GRAEME SOUNESS: Jurgen Klopp has been a shrewd leader in dark times - but here's why he can't be considered Liverpool's greatest

Daily Mail  

I know from some wonderful years working in Liverpool what it means to have a manager who connects with supporters in the way that Jurgen Klopp has done. Few managers are able to connect with Liverpool supporters the way Jurgen Klopp has done The turning point was when he signed Virgil van Dijk and Alisson several years ago There have been a number of comparisons between Klopp and Bill Shankly recently Shankly was building from the foundations up. Jurgen under Liverpool's have certainly been outstanding, given that his nine-year net spend has been £254million, compared with Manchester United's £888m, Chelsea's £835m, Arsenal's £696m and City's £692m. Klopp has had plenty of success at Liverpool, but inherited a much worse side than Shankly But you can look no further than Bob Paisley, who took a good team and made them great Klopp has still reenergised supporters at Anfield and taken them on a wonderful ride Ortega saves the day People talk so much about small margins, but it's transpired that the destination of the Premier League trophy might hinge on Stefan Ortega's right leg, five minutes from the end of normal time in the Manchester City's penultimate game of the season. Stefan Ortega has essentially put Manchester City on the verge of winning the Premier League His save from Son Heung-min on Tuesday was the difference between City being in charge and Arsenal having the advantage VAR can still work - with AI upgrade I don't see VAR being abolished, despite the Premier League debating the suggestion in a few weeks' time, and I don't want it to be.
