Klopp is the best at Anfield since Shankly... he built a Ferrari of a team & drove them like one

JURGEN KLOPP will go down in Liverpool's history as the greatest manager since Bill Shankly.

He built a Ferrari of a team on the pitch and there's no point in having a Ferrari if you are going to drive it like a Fiat Punto Klopp drove his team like a Ferrari.

For me, the timing of his announcement is strange but, after nine years in which he restored Liverpool to greatness, who am I to question Klopp going out on his own terms? Right now they are in the running to win four trophies - Premier League title, Europa League, FA Cup and League Cup and I think he will bow out with at least one of those pots as a parting gift.

To announce he is stepping down with Liverpool above Manchester City in the title race, after everything City have thrown at them in the last decade, is remarkable.

And when history judges Klopp's achievements he will without question be up there with the great managers of the Premier League era.

As a city, Liverpool has thrived for more han 60 years on its Beatles culture but there were only four of them in the Fab Four. At Anfield, they have enjoyed at least six great.
