Jurgen Klopp has been at Liverpool for some time now - just over four years - but one trait has been a near constant since his appointment was announced.
This season particularly, though, a pattern has emerged: the second period of most matches the Reds play are better than the first, both in terms of the performance and the result.
In recent games against the likes of Southampton and further back against Red Bull Salzburg, that has certainly been the case, with Klopp and his backroom team making tactical changes that have directly changed the course of the action and therefore the result.
Even against Shrewsbury, the young Reds scored their winning goal in the second half; Klopp was not present, but his tendency for tweaks and improvements at the interval have clearly been passed down.
In previous seasons, like against Stoke City in a game when the Reds came from behind to win and stay in Champions League contention, the same has been the case, with Klopp making changes at the interval and his players implementing them to perfection in the second 45 minutes.
If there is a problem to solve, Klopp and his team will do just that.
On the latest edition of the Poetry in Motion podcast, Neil Fitzmaurice and Caoimhe O’Neill spoke about how the pattern has emerged.
Fitzmaurice began: "One of the things I find phenomenal about Liverpool - and one of the main reasons they are in the position they are in now - is that he has to be the most influential half-time manager I have ever seen in my life.
"I don't think I can remember a Liverpool side worse in the second half than in the first under Klopp.
"I can remember us having poor first halves, but he seems to fix it every single time. There is so much more to Jurgen Klopp than hugging people."
O’Neill said: "I love that half-time feeling. Every fan who watches football, if their team is down, they go into half-time and say 'let the manager sort it out'. Jurgen sorts it out.
"I just enjoy half-time now because I know what will be going on in that dressing room."
Fitzmaurice added: "Saturday [against Southampton] was the prime example. The first half was a none event and second half it could have been 8-0."
Liverpool's players are currently away on their winter break, but will return to Merseyside next week to train ahead of their trip to Norwich City as their Premier League campaign resumes.
