Kevin Keegan: How Jurgen Klopp has transformed Liverpool since replacing Brendan Rodgers
Kevin Keegan believes Jurgen Klopp has made Liverpool more energetic
KEVIN KEEGAN believes Jurgen Klopp has transformed Liverpool by making them more “energetic” since taking over from Brendan Rodgers in October.
 
Klopp has lost just once in his opening eight games in charge at Anfield and has already won away matches at both Chelsea and Manchester City.
The German has managed that without key squad members including Jordan Henderson, Mamadou Sakho, Danny Ings and Joe Gomez being and Daniel Sturridge, who have all been on the sidelines injured.
And the former England manager insisted Klopp has already stamped his mark on the Reds by making them more energetic and strong.
 
"Klopp is a perfect fit at Liverpool," he told sc.qa.
"He has the character which Liverpool fans across the world relate to. You see a goal being scored and him going 'Yes' and celebrating with the players. He is a real players' manager.
"Before he took over, Liverpool needed to be a bit more energetic, strong and certainly more disciplined.

Martin Skrtel celebrates after scoring during Liverpool's 4-1 win at Manchester City
"Klopp's personality has contributed to Liverpool looking more energetic now, as seen from the win at the Etihad Stadium, where they took City apart.
"The win gives Liverpool supporters inspiration and gets the dream going again.
"That performance set me thinking whether the club is starting to play the sort of football their fans across the world want them to play.
"With his predecessor Brendan Rodgers that was not always the case. Liverpool weren't exciting enough, especially at Anfield where fans expect their team to go after visiting teams."
