Jurgen Klopp says heavy metal football will be back on the Liverpool agenda after the World Cup… with his side back to their iron-man best following the season-splitting break.
The Reds boss even managed a visual joke when asked if it would be a different Liverpool when the Premier League resumes at Christmas…by offering a traditional strongman pose, with fists above his head pumping muscles, and saying: “If different mean this, then YES!”
The ludicrous experiment of placing a World Cup slap bang in the middle of an intense season has condensed the top flight, with Manchester City only in second and six clubs within eight points of top spot.
