    And there goes Jurgen Klopp after another pretty entertaining news conference. 

    He was asked about his look-a-like that has been doing the rounds in the city, admitted he had been forced to ask people to stop taking pictures in restaurants and even had one Norwegian journalist hold up a Liverpool shirt with the word Normal on the back, over the No 1. 

    He urged his players to fight for everything to play like "our best dream" and to be brave in everything they did. 

    You get the feeling very few of this man's press conferences will be mundane. Normal, you could say.

    The 27-year-old killed his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp on Valentine's Day last year. He says he shot her by mistake, fearing there was an intruder in his house in Pretoria.

    Ms Steenkamp, a 29-year-old model, reality TV star and law graduate, was hit three times by bullets fired by Pistorius through a toilet door.

    At Mainz and Borussia Dortmund, Jurgen Klopp was clearly a devotee of a 4-2-3-1 formation. While there's no reason to suggest that he will change that at Liverpool, he may decide to take his time in introducing it.

    Trying to accommodate Daniel Sturridge, Christian Benteke and the wonderfully relentless Danny Ings in the same team would prove problematic, while a three-man central defensive system might not find favour, either. That said, Liverpool have looked more solid since it was reintroduced. 

    Spurs at White Hart Lane is the start of interesting times for this new Liverpool.
