Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard is impressed by manager Jurgen Klopp and his staff.

The LA Galaxy midfielder returned to Merseyside during the MLS off-season and maintained his level of fitness at Melwood.

"It's difficult to compare the team I left with the team now as it's a new manager and a completely different coaching staff," Gerrard told the Liverpool Echo.

“Having trained there for a couple of weeks, I'm excited, upbeat and positive.

“I was a big fan of Klopp before he came but having been around him for a couple of weeks and seeing how he is with individual players and his tactics and how he goes about the job, I think that given time and with a bit of patience and time to add to the XI and the squad you can get excited."
