Jurgen Klopp believes Alberto Moreno can serve as the perfect example for Andy Robertson as the Liverpool new boy looks to make his mark at Anfield.

Robertson has had a slow start to his Reds career since his £10m summer switch from Hull City. The Scotland international has made just three appearances so far, the last of which came in September.

Moreno's form, a surprise to many given the Spaniard had looked to be on his way out of the club in pre-season, has seen him nail down the left-back spot, impressing many in the process. The 25-year-old is even in line to win his first international cap for three years on Saturday when Spain take on Costa Rica in Malaga.

Asked whether Moreno had 'won the fans back', Klopp said: “Yes, because the players can always do that.

“If they have the quality they can win the fans back because we have no real idea about the games four or five weeks away or in the past. We are easy to convince in the moment.

“He did it now consistently which is really nice. I am happy for him because he had a very difficult situation last year. That’s how it was.

“We spoke before the last season what we wanted him to do differently. He needed a bit of time and now he is doing well.

“Hopefully he can do well in the future again because that’s how you show consistency. He has done that so far but that is the challenge for him and the guys in the future.”

Klopp has been consistent in his message that Robertson needs time to adapt to life at Liverpool – but he believes Moreno's is a path to follow for the 23-year-old.

“It’s the exact same situation for Andy Robertson,” he said. “People will say ‘why do you do that? Because he is here and not playing?’

“Because he has to learn. But there is no problem. We are in conversation, talk about it and he has to improve.

“As long as the other players are doing like this. Alberto is like a little machine, he never shows when he is tired and stuff like this. Andrew has had a little less rhythm. So you think now, okay, he will have a game with the national team and come back. We will have a little internal game then and that’s good for Andy.

“So he’s on a good way, a really good way. It’s going well apart from maybe he is not happy he cannot start so often as he would have thought from the beginning.

“But it’s all about improvement and then to be ready for the moment you are used.”

Robertson played the full 90 minutes as Scotland were beaten 1-0 by Gini Wijnaldum's Netherlands at Aberdeen on Thursday night, and will return to Melwood this weekend hoping to be part of the squad for Liverpool's next game, at home to Southampton on Saturday November 18.
