The ex-Reds skipper believes those at Anfield made the perfect appointment back in 2015, with a man considered to "get" the club kept away from rivals
Liverpool got their timing spot on when appointing Jurgen Klopp, says Phil Thompson, as Manchester United, Arsenal or Chelsea would all have pounced on the German coach.
With Brendan Rodgers ushered through the Anfield exits in October 2015, the Reds turned to a former Borussia Dortmund boss to get them back on track.
There has been no silverware to savour as yet, but Klopp has led Liverpool to the Champions League final and restored a standing among the Premier League’s top four.
