Jurgen Klopp has Liverpool playing his way and re-energised after first year

A year is a long time in football. Exactly 12 months ago on this day, Jurgen Klopp became the 21st full-time manager of Liverpool and inherited a club that appeared to be going nowhere in a hurry. But 61 games later, the Reds now seem to be heading in the right direction, with a clear style under the charismatic German.

Klopp has already guided Liverpool to two cup finals in his relatively short stay on Merseyside, and they now currently sit just two points adrift of Premier League leaders Manchester City. It appears the Reds will now be competing at the top of the table, as opposed to the depths of sixth to eighth, which had become the standard at Anfield in the past few seasons.
