as one of the most important men in the clubs story, in its history
So yes a relevant thread but I wanted to thank the man that's made the conversation valid
