Liverpool's Adam Lallana: 'Jurgen Klopp will not change us overnight'

Liverpool midfielder Adam Lallana has claimed that new manager Jurgen Klopp will need time to implement his own style on the team.

The Reds could only grab a 1-1 draw against Rubin Kazan in the Europa League last night, despite playing against 10 men after 36 minutes at Anfield.

Klopp's first Premier League game in charge ended in a goalless draw against Tottenham Hotspur at White Hart Lane, and Lallana insists that patience is required.

"It was never going to just change overnight," Lallana told the Liverpool Echo. "Maybe the reaction to him coming in was a bit over the top but he's a great manager who has had great success.

"He's asking people to do different things to what they were used to so it will take a bit of time. I think in his first two games you have seen glimpses and moments of the style he wants to play. I am enjoying it.

"It's not going to happen overnight, but I'm very confident we're going to succeed under him. The fans here demand success here and we want to give them that."

Liverpool's next game is against Lallana's former club Southampton on Sunday.
