LIVERPOOL FC

How did "The Reds" become so good ?

Liverpool have already won the European Super Cup and the Club World Cup. If they add the league, FA Cup and European Cup, that’d make a quintuple. A treble of sorts is already imminent. A lot of credit goes to the behind-the-scenes staff. They understand Klopp’s vision and are swinging the deals to get the players he needs, the right young players to develop, and keeping most of the players fit. Few teams are doing two of those three right now for their managers. They have also been surgically ruthless; if a player can’t cut it, they sit or are dealt away.

Kloop the key :

The appointment of Jürgen Klopp as head coach is the best move FSG has made and matched their takeover in terms of significant moments of the past decade. Liverpool was able to make that appointment thanks to the groundwork the recruitment team and data analysts had been putting in place since 2012. The work of director of research, Ian Graham, and sporting director Michael Edwards has been particularly important.
