Jurgen Klopp reveals what he thinks is holding Liverpool back

Klopp's first 16 games in charge at Anfield have featured big wins against Manchester City and Chelsea, but a recent slump has seen the Reds win only one of their last five matches.

And despite a 1-0 win over high-flying Leicester on Boxing Day, the German manager believes he knows why he is struggling to implement his philosophy.

"The wind can be quite extreme in England," Klopp told German newspaper Bild.

But Klopp, famous for his high-energy pressing game, does not believe he has been blindsided by the pace of football in England.

"The English game is not faster than the German game," Klopp added

"Perhaps there are a few more sprints. 

"But there is a different style of football here, partially due to the weather."
