Klopp known for making ordinary players extraordinary, which is what LFC need now. Team will follow him off a cliff if he asks — Clark Whitney (@Mr_Bundesliga) October 6, 2015
LFC fans will want transfers, which is a big question mark for Klopp. He hasn’t had success with big-money transfers

Note: Klopp took 3 years to win title with BVB. Lewandowski & Gündogan took about a year each to impress. Don’t expect immediate results — Clark Whitney (@Mr_Bundesliga) October 6, 2015
