France have made two changes to their team for their crunch World Cup pool match against Ireland on Sunday.

Number eight Louis Picamoles replaces Bernard Le Roux, while Noa Nakaitaci comes in for Remy Grosso on the wing.

Whoever wins that match will top Pool D and probably avoid facing New Zealand in the quarter-finals.

We promise to stop with the poor Klopp puns soon..... maybe.

Jurgen looked like he had a good night's sleep didn't he...  

Is it just us or did he look like he'd had his teeth whitened and a hint of a spray tan?

Bristol City have signed winger Elliott Bennett on an emergency loan from Norwich City.

The Robins are currently bottom of the Championship table but will have the services of Bennett on loan from the Premier League side until 3 January.

What a cool character.

Your thoughts?

Some closing thoughts from Jurgen Klopp: "I don't compare myself with the genius managers in the history of football. It is cool that you are all looking forward to the next few years with me but it is not my job to do this. 

"None of the great managers said in their first press conference that they wanted to be a legend when I leave here. We have to work in the present."

More from new Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp: "It is impossible to compare [Liverpool with Dortmund when he first arrived]. It is similar but different. We don't have a pre-season but it is not important. 

"We did in Dortmund what we had to do to improve and work to a common idea of play. It is the same idea here. I am not here only because LFC was calling, I believe in the potential of this team."

Jurgen Klopp, who has the whole room in the palm of his hand, continues the charm offensive.

He says: "It is surreal. But I have to accept this. I don't care about things like this. I am a normal football manager and I want to work with the team and be on the pitch. When I left Dortmund, I felt it was not so important what people think when you come in but what they feel when you leave. 

"I ask, please give us time. If you are patient and are prepared to work, in a special Liverpool way we can be successful. If I am sitting here in four years, we will win one title in this time."

"Everybody knows me," says Jurgen Klopp, which is a fair point given the amount of column inches he's had in the past week. 

"I haven't changed in four months," he promises. "It's a transition game. You will see this. All the things that make football interesting for me. I have said this phrase 'full-throttle' football. It will be this."

Jurgen Klopp was told Jose Mourinho had called himself the special one when he was hired at Chelsea first time around.

"I don't want to describe myself," Klopp said. "I am a totally normal guy. I am the normal one maybe? I had a great opportunity to take Dortmund for seven years. And now I am here. I want to enjoy my work. People have told me a lot about the English press. It is up to you to show me they are all liars."

New Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp, looking sharp in a black suit and his trademark glasses, weighs in on the transfer policy and setup: "This is a crazy discussion. It is not a problem. We have talked about it. I am not an idiot. 

"All we want to discuss is very good players. I need other people to get the perfect information. When we have this we sign or sell a player. But it is very easy to handle."

More from new Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp.

He says: "The Premier League is one of the most difficult leagues in the world. Only one can be the champion but five, six or seven clubs could be. We have to develop. 

"This is a good moment. It is not important who is the winner of the Premier League, only that we play our own game and feel the confidence and trust of the people. We have to change from doubters to believers."

"It is the biggest honour I can imagine," says a beaming Jurgen Klopp. 

"It is one of the biggest clubs in the world. I have an opportunity to try and help in a situation that is not so difficult as some of the people in this room feel. It is a good moment to come here. I am proud.

"The intensity of the football and how the people live football in Liverpool... It is not a normal club. It is a special club."
