Jurgen Klopp: 'Brendan Rodgers taught players to play'

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp admits that former boss Brendan Rodgers taught the current squad how to play football and he only needs to tweak things at the club.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has praised the work of Brendan Rodgers, claiming that he has only needed to make a few changes to improve the team's form.

The Reds are unbeaten in six games in all competitions under the 48-year-old's guidance, and Klopp admitted that he tried to remove the fear factor that had crept in under the previous regime.

Klopp told reporters: "What I said at the beginning is that you have to turn the small screws, and that's what we're doing at the moment. Brendan did a really good job and there's a good base here because of Brendan's work.

"I didn't have to teach the players how to play football. Brendan's work had done that.

"A little bit of stability is very important for offensive play. You feel free when you know that not every chance for the opponent is going to be a goal."

Liverpool host Crystal Palace at Anfield in the Premier League tomorrow afternoon.
