Dalglish gives verdict on Klopp’s trophy-winning chances

Liverpool legend Kenny Dalglish has backed Reds boss Jurgen Klopp as the right man to lead the club forward.

Klopp has come under pressure early in the season as the Reds have made an indifferent start to their Premier League campaign.

Dalglish, however, thinks the German can end the club’s five-year wait for silverware.

He told the Liverpool Echo: “You’d almost think that Jurgen has been cloned to be Liverpool manager.

“He’s got everything that everybody had who has been successful at the club previously. Humility, enthusiasm, a strong relationship with the punters – he’s a good fit and a good guy.

“You’ll never get everybody but for me I don’t know where you would even contemplate getting someone else like that. We’re all right. This football club is in really good hands.

“I think it’s brilliant for us that we’ve got him, and I think in years to come, whenever he decides he is too old to manage, there’ll be a few pieces of silverware sat in the trophy room.”
