Philippe Coutinho: 'Liverpool still adapting to Jurgen Klopp's style'

Philippe Coutinho says that Liverpool are working hard "every day in training" to get used to a new style of play under Jurgen Klopp.

Philippe Coutinho has said that the Liverpool squad are still adapting to the style of their new manager Jurgen Klopp.

The German has overseen seven games in all competitions since his appointment in October, but he has only been able to win one of his four Premier League matches so far.

However, Coutinho has told the club's official website that the players are training hard in an attempt to turn around their fortunes on the pitch.

He said: "When you get new players, especially strikers, it is the job of all of the team to give them the service they need. I have to learn whether it is right to play a fast ball or a pass along the ground, depending on who I am playing the ball to.

"I have to adapt to them, but it's not only me who must do this. The training sessions are very, very important for this adaptation process to happen.

"We work on this every day in training and the sessions are very intense. If we're not doing it right, or something isn't working, we do it again and again until we get it right. The more you train with your team-mates, the more you learn about each other and this is important for the team to do well."

Coutinho has scored four goals this season and is joint-top of the goalscoring charts for the Reds alongside Christian Benteke.
