Steven Gerrard has implemented a slight attacking change at Aston Villa that is very similar to Jurgen Klopp’s style at Liverpool<\/strong><\/p>\n
Former Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Jamie O’Hara has praised Steven Gerrard for his impact at Aston Villa in such a short time since his appointment. O’Hara also pointed out that the Liverpool legend has got his Villa side playing like Jurgen Klopp’s team already after just six matches in charge.<\/p>\n
Gerrard has had a pleasing start to life in the Premier League, notching victories against Brighton, Crystal Palace, Leicester City, and recently Norwich City. The former Rangers’ manager has lost to only Manchester City and Liverpool, the top two sides in the league.<\/p>\n
O’Hara believes that beyond the results, Gerrard has also added some style and substance to the Aston Villa playing style, one that is reminiscent of the playing pattern of Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool side.<\/p>\n
Speaking after Villa’s 2-0 win over Norwich City last night, O’Hara told talkSPORT: “Correct me if I\u2019m wrong, Villa fans, but I was watching the game tonight \u2013 and Gerrard\u2019s got them set up very similar to how Liverpool play.
\n\u201cThey\u2019ve got that front three. The intensity they\u2019re playing at. They\u2019re going after it. It\u2019s very similar to how Liverpool are playing under Klopp.\u201d<\/p>\n
