John Aldridge says Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool would have learned from Sir Alex Ferguson and Man Utd

Former Liverpool striker John Aldridge says his current boss, Jurgen Klopp, has learned from his rival, Manchester United, and their title wins under Sir Alex Ferguson.

The Reds are currently in contention for the title with Manchester City. The maximum points are probably needed to give them a chance to win their first Premier League title.

One of the toughest hurdles in Liverpool between now and the end of the season, however, is distant, Klopp's players watching Tottenham at Anfield last weekend – and Aldridge writing in his Irish Independence column., says the events reflect those that United experienced under Ferguson.

"There was a fear factor badociated with teams from Alex Ferguson, Manchester United, who won the title, "said Aldridge.

"One of the key aspects of their success has slipped into the current part of Liverpool. One could see opponents visibly cracking when United claimed the winners of the end of the evening under the name "Fergie Time". This quality is now highlighted, Liverpool wishing to end their long wait for a Premier League title.

"There is no denying that Liverpool had the chance to beat a Tottenham team that deserved to score a point after Sunday's exciting game at Anfield.However, the famous old stadium had a feeling that Jurgen Klopp's team would find a way to win the game. "

This is not the first time this season that the Reds have recovered three points at the end of the match, which has been key to their success so far this season.

Aldridge went on to say that finding a way to win when you do not play well is the key to success when it comes to winning the Premier League title.

He added: "This Liverpool team has accumulated so many wins in games without having been at its best this season and again. Manchester City is now fully aware that this Liverpool team will go nowhere and that the pressure could be crucial as its hectic April months get warmer. "

Liverpool hopes to win the title until the end, with a return to action against Southampton, in trouble, at St Mary's, their next challenge.
