Liverpool
It’s been a bumpy ride for Rodgers this season who to begin with looked to have lost the spark of last season’s thrilling title charge with some terribly dour performances and summer signings that looked far off the mark.
The mid-season resurgence and battling performances shown to get back in contention for the Champions League places shows what an adept manager Rodgers is tactically with his formation change the catalyst to Liverpool’s revival.
But yet another subsequent dip in form has left question marks on whether the Northern Irishman is the man to mount a consistent and prolonged title challenge and whether he has the skills to lead a side to the top of the game.
Klopp’s CV proves he can do just that and whilst the form of Dortmund this season will clearly be a worry, it seems to be the anomaly rather than the norm.
