Jurgen Klopp has given further backing to Loris Karius and believes is goalkeeper can improve plenty after adapting to life at Liverpool .

Karius, a £4.7million summer signing from Mainz, produced his most impressive display for the club so far, making a number of saves in the 6-1 win over Watford – including denying Etienne Capoue in a one-on-one situation.

His hopes of a second Anfield clean sheet were dashed by Daryl Janmaat's low shot into the far corner, but Klopp was pleased with the 23-year-old's efforts – and believes there is more to come.

“Good, good,” Klopp said, when asked about his performance.

“I know everybody is expecting perfection from the first day when you come in as the new player, he can improve a lot, but he has all the skills we think we need for our goalkeeper.

“But of course being at Liverpool is quite impressive, playing in this stadium is quite impressive, we all expect at 22, 23, 24-year-old boys are ready for everything in the world.

“I know he can improve but he's already in a good way and with Simon (Mignolet), it's a really wonderful goalkeeper couple.”

As well as Mignolet, Klopp continued to pay tribute to the depth of his current squad after the Watford win.

Gini Wijnaldum came off the bench to score his first goal for the club, while Daniel Sturridge produced an impressive cameo, hitting the woodwork twice.

Lucas was also called into action to replace Dejan Lovren, who missed out with a virus.

Wijnaldum's goal made it 13 different goalscorers for Liverpool so far this season, something that pleases the German boss.

"That was the plan before the season,” he added. “It shows they all know where the goal is and try to score and do all these things.

"We played a really good match and had really good players on the bench today, we are in really good shape.

“You could see Danny (Sturridge) came on the pitch and had some outstanding good moments in this 20 minutes, he's in a good way. Alberto Moreno did really well (against Palace), Gini (Wijnaldum) was so close.

"The centre-backs, Dejan (Lovren) is ill, so it was a really close race between Ragnar (Klavan) and Lucas, and the young boys on the bench in a really good way at the moment.

“That's the only possibility, the only way which really worked, the only pressure allowed is the pressure we make ourselves with the performances, in training, and use them on the pitch. Until now it worked pretty well, but that's already passed.”
