Liverpool winger Jordon Ibe is keen to learn as much as possible from manager Jurgen Klopp as he introduces new ideas in training.

The 19-year-old scored his first goal for the club in the 1-0 Europa League win over Rubin Kazan in Russia on Thursday.

After the match Klopp said Ibe still had plenty of developing to do and the youngster is keen to benefit from the German's vast experience.

"He's a great manager, I'm delighted to be working with him," he told LFC TV. "He's showing me new things in training and obviously training is different now so I'm learning.

"Hopefully I can keep getting the experience I need and he can develop me into a good player. Everybody's doing well in training and we're just delighted as a group to be doing well now. Hopefully we can just keep winning games and make it a repetition now."

Goalkeeper Simon Mignolet kept his third clean sheet in six matches under Klopp and the Belgium international says players are benefiting hugely from his input having now registered three successive victories - all in different competitions.

"He has given the lads a lot of confidence and everyone knows what their job is - he is clear with his message," he said.

"Everyone is organised, everyone knows what they have to do and we don't give anything away. It's nice to win games, especially away from home, but there is no point flying high and thinking about things we can't do.

"We need to keep both feet on the floor, work hard and improve in training."

Meanwhile, Damien Comolli, Liverpool's former director of football, has told Sky Sports News HQ he would have liked to have worked with Klopp at Anfield.

"He is so charismatic. He brings so much energy to the club," said Comolli who left Liverpool in April 2012.

"I was at his first game in charge against Spurs and you could see something different. I was impressed again at Chelsea, I thought he brought confidence back to the team.

"The players, the passing they have, the sequence of retaining the ball as a team and positively as well, they didn't show for a long, long time. Not only did he bring that energy but he brought some confidence back to the players."
