Gerard Brand

is blisteringly good.

Arteta's buzzword when he came in was, we need to get the relationship back with the fans.

And it's so undervalued.

And he knows, I mean, he's not an idiot.

He knows that that atmosphere at home is massively important to getting results.

It's not just the culture changes but the signing of Alisson and Van Dijk which I would say were partly funded by the sale of Coutinho.

Now Coutinho was like the

bypass between midfield and attack for them but everything sort of changed tactically for them when he left and obviously it brought in 145 odd million and Barcelona have not got their money's worth when it came to that so the signing of Alisson and Van Dijk I think have both been key and also the sort of change in tactics Liverpool aren't this sort of

heavy metal team anymore actually Klopp hates that phrase he's actually described it as organised chaos and it's actually changed season by season they got 97 points last season they won the Champions League yet he changed it again he brought the defence higher up the pitch and although there have been times this season where they've not been as good as last season overall it's far better they're far more robust

And that's partly down to Klopp's sort of resistance to keep him similar year on year.

He wants to change all the time.

He's not this one-dimensional coach that some would see him as.

I think he was sick of losing cup finals he lost three and two and a half years at Liverpool and

I mean, the European Cup final against Tottenham was not Liverpool.

They did a Tottenham almost.

And I think those defeats, he actually uses those defeats positively.

He's not a super, super optimistic guy in the fact that he welcomes those defeats and he flips them around and says, you need that hurt to feel...

Yeah, I don't think two teams need to be bang necks to each other in a title or in any league for there still to be a rivalry.

There's 27 points, but they still detest each other.

The fans don't like each other.
