NEW YORK (Reuters) - Juergen Klopp has taken Liverpool on a rollercoaster Premier League title challenge this season and while it might end in disappointment, former goalkeeper Bruce Grobbelaar believes their German coach warrants comparison with club great Bill Shankly.
Victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers in their final match at Anfield will put them on 97 points, yet that will only be good enough for second if City win at Brighton and Hove Albion.
"From until Juergen Klopp I don’t think there’s anyone that can be talked about in the same breath as those two," said Grobbelaar, who played for Liverpool for 13 years from 1981. Grobbelaar, who also won the European Cup for Liverpool in 1984, said the current side are not far from building a squad capable of clinching their first league title since 1990.
