No.3: Chris Bascombe (The Telegraph)
The Telegraph's Chris Bascombe pens this piece about the fantastic impact Jürgen Klopp has already made in front of the Kop in such a short space of time.
If you asked a Liverpool supporter to describe the ideal manager you could guarantee certain qualities.
They'd tell you they wanted someone who is a proven leader - a man with the charisma to galvanise players; the intelligence to guide one of the most demanding clubs in the world back to the top and keep them there; and with a natural empathy with the most impassioned supporters who crave success.
They'd say they wanted the kind of guy who understood the culture of their city as much as the club, embracing Liverpool history rather than feeling intimidated or even irritated by the persistent references to the greatness of the past.
Most of all they'd say they wanted a winner. They'd want their manager to drive his players toward their own milestones by producing performances of such ferocious energy as well as technique, shell-shocked visitors to Anfield have no choice but to submit.
"To give in," as the Kop's spiritual leader of the 1960s put it.
We live in the fantasy football age and whether it is by design or destiny, Klopp arrived at Liverpool matching all the above criteria.
Liverpool have had some great managers in the last 20 years. Gerard Houllier and Rafa Benitez were just as impressive as Klopp in their early months at the club, diligently overseeing a transformation with assuredness and wisdom.
Yet even they would admit it took time for them to win over suspicious elements, not just in English football, but within their own fanbase. They achieved that by conquering Europe and claiming their place on the same honours board as the legends they were challenged to replicate.
Houllier and Benitez had to win over the Kop before the chanting of their name at every home game became part of the Anfield soundtrack.
Since Klopp has arrived, it's felt like role reversal, with many Liverpool supporters eager to impress him. The feeling when he was appointed was not merely one of excitement, but of gratitude that such a sought-after coach believed he could reinvigorate an institution he sensed was suffering post-traumatic stress after narrowly failing to win the title of 2014.
For over 40 years it has seemed every time Liverpool sought a new manager the board assessed the credentials of the candidates and wondered if they were meeting the next Bill Shankly.
There's already good reason to believe that when the time comes to recruit the next prototype Anfield coach - hopefully long into the distance - they will be craving the next Klopp.
