Jurgen Klopp’s first month at Liverpool: Highlights and lowlights

Liverpool supporting fans here inside the Football Transfer Tavern can not believe what they are reading in the Express via SportBild – with the publication claiming that Liverpool are planning to lure Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski to Liverpool.

The next big test will be how well the German can cope without Danny Ings, Mamadou Sakho and Joe Gomez, as well as those absent for shorter periods like Daniel Sturridge.

“He has improved us a lot”.

“He’s just said to me to keep my head down, keep working hard and obviously we’ll just see what the future holds”, he said.

The 23-year-old has played 31 times for Barcelona since joining from Borussia Monchengladbach in 2014, including last season’s Champions League final, but only four of those games have been in La Liga.

Rush is still confident that Liverpool can achieve that, which he thinks will act as a good springboard for them to hit further heights.

But expectations are one of the most important things we have to talk about. I told myself: “‘You have become a better player.’ Then I realised why the coach had asked me to play as a No.10; he made me a more complete player”. That is the problem.

“That is what we can learn and it feels so bad because it was so absolutely not necessary”.

“I have to learn whether it is right to play a fast ball or a pass along the ground, depending on who I am playing the ball to”. Sakho visited a specialist in Liverpool on Tuesday and the club has confirmed it will be six to eight weeks before the 25-year-old is available again.

The 19-year-old has a bruised knee which it is understood will prevent his participation with the national side but should not rule him out of contention for Liverpool’s Premier League game at City.
