The Reds promising start to the campaign has petered out in recent weeks, with their free-scoring forward line struggling to find the net and their defence making repeated mistakes.

Just one win from the past four matches has seen them slip to seventh in the Premier League – and a Sadio Mane injury has heaped on the problems for Klopp.

And since he joined from Borussia Dortmund two season ago, he has won less games than Brendan Rodgers did in the same time period.

But Dalglish urged fans not to worry.

Liverpool legend Kenny Dalglish has backed Jurgen Klopp to succeed

“I think he’s a perfect fit for the football club,” he said.

“I think he can relate brilliantly to the fans and the fans can relate to him.

“I think we’re moving forwards and upwards since he’s come in.

Dalglish racked up over 500 appearances for the Reds

“He may be criticised for the goals he concedes but his philosophy has always been to score more goals than the opposition so I think that’s what the fans want to see.

“Between now and May I think there will be a lot more smiles than there will be disappointments.”
