The Jurgen Klopp era may still be in it’s very early infancy, but Liverpool fans are clearly besotted with their new manager.
A combination of the German’s natural authority, magnetic charisma, and also what came before, have elevated the ‘Normal One’ to levels of cult status already.
Whereas Brendan Rodgers was prone to self-promotion and blame-shifting, there is a real sense that Klopp is already perceived as a benevolent father-figure by his new squad.

Compare Klopp’s overly-affectionate treatment of fringe players such as Joe Allen, to how the former Liverpool manager singled out Raheem Sterling for stick on the ‘Being: Liverpool’ documentary…
The Anfield faithful are clearly hugely enamoured by the former Borussia Dortmund man, and can’t get enough of his emotive pitch-side manner.
Ali loves how the players respond to their new mentor…

The players need to display as much passion as Klopp. https://t.co/Tbe0fHWsNH

But the prevailing sense is that Anfield has a new paternal presence (rather than a slightly creepy little uncle)…

Man klopp really gives that father like figure

Fair play to Klopp taking Joe Allen under his wing after the match even though he's not his real dad.

Klopp has connected to all players so much. Looks at them just like their father. #LFC
