Great words from klopp here

He's absolutely right, too often over the last 5 years we have torn our side apart and brought a whole new one in, then wondered why it didn't work? We need to have evolution not revolution, with klopp now in the job for a while and the players bought in to how he wants to play and us adding a few quality additions in key areas of weakness, goalkeeper centre back and hopefully at left back too, we can hit the ground running.
Everyone wants the 'marquee' signing, but klopp is right. Just because you haven't heard of a player doesn't make them bad, who had heard of kante before last season? Trust that in klopp he is assembling a side he believes can get us challenging again.

Lack of experience is still a bit of a worry though

Experience and age get confused imo.
Matip is an experienced player and an international, yet only 24. Lovren and Sakho are both experienced, Lucas, hendo, Milner are all experienced, sturridge is experienced. Lallana is experienced.
That's 8 just off the top of my head.

And those 8 have little experience in winning anything, leading a team, playing in the CL or euros or WC.
We lack experience

So what you mean is we need winners? Not experience.
The two are very different. Ashley Willian's is extremely experienced, but Kingsley Coman has won more. One is 32 and the other 20.
So do you want the winner or the experience?

You may know that I am not particular like Kloppo for some reasons but here is absolute spot on.
It's all about building a team and team spirit and of course injuries are a main factor that can influence a season.

I think I've declared this view before, and I will say it again: losing in the Europa Cup final was definitely not the end of the world. What would have happened on this issue if we had won? Jurgen, in my view, would have been forced to spend, large. Look what happened when we didn't, last time. Luis left for Barca, no real replacement was found, we bombed out of the EL.
Jurgens been given the time now. Let's see what he can achieve with who he buys. It's been 26 years since our last league success. After Leicester's last season anything can happen.
I'm not sayin we are going to win, or this season is our season balliks; it gives our manager, who looks as if he's defo with us for the next six years to achieve it his way.

So I guess he is actually saying "Next next year is our year?"

No savarok, he is saying this season we can challenge. Not next year, nor the year after - this year.
He's a manager who is confident in his, and his teams, ability. And he's not making excuses for why we might not do well this year, he expects us to challenge this season and will face up to it if we don't.
It's extremely refreshing to see a manager with that attitude in charge of Liverpool.

Well, they have at least two cup finals under their belt. And it's often said we learn more from losing than we do from winning.....
