(Reuters) - Former England striker Alan Shearer has said Liverpool have made no significant headway under Juergen Klopp since the German replaced Brendan Rodgers as the Merseyside club's manager in 2015. Rodgers was sacked with Liverpool struggling at both ends of the pitch and Klopp's appointment was seen as something of a coup for Liverpool's owners, the Boston-based Fenway Sports Group. Klopp's success over seven years at Borussia Dortmund made him one of Europe's most sought after managers, but with Liverpool struggling defensively, former Newcastle United captain Shearer said he was no better than his predecessor. "The truth... is that Liverpool are no different under boss Klopp than they were under Brendan Rodgers," Shearer wrote in his column for The Sun newspaper on Monday, after Liverpool were held to a 1-1 Premier League draw at home by Burnley at the weekend. I am left wondering just what he does on the training ground when the same defensive errors are repeated week in, week out."
