Iraola coaching 'reminiscent of Klopp'

Liverpool have shown "good signs" so far this season under new manager Andoni Iraola, says Liverpool.com journalist, Matt Addison.

The Basque head coach has undoubtedly improved the "poor" Reds side from last season - with four wins in seven matches across all competitions so far - and his coaching influence has become visible to supporters.

Addison told BBC Radio Merseyside: "I think there's still a lot of work to do, clearly, and I think if you asked him he'd be fairly honest about that but there's definitely been good signs.

"It will be tested by the amount of injuries but again that's not his fault the squad is too light. That's not on him, that's on the decision-makers at Liverpool who decided to go down that route.

"I think what we've seen he can influence in terms of his coaching; a lot of energy, a lot of intensity, a lot of younger players being trusted. Someone like Lewis Koumas for example, I don't think anybody, even the player himself, would have thought at the start of the summer that would be something that has happened. It is a little bit reminiscent of Jurgen Klopp.

"There's been good signs, there's a long way to go but when you consider how poor Liverpool were for the majority of last season, that's not a shock."
