LA Galaxy midfielder and Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard said it was important to give manager Jurgen Klopp time at Anfield.
When the German took over in October he told owners Fenway Sports Group he believed the squad was good enough for him to work with immediately with no major changes.
But Gerrard, who made the jump to Major League Soccer this past summer, said he thinks it is too soon to expect Klopp to have the team exactly where he wants them.
"I think it's a bit early," Gerrard said during MLS media day. "I think we need to give Klopp a couple of transfer windows and more time and maybe a full preseason with the team to get used to each other and get his stamp on the way he wants to play and his tactics.
