Soccer Saturday reaction to Jurgen Klopp joining Liverpool 

“Origi needs to be a miracle worker”, some things are just meant to be aren’t they 😢

Tbf divock origi is a miracle worker

How right Phil Thompson was

9 years later and Phil Thompson was proven right. He was a sensational appointment.

"Liverpool in danger of becoming the new Spurs" Fast forward to 2024, Spurs is still Spurs, and Liverpool has won everything since then.

Benteke, Danny Ings, Sturridge. A mouth watering set of forwards! However little did Jeff know that he would be right about Origi being a miracle worker

That Liverpool squad that he inherited was terrible as well 😂

Miss these days. Proper Soccer Saturday this.

Thommo was pretty spot on. Looks obvious now in hindsight.

How fitting Klopps first game was a half 12 kick off after international duty😂

Back when Soccer Saturday on Sky was worth watching - proper footballers talking with knowledge. As for Klopp, Thommo who knows a thing or two spot on. Miss those days and will miss Klopp so very much!

The current sky sports panel doesn’t compare to this

As a Man Utd fan the next 4 years from this became history. He has been sensational for Liverpool and there greatest manager of the Premier League era. An absolute legend

‘Capital One Cup’ instantly ages this clip. 😂

Phil was bang on there.

And by God did he walk the walk

Depressing to me that 2015 was seen as a long time ago now. Good times.

These lot are giggling, Phil Thompson was spot on! What an appointment he was for Liverpool!

that "be quiet" from Thomson was great.

They all laugh at Thommo, Let’s play a game shall we…? It’s called “medals on the table”

Oh and Origi is an immortal. Miracle worker super sub plenty of times

And after 9 years and Liverpool have won everything under Klopp, they are not laughing anymore.

Ah, the glory days. Bring them back. Now.

Phil was on point 🤷🏾‍♂️💯💯💯

Soccer Saturday before they ruined it

A proper set of pundits. Talking with experience instead of ticking boxes.

There were all laughing !! How right phil was

Amazing to see this, how much has changed - the squad, the club, the supporters, the city. Jurgen changed everything for the better. Milner and Origi in the starting 11, amazing.

Klopp went and did everything he said he’d do

I think he will do pretty well

well charlie under klopp we did get our soul back :) he will be missed

Having watched his Dormtund extensively, I had little doubt we would end up at Liverpool (something that was laughed at at the time!) and he'd bring the silverware back to Anfield as Tweets of mine back then prove. But on this, you could see in this game, against Spurs, how much of a pressing monster Liverpool had become compared to the damp squib of Liverpool in the last season and a bit under Rodgers. Lallana was a man possessed out there that day. Liverpool soon after this went away to Chelsea and City, beat them in B2B weeks. I am not saying Klopp was the only one to get a tune immediately, but just look at the squad that day at WHL. Reaching a League Cup and Europa League Final, all without a pre-season, too, was super underrated even back then. Unlike other managers, Liverpool went step by step up the progression ladder until they won the league. There was no weird jump all of a sudden out of nowhere. Every step made sense. I'll be forever grateful to Jurgen Klopp for not just the past 9 years but 16 total. I followed Dortmund for a few reasons, but he stumbled into my life in 2009, thanks to Setanta Sports showing Bundesliga football. He was always special. He responates with me (and many others) because he cares for more than just football, unlike other men who may have won more than him. Liverpool fans get called passion merchants and all that, but I have no issue with being deemed that. It matters. On and off the pitch. I can say some new age fans in recent years could learn about the off the pitch stuff. We aren't Chelsea, for example, nor would I ever want to be. Jurgen Klopp is.. was our modern day Shankly. He made us smile. He made my life better being such a constant. He deserves his rest and to enjoy a less stressful life. And maybe in time, the German NT will top off his wonderful managerial career. Edit - someone deleted a reply to me, but saying I am being a hindsight merchant would be the case for many, if you want my Twitter I can link it showing how long I have been Tweeting about Klopp and Dortmind alone lol.

State of that Liverpool team. Can (then) and Coutinho (then) would get into today's team... NOBODY else even close.

I miss this panel. Would make my weekends as a young kid who couldn’t watch the footy live and always keep up the scores on soccer Saturday. A big shame when they got the sack for no valid reason

A football man just knows Thommo was spot on

The sensation of all sensations the normal one Jurgen Klopp!😊

0:25 "Be quiet" tell 'em Phil.

everybody laughed at him. who's laughing now

merson saying that team was capable of top 4 is hilarious

Thomo saw it coming from the get go. He had the knowledge, playing under 2 of the best managers ever.

Pep could NEVER do what Klopp did with the players klopp had… NO chance

The first guy who spoke, what a prediction, he said it first, Liverpool did a Coup.

Phil was spot on. The legend in Jürgen Klopp. YNWA

Love him. 😍😍

The glory days. Was never the same after the 2020 outbreak

You see how they’ve aged.. Scary how time flies!

Funny the opening statement given how many crucial goals Origi went on to score for Klopp.

Phil Thompson knew from the start

It's weird to think anyone would've had doubts about this appointment. I suppose it was a risk in the sense Rodgers was doing alright, but Klopp was clearly elite even back then. He wasn't some underappreciated gem in 2015, he was in most people's top 10 managers in the world among coaches like Pep, Mourinho, Ancelotti, Allegri, Heynckes, Conte, Low, Mancini, etc... He was every hipsters choice too (perhaps where the doubters came from). The whole gegenpressing/heavy metal football concept was the trend of the time & he was the face of it.

Back when soccer Saturday was actually watchable. A shame to see what it’s become

Good job for his own sake that klopp didn’t have “the first say and the last say” on transfers after the story about the club opting for salah over klopp wanting Julian brandt

When you look at that team and where he’s got them too, it’s fairly remarkable

I think Phil had the last laugh 😂

You tell em, Thommo!

When this was broadcast, Luton were in league 2! 😮

Bring this back, please!!!

The Normal One

I don't know, Jeff!

Why was the production quality better then than it is now? Nowadays just a bland blue screen in the background

in my head I don't remember Poch being at Spurs before Klopp was at Liverpool 😯 Poch at Spurs feels fairly recent to me and Klopp feels like he's been at Liverpool for ages. Looked it up an Poch was at Spurs 10 years ago 👴

Tbf Charlie was correct. They did identify Virgil to help fix the defence. The Coutinho money went a long way and he did stamp his personality all over the club.

Back when Soccer Saturday had real football people on it.

Back when they all wore suits

Back when soccer Saturday was good

Merson looking like Ray Winston nowadays 😂😂

Did mat ever miss a pen sure he never in real game scored amazing goals love respect to Phil

Does anyone know how Klopp got on?

And the rest is History ❤️

Bury 4th in League One - those were the days

Bring the boys back!

When the line up had a personality

3:21 Rangers was in 2nd division of Scotland.

When Soccer Saturday was good.

I bet they ate humble pie now 🤣.

Let’s hope the same can be said of Slot.

Brilliant Geoff 😂

1:20 luton's in league 2

"It's bad enough not having Benteke or Danny Ings". Lol.

Just looking at spurs vs Liverpool teams across the bottom, when spurs actually had a decent team and that Liverpool side were so poor how it changed after klopp.

This aged well. Them laughing ..

Dortmund style of play

This aged really well 😅

And the rest is history well said thomo 👏

If only they had monitored the other teams spending

LOL, Ings, Benteke and sturridge- Firmino, Salah , Mane ...

Goat Soccer Saturday Days

Just shows what he had to deal with when he came in

And look what happened 🔴✨🏆🥇🏆🥇🏆✨😃

Phil Thompson's nose is not just impressively handsome... it's clairvoyant. I think his nostrils may exist in the future.

This format on sky was easily the best on a saturday morning.

They should have listened to Thommo.

God that Liverpool team back then was absolute dross. Klopp turned them into regular title contenders

Jeff really hates Liverpool 😂

And the rest is.history

Who's here after he's gone 😢

How do you know they said lol

1 in 9

soccer Saturday when it was worth watching

What Liverpool supporters did not recognize is this ... Jurgen Klopp walked away from every football team/club he ever managed !!!.

....but so wrong about KDB....
