Liverpool legend Rush expecting Klopp influence to shine through next season

Published on: 28 March 2016

Ian Rush is confident Liverpool will really start to come good under Jurgen Klopp in 2016/17.

The Reds have shown signs of improvement under the German since he took over from Brendan Rodgers in October but Kop legend Rush expects things to get much better one the former Borussia Dortmund boss has a full pre-season with the squad and brings some of his own signings to Anfield.

"I think he has done very well so far," said Rush.

"But I think next season is when we will really start to see his work, when he has had a full pre-season with the players and another transfer window. I think then we will see Liverpool really kick on.

"There will be players he will want to move out and players he will want to bring in, and I think Liverpool will look to strengthen in every area of the squad.

"But this season is not over yet for Liverpool. I still think the top four must be the aim - and I think it is achievable. I said it at the start of the season and I still believe that now.

"We are still in the Europa League (against Dortmund), it is a difficult draw but I think the winners of that tie could go on and win it. So there is still a lot to play for this season."

Rush added: "I think he is beginning to realise the expectations among Liverpool fans but I think he has the fans on his side with the enthusiasm and passion he shows on the touchline.

"Hopefully it will all start to really come together next season."
