Charlie Adam has revealed why he believes working with Steve Clarke will help the Liverpool squad improve both as a collective and as individuals.

The midfielder admits his fellow Scot is one of the best coaches he's been trained by in his career and feels the 48-year-old's methods on the Melwood training pitches are having a big impact on the field.

Adam told LFC Magazine: "No disrespect to the people I've played with before, but I think the quality of players here is so high. The standard of training is superior too.

"I'd heard about Steve Clarke before I came here and I knew by his record that he was highly rated.

"He's been at some top clubs and been successful.

"He's a very good coach and, as time goes on, we'll get better thanks to his methods.

"I think working with him helps us to become better individuals and a better group."

 He added: "I really do feel there are good times ahead here if we continue to work hard.

"We need to just focus on the next game and we'll be okay. We also need to enjoy it too, because that's part of it as well."
