Whenever a new manager arrives at a football club, the appointment gives players on the periphery of the squad renewed optimism in their pursuit of first-team football.
This is especially the case when a new man is appointed mid-season and is therefore unable to immediately turn to the transfer window for help in bringing in new players.
In the case of Jurgen Klopp, arriving at Liverpool merely two months into the new campaign and three months short of the January transfer window, the new Reds boss has explored his options with regards to bulking up his injury-decimated squad this winter.
