Tomorrows game against Chelsea is the first of 9 league matches over a space of just 36 days, a game every 4 day's. With tomorrows game (on paper) by far the hardest.
This represents a terrific opportunity, over a relatively short period of time, to
re-establish some momentum to the season and league position improvement, this on the back of a hoped for new manager bounce.
Seemingly the revolution has already begun as Rangnick has gained access to videos of training ground sessions, he wants to produce in depth analysis of the squad from all camera angles.
Also the infamous and very visible countdown clock is to be introduced, (sadly no Rachel Riley to solve the problem) 8 seconds to win the ball back and a further 10 seconds to get a shot on goal. As the players will hear the countdown clock it should introduce a sense of purpose to some and a sense of blind panic to others. Bring it on!
As Blackadder would say, I am as excited as a chap who is quite excited.

Really looking forward to see how this style and how the players develop.
It will take a while but we are at last looking forwards.

It's a bit of a baptism of fire in many ways. Very hard to do significant work on the training ground when you play every 4 days. At best you get two days worth of training in-between games.

That said a lot of what Rangnick will be working on is in the players minds. Getting them to understand his system.

Players as would I. Will appreciate this.
It gives you a goal.
An identity.
We all need this
In all walks of life.

True, but as Klopp pointed out he won't get a lot of time to coach with the schedule we have in UK. Stories leaked that the squad thought training under Ole was too easy and boring, maybe they will be ready for new ideas and intensity, let's hope so.

He has his work cut out just getting AWB to understand positioning, that's before he addresses his attacking and crossing skills. I imagine that's a few hours a day and that's only one player.

It must be a pep up for the players. I personally grafted a little harder these last couple of days!

I shall be looking for performance and style. Hoping for, but not actually expecting a win.
