In the second part of “Jürgen’s Summer”, we take a deeper look into how Klopp may look to prepare for the additional challenges to come in the new campaign.

There’s been lots of comments about Liverpool players having no experience winning the league, which gives them a disadvantage vis-a-vis Man City players, especially in terms of facing the pressure of a title race. While I think this is utter nonsense, as shown by the amazing Reds last season, it’s still reassuring to know our awesome Liverpool players have actually tons of accumulated experience doing what it takes to win leagues and sustaining that pressure. Here’s a list of some of the league titles won by our current squad, which includes at least 17 pocketed league titles!
