Liverpool's Pepijn Ljinders: 'Jurgen Klopp's system beginning to show in games'

Liverpool coach Pepijn Lijnders says that Jurgen Klopp's system is beginning to show in games.

Liverpool coach Pepijn Lijnders has claimed that the players are beginning to grasp the system implemented by new manager Jurgen Klopp.

The German coach, who became Brendan Rodgers's successor earlier this month, is yet to guide the team to a win following three consecutive draws.

The former Borussia Dortmund boss was 13 minutes from claiming his first win when Christian Benteke's header gave Liverpool the lead against Southampton on Sunday, but Sadio Mane struck before the full-time whistle to earn a 1-1 draw.

Ljinders believes that it is only a matter of time before Liverpool start winning under Klopp as the manager's system, which includes attacking balance, counter-pressing and winning second balls, is beginning to come through.

"[It's] disappointing in the sense that Jurgen came in with a clear idea of how we wants to play and you see in the sessions and the games that it starts evolving, that the team starts developing to a common idea," Ljinders told the club's official website.

"Then you see that they are implementing the ideas, that they are trying to become more efficient and working together in a certain way, and then you get the goal. It's in the perfect moment, close to the end, and you think that finally Anfield [will see a win].

"So then it's disappointing that you get a goal against and especially from a cross coming in or a set piece - that would probably be the only way for them to score in the last 15 minutes. That's disappointing, everybody feels that, and that's a good thing by the way because it shows that we feel and know that we are good and the better team."

Liverpool's next game is against Bournemouth in the fourth round of the Capital One Cup at Anfield.
