Martin Skrtel has praised Jurgen Klopp for giving the Liverpool players belief in the early stages of his reign.

Klopp guided the team to another impressive away win on Saturday as Liverpool cruised to a 4-1 triumph over Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium.

Liverpool have also beaten Chelsea and held Tottenham Hotspur away from home under the German, and Skrtel believes that his influence on the squad is clear to see.

"You can see what a difference he has made," Skrtel told the Liverpool Echo.

"He's very good tactically and he gives players belief. You see his emotion on the touchline.

"He's a winner. He shows that every day in training and when it comes to the games."

Liverpool are back in action against Bordeaux in the Europa League on Thursday.
