Jurgen Klopp will be considered a hero in Liverpool if he can help end the club's Premier League title drought.
That is according to former Reds goalkeeper Chris Kirkland.
Liverpool are currently eight points clear at the top of the league table.
Kirkland said: "Amazing. I've always been a Liverpool fan and my first game was when I was seven years old standing in the Kop. As a Liverpool fan, it's brilliant. It's exciting times.
"I think Jurgen deserves a lot of credit. Three or four years ago, there was a bit of negativity around the club, but he's brought the whole club back together.
"I go down to Melwood quite a bit and am lucky enough to watch the training. No matter who's down there, whether it's the person taking the bins out, someone cooking the food or washing the kit, he treats everyone exactly the same way.
"He's got so much time for everybody and has brought that feel-good factor back. The fans know that they adore him and they won the Champions League last year.
"If he can get us the league title for the first time in 30 years, he'll never have to do anything again in Liverpool because he'll be a hero. There's a long way to go. Sunday (the win against Man City) was a huge game and nine points is a big gap.
"But it's Man City you're talking about they pulled it back last year. But I'm hoping this is the year."
