da marjack bet： The German took charge of Liverpool for the first time on October 17, 2015 and his starting line-up at Spurs makes for fascinating reading…
da poker： Jurgen Klopp is the most successful Liverpool manager of the 21st century, having won six trophies with the Reds so far, including a Champions League and Premier League.
It's a remarkable record when one considers the club was in crisis when the German took over in 2015, shortly after Brendan Rodgers had been sacked.
Indeed, one look at the starting line-up for Klopp's first match, at Tottenham on October 17, 2015, shows just how far Liverpool have come since his arrival at Anfield.
With his tenure as Red boss concluding at the end of the 2023-24 season, GOAL looks back at which players featured in that 0-0 draw in north London, and where they are they now.

The Belgian goalkeeper joined Liverpool from Sunderland in 2013 and played for the club for six seasons, even lifting the Champions League trophy in 2018-19.
He then joined Belgian top-tier side Club Brugge in 2019 and continues to ply his trade at the Jan Breydel Stadium, having won the league title three times in a row.
Meanwhile, Brazilian goalkeeper Alisson is the man between the sticks at Liverpool these days and it's probably fair to say Klopp got himself a decent upgrade!

A Crystal Palace youth product, Nathaniel Clyne made his professional debut for the club in 2008 and spent four seasons at Selhurst Park.
He then played at Southampton for three years before earning himself a move to Liverpool in 2015.
He made an encouraging start to his Anfield career, as he instantly became their first-choice right-back, but a back injury halted his progress, leading to him losing his starting spot.
Clyne spent time on loan at Bournemouth in 2019 before eventually returning to Palace in 2020.
Klopp's first choice at right-back nowadays? A certain Trent Alexander-Arnold…
GettyCB: Martin Skrtel
The former Slovakia international played at Liverpool for eight seasons – from 2008 to 2016 – and became a bit of a cult hero at Anfield due to his heroics at the back.
After leaving the Reds, he moved about, joining Fenerbahce, Atalanta and Istanbul Basaksehir, before signing for Spartak Trnava in 2021 to wind down his career in his home country.
Skrtel was very much the Virgil van Dijk of a previous era, although not quite at the same level obviously. Then again, who is?!

The French defender was widely regarded as one of the rising stars of French football in his younger years and joined Liverpool from PSG in 2013.
He was never really an undisputed starter at Anfield but sure knew how to make headlines.
There was a clash with Brendan Rodgers after he was benched for the Merseyside derby against Everton, an infamous doping case which he eventually won, thus completely clearing his name, before a bit of rule-breaking under Klopp.
All this eventually led to his departure to Crystal Place but he eventually moved back to France, joining Montpellier in 2021. He left Montpellier in November 2023 and was still without a club in January 2024.
An interesting character for sure, but not quite a Liverpool legend!
