Liverpool defender Martin Skrtel has hailed manager Jurgen Klopp as a 'winner'.

Klopp has made a very positive impression since his appointment as manager of Liverpool and as a testament to this fact, the German manager guided the Reds to a stunning 4-1 victory over Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday.

The former Borussia Dortmund boss has already impressed fans, pundits as well as the players with his impact and now Skrtel has gone on to state that the 48-year old's 'winning' mentality is also rubbing off on the players.

Speaking to the Liverpool Echo, Skrtel said: "You can see what a difference he has made. He's very good tactically and he gives players belief. You see his emotion on the touchline.

"He's a winner. He shows that every day in training and when it comes to the games. We wants us all to be the same - to be fighting for the team and fighting for the club and that's what we're all doing.

"It's not easy to come here and play like that against City because they have so many great players. But I think we showed on the pitch what we are able to do and how good we can be. The team performance was top class and now we need to carry on in this way."
