Exciting Ibe looks like a new player under Klopp

The teenager scored against Rubin Kazan as Liverpool secured its first Europa League win this season, and he's looking promising again under the new boss, writes Melissa Reddy.

There was a period last season when Jordon Ibe had his markers tangled and terrified. He would not stop running at them, determined to give anyone who faced up to him hell.

That seemed a distant memory at the start of this campaign as the fearlessness which characterized his game faded in the toxicity surrounding Liverpool.

The end of 2014-15, especially the 6-1 humiliation at Stoke City, hung heavy around the club - as did the growing discontent from the terraces over Brendan Rodgers being kept on as manager.
