'It felt like a depression here' - Klopp notes change in lively Liverpool

The German says the Reds needed a lift when he arrived three years ago and that approach has set the platform for their title push this season

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp says the atmosphere when he first arrived felt a “bit like a depression” and he employed his high-intensity pressing style in order to raise the mood around the club.

Klopp succeeded Brendan Rodgers as Reds boss in October 2015, leading the club to an eighth place finish in his first season in charge as well as reaching the finals of the Carabao Cup and Europa League.
