Adam Lallana sure Liverpool will win trophies under Jurgen Klopp

Adam Lallana has told Sky Sports that he is confident Jurgen Klopp will bring long-term success to Liverpool.

The Reds have made a push for the Premier League title this season and sat on top of the table for large periods of November.

The lack of European football at Anfield this campaign has given Klopp more of an opportunity to work with his players on the training pitch during his first full season in charge and Lallana believes the team are reaping the rewards.

"We have our own Champions League and the manager has quoted that," Lallana, who has been thriving in a deeper central midfield role since the start of the season, said. "He says, 'City are playing Barcelona tonight, so we have our own game.'

"So we have our own XI v XI and it's 100 percent. The manager doesn't do passive or 80 or 90 percent -- he does 100 percent. And the minute you're at 98 per cent, he knows and he'll tell you.

"If you're not training properly, then he says it won't work on a Saturday. One thing I do know is that if the manager is here for five or six years, we're going to win things. I feel confident we will."

On his form this term, Lallana added: "Maybe something genius has happened this year. I'm playing more of a central role, which puts less pressure on me to score goals, while last year I was part of a front three.

"Every week, fans are looking at the front line to score your goals, whereas this season I am playing deeper. I feel like I am getting the ball more and arriving into the box later, which is more unexpected and why I am getting more chances."

Lallana was recently linked with a move to Paris Saint-Germain, but the 28-year-old is adamant his future lies on Merseyside and that leaving has "never entered his mind."

"I love it here at the minute, especially since the manager has come in," the former Southampton man said. "We have each other's trust and you don't always get that at clubs. The thought of leaving Liverpool has never entered my mind.

"It's a great compliment to be spoken of in the same breath as a club like PSG with those sorts of numbers, but I'm absolutely loving my football at the minute under this boss and I can only see myself being here for the long term."
