Jurgen Klopp: “There’s no big mountain for Daniel Sturridge”

The Citizens have drawn Swansea City in the third round of the EFL Cup (formerly known as Carling Cup, Capital One Cup, Milk Cup!, etc.), which is scheduled to be played on the week of September 19.

“Daniel Sturridge is a wonderfully skilled player, but I made the decision based on the kind of defending that was important for Tottenham”, Klopp said. “In the end, we were convinced he could play the position and that’s why we didn’t make the transfer”.

“I’m really happy that we have him”. We have to accept the point and that’s not a problem because it’s Tottenham. Simon Mignolet saved our lives then, now he had one brilliant save.

Spurs goalkeeper Michel Vorm produced a series of alert interventions to keep Liverpool at bay early in the game. He will play and he will score and all will be good. Tottenham is not a game you win by four or five goals. “It’s a good team so hopefully we’ll choose different lineups for different games”.

Indeed, Barcelona has already been suggested as a potential destination in future and Carragher says the Reds must sign better players over the next 18 months to ensure they do not lose him. It was a wonderful goal. “I’m not surprised he can play there”.

Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino insists Kyle Walker’s substitution in the 28th minute due to illness had a significant impact on his team. They are led by Roberto Firmino, the centre-forward who sets the tone with his chasing and strength, and who won the penalty from which left-back James Milner scored in the 43rd minute. “We had to change a bit our plan and started to play with two strikers”, he said. They had some chances. but we are very pleased with the performance and the effort from the players.

Before then Mane was booked and was lucky to escape a second yellow later in the first half for a foul on Rose. We showed character today. “If you want to you can always talk to me about players who didn’t start”.
