We were provided an insight into this as an audience, when Borussia Dortmund in their full pomp; routed Arsenal and Manchester City in numerous Champions League matchups.
Furthermore, Klopp can bring his adaptability to games, a modern day commodity that in an age of “philosophies” and play styles is of extreme use. Yes, he refers to full throttle football as a way of “we will go all out and win”, but he respects the different transitions of the game and stresses their importance.

Klopp will have to work with what he has got, at least until January and it will be interesting to see what he comes up with. The squad in its current state is certainly not a bad side and with this Premier League season being so unpredictable, Klopp might fancy his chances of a top four finish, whilst a winner and runner up spot seems improbable.
