    I genuinely miss him as our manager. It sounds cliche but it was just different with him, he's the manager every fan would have loved to have.
    Totally agree. In my lifetime, the high points are as follows:

    the late eighties were when I started supporting. Was a bit too young to really appreciate how good we were back then. We then went through the suffering years.

    We had some good times under Ged but the football wasn't great. Rafa brought us some great times and some good football too. 2009 beating Villa 5.0 I really thought the glory days were back.

    Then we had Kenny for a brief spell. The end of the season 2011 was great.

    We had the Rodgers years. Mostly frustrating but the football was sensation with Sturridge, Suarez and Sterling.

    Then Klopp came and Boom! The football in a short time was so exciting. All out attack. I loved the Man City Champions League game in 2018 when we scored 3 early goals to blow them away. Yes, our defence was a bit ropey until VVD and Alisson were settled in but it was just great to watch exciting all out attacking football.

    As you the say the man himself was the key of course. I'd have been happy if we finished top four every season with Klopp for the next 10 years as long as he was our boss.

    I find peoples posts about Slot quite odd.

    Rafa got us back on the map at the highest level. Dealing with worse owners. Loved by fans

    Kenny came out of retirement to answer a SOS call, even after giving everything he'd already given. Loved by fans.

    Slot won us the league last year, and might do something special this year. Don't know why fans have a problem with his personality.

    Nobody has a problem with any of those mentioned but I don't think it can be argued one bit that Klopp had a connection to Liverpools fans that is as equal as Shankly.

    It's not always or just about trophies. It's about bringing the feel good factor back to a club that has been in doldrums for years.
    Rafa gets a mention but what about GH? He arguably did more than Rafa to bring Liverpool back from obscurity.

    Correct tees

    Joe Fagan won an amazing array in just one season - and the guy is a club legend too but again - the job done and foundations laid down - the bond with the fans built from the ground up… nothing akin to Shanks or Klopp.

    But this shouldn’t really need explaination on a Liverpool forum

    I was listing most recent managers. Rafa brought home a 5th CL title. Kept Gerard at the club and brought LFC back to the top tier of club football. 5 CL titles. I've mentioned Kenny answering an SOS. And Slot winning the PL last year. GH just a little further back.
