"They were made for each other" - John Giles on Klopp and Liverpool

John Giles reckons Jurgen Klopp's personality traits and past history make him a perfect fit for the challenge at Liverpool.

With players at Anfield already taking on board his ideas and two excellent away wins under his belt, John told Off The Ball that the German manager's past exploits show what he could do for Liverpool.

"I think he was made for Liverpool. Dortmund weren't one of the really big clubs in Germany and he did what he did and won the league twice," said John.

"I think Liverpool are in a similar position that Dortmund were in. A great club, but haven't been doing very well lately. But he knew about the history of Liverpool. He respected the history of the club and I feel they were made for each other.

"If he does what I expect him to do, then the likes of Manchester City and Manchester United will all say 'why didn't we go for that guy?' The only thing, they all had managers at the time. He went to Liverpool when Brendan Rodgers was sacked and I'd say they must have had him lined up before Brendan Rodgers was sacked because he was free."
