JURGEN KLOPP says three training sessions have been enough to see what needs to be done at Liverpool.

 

Klopp, 48, was appointed Reds boss last week after the club sacked manager Brendan Rodgers.

They sat 10th in the Premier League heading into today’s early afternoon clash at Tottenham, just a win off fourth-place.

 

And Klopp, discussing his first week in charge, was upbeat about his future on Merseyside.

“It was a little bit of a strange situation; normally you won’t change a manager with 12 points,” he told BT Sport.

 

“But yeah, there is enough confidence, it is not a very easy situation, but when we are together we only work.

“We only had three exercises together, but for the moment it’s enough.

“We want to be active, to show we are ready to change a little bit.

“We still have to work a little longer together but we have to take the shape we are in today, it’s not a problem."

 

Before kick off, Klopp said of managing his first game as Liverpool boss: "I feel excitement, I feel the pressure, I feel the opportunity.

“I feel it’s a bit colder here than in Liverpool, but everything is prepared and of course we are waiting for the first whistle."
