Jurgen Klopp insists Andy Robertson is still adapting to Liverpool's style of play as the £10million left-back waits for his debut.

The Scotland international didn't even make the bench for the Reds' opening two matches of the season after Klopp opted to pick Alberto Moreno ahead of him.

However, Klopp says the 23-year-old is still settling in having only made the move from Hull City late last month and his chance will come.

"Whether he's overly happy, I didn't ask, but he's in a good moment," Klopp said.

"He has developed really well so far. He's a really good player but it's how it is with specialist left full-backs. You either play or it's possible you aren't in the squad.

"Everything is fine from my side. It's still early. He came in late and still has to adapt to our style of play and all that stuff.

"Things will change during the season and I've told the players that.

"I was a player myself a few years ago, it's not easy but it's much too early to think about this. It's a long season ahead.

"The rule is that if you train really good and work really hard, you improve and develop, then everything will be good at the end."

Klopp is relishing the prospect of Liverpool's first home game of the season against Crystal Palace on Saturday.

The Reds will go into it on a high having followed up last weekend's frustrating 3-3 draw at Watford with a precious 2-1 win over Hoffenheim in the first leg of their Champions League play-off in midweek.

Palace have won their last three visits to Anfield but new boss Frank de Boer endured a torrid start to his reign with a 3-0 defeat at home to newly promoted Huddersfield Town.

"We all need results - that's what it's about," Klopp added.

"I know Frank from his time at Amsterdam and we played Ajax with Dortmund. They were always a football playing side - really lively.

"In the Dutch League they were a very dominant team. I'm not sure that Palace have finished their ideas and development so we'll see what he brings in.

"They won't have been overly happy with their first game. We weren't really disappointed about our game - it was how the first game can be with a lot of things to improve. We could have won.

"For Palace, it was a little different losing at home and now they come to Anfield. They will want to strike back.

"I am really looking forward to Anfield. It was a long time ago that we played there.

"It's our place and it's where we want to be. It's Anfield and we need to show this."
