After a fantastic chance to capture their first Premier League title was wasted under Brendan Rodgers in 2013-14, the Liverpool faithful at Anfield are now surely dreaming of a possible Premier League title this season.

After nine games in the league, Liverpool are second on the table and would have been on top if not for Gareth McAuley’s consolation goal for West Brom.

Klopp has transformed Liverpool into one of the most dangerous teams in the Premier League. Phillipe Coutinho is in the form of his life, and is ably supported by some fantastic players in Sadio Mane, Adam Lallana and Roberto Firminio, who are all having a great run.

The German manager’s ability to learn quickly from games has been fantastic and the German has shown that he is not afraid to leave out quality players like Sturridge, who don’t fit into his style of play and his system.
