I thought Ljinders was gone as well
Is Sean O'Driscoll available?
It is Avvy that draws the mad pictures.
From Raphel Honigstein’s book, Klopp: Bring the Noise. Let's remain positive. 😉
[article]2) Wolfgang Frank is Klopp’s main tactical inspiration
The book has a long chapter on former Mainz manager Wolfgang Frank, who revolutionised German football while Klopp was a player at the club. Frank never found mainstream success but completely reshaped German football and sowed the seeds for gegenpressing.
He was the first person to introduce a back four without a sweeper to Germany and the concept of defending narrowly in certain areas of the pitch; apparently the nation couldn’t understand why Mainz left the right side of the pitch completely open while the opponent was attacking down the other side, for example.
His tactics were an “epiphany” for Klopp, who was impressed by how “everybody had to go where the ball was. The aim was to create numerical superiority to win the ball, then sprawl out, like a fist that opens.” Sound familiar?
3) Klopp’s tactical awareness made him seemingly destined to become a manager
Klopp was told by Frank to take extensive notes from training sessions and their conversations, primarily because he knew his player would one day become a manager and find them useful. The Liverpool boss was eventually promoted from player to manager due to his obvious grasp of the Mainz aesthetic (introduced by Frank some years earlier).
One of the best anecdotes in the book details how Eckhard Krautzun got the Mainz job before Klopp did.
Krautzen, who had not been on the shortlist and would go on to fail spectacularly at the club, wowed the chairman with his intricate knowledge of how to play the high-pressing Wolfgang system.
Three weeks after he was hired, Klopp told the chairman that Krautzun had called him a month before and asked him to explain the tactics – and that Klopp had spoken to him for three hours.[/article]

buvac explained it to klopp the day before
Now that's a name I didn't expect to hear again, ever
Ah, O'Driscoll, what a ray of sunshine he was, and such good judgement, too:
“He was quick to voice doubts about Firmino in particular, stating regularly (and openly) that he couldn’t understand where he should play or why he’d been bought. Whether Rodgers, who was rather more positive in his initial assessments, listened to him or not is unclear, but Liverpool began the season with Benteke up front and Firmino on the bench.”

True, even budgie had some overoptimistic advocates.
The only thing I remember about O'Driscoll is some post-match interview (from his previous job as a manager) where he looked like he hated football and his life
You wish... But Klopp have the final say and we went full throttle?
Unfortunately, I'm now expecting some calamity with the supporters in Rome. Then an injury to Salah.
It's very weird. Some papers this morning have started trying to get Salah a three match ban for supposedly striking a defender on Saturday. Where the hell did THAT come from?
He hit out at Pieters. But nowhere near as bad as the Crouch tackle at Firmino.
It's time to call a coupla hard, pipe-hittin’ n*****s, who’ll go to work on the dreamy here with a pair of pliers and a blow torch. This is entirely down to his complete disrespect for the ways of our universe.

Why?
