Be prepared for a rough transition. I know it will be difficult to support a club who doesnt automatically win trebles every second year, but you can do it!

haha, by no means am I becoming a LFC supporter, just curious to see how Klopp does, the same way I am following Manchester United this season only because of Bastian Schweinsteiger.

Klopp saying in his first press conference that he wants to play a "transition game". Even asked for the translation of the German word "Umschaltspiel" to describe a playing style that emphasises on the two transition phases. 
Tbf to him, there's actually no such word for that in the tactically inferior Premier League.

He could simply just do it like "Gegenpressing" and import that word.
I'm serious, if he starts saying it, then it will become a thing and at some point "Umschaltspiel" is entering an english dictionary and the english football universe has learned a thing about football..

Pretty bold statement to talk about winning the pl in four years. Good luck to them but I can't see that happening tbh

He didn't specifically said he's going to win the League title in 4 years, but rather any trophy. Which could be the League Cup, or the Europa League this season after winning the final against Borussia Dortmund.

Indeed Dr Pepper, what's the worst that could happen

There's already great foreign managers in the EPL, such has been the case for the better part of decade, and while Klopp is a genius on many levels I don't know that his brilliance is such that he'll be able to change the culture of English football anymore than they have. The vast majority of English speaking casuals prefer the "high-paced", "back and forth" football of the EPL and therefore broadcasters do too. He'll bring some strong elements to the league and may even challenge for a title here and there, but I don't foresee either the English hierarchy: City, Chelsea, Arsenal, United... Liverpool-Tottenham, nor the core of its football changing too drastically.

Yeah, a league cup or Fa in 4 years isnt unrealistic.

That obviously is only true for those of higher age and/or lesser education, just like in every other country, I'd say. Generally, the level of English competence in Germany is rather high though, still not equal to Holland, or the Skandinavian countries ofc, which has a lot to do with the better education systems there as well as the habit that no one dubs movies, whereas in German, you will probably find the best dubbed movies you can find regarding the quality of the speakers, who are usually actors themselves and regularly dub the same more pupular Hollywood actors so that there is a sense of recognition. Anyways, back to LFC and Kloppo
