Martin Skrtel might not fit in the first team if Klopp plays with a high defensive line like he did with Borussia Dortmund.

Last week, Liverpool playmaker Philippe Coutinho was forced to withdraw from Brazil’s World Cup qualifiers against Chile and Venezuela through injury.
Should Klopp win only two of his first five games, it might be regarded as an underwhelming start to his Liverpool reign.
However, should Lallana and Benteke indeed fail to work in Klopp’s system, they will struggle to hold down a first-team spot, and could find themselves shipped out and replaced in future transfer windows.
Asked about raiding his previous club he told reporters: “That’s not my intention at all”. “It’s already October and I don’t even know how many matches there are until winter. I’m looking forward to watching Liverpool play over the next few years”.
However, that has not prevented expectation among fans going through the roof since he was confirmed as manager.
Klopp was photographed in the Sefton Park area of Merseyside, writes the newspaper, which is the location of Rodgers’ £1.2 million apartment and will pay about £4,000 a month for the luxury flat. There are no big stars and the team is relatively young and the lack of success at the club is likely to motivate them into buying into Klopp’s methodology and give their all for the affable German.
“I am convinced that he will be as successful at Liverpool as he was at Dortmund”. “Now the hope is for miracles but progress takes time”.
Klopp charmed and entertained in his press conference, declaring himself “the Normal One” after he was asked about Jose Mourinho’s quip about being “a Special One” when he first arrived in England.

“I do like the look of Klopp, he’s a good appointment”, he said.
