Liverpool boss Klopp buoyed by Oxlade-Chamberlain performance against Man Utd

Jurgen Klopp is excited by the progress Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is making after his cameo performance against Manchester United on Saturday.

The England international has been resigned to substitute appearances since he made the switch from Arsenal to Liverpool on deadline day.

But the Reds manager says there is nothing for the 24-year-old to worry about.

"It was very good, I liked it! Ox is a big signing for us, an English international and stuff like this, but coming in and doesn't play regularly - I understand all the things, but everyone needs time, even Ox. He is cool, it is fine.

"With the different style of play, everything what is new is more intense for a new player. You are exhausted even in moments when you shouldn't be exhausted, but it's all about trying to adapt to all that stuff.

"We haven't had the time in training because already since he's been in there have been two international breaks, but that's all.

"When he came on, I think it was obvious it was a big step and I was really happy about this."
