Former Newcastle boss Sam Allardyce is impressed by Jurgen Klopp's backing of Liverpool's young players.

However, he admits a change of manager could also mean a change of approach. Klopp will leave at the end of the season.

Allardyce told William Hill: “Jurgen Klopp leaving Liverpool is a sad thing.

“The new coach is going to be younger, less experienced and whether he will have the same nerve as Jurgen to give the academy lads a chance remains to be seen.

"When he watches them train, he might think they're good enough, but there could be a spell with the new manager where he doesn't give the youngsters the opportunity to thrive in the first team.

“Jurgen has the confidence to play the academy lads and it is starting to look a bit like the Class Of '92, because there are so many of them!"
