Jurgen Klopp disappointed to only draw with Spurs
Tottenham and Liverpool share the points at White Hart Lane Tottenham rescued a point from their Barclays Premier League clash with Liverpool when Danny Rose rewarded a second-half fightback by firing the equaliser in a 1-1 draw at White Hart Lane.
“Our first real mistake and they score”.
Klopp’s side suffered a surprise 2-0 defeat by Burnley in their second game of the season despite having 26 shots on the promoted side’s goal.
This time at White Hart Lane, Lallana was deeper in the midfield three, while Mane returned to the starting line-up to reprise his role from the opening day win at Arsenal where he scored a fine individual goal.
Liverpool continued to enjoy a large share of possession in the first half, and got the breakthrough from the spot moments before the interval.
Man-of-the-match Lovren said: “It’s a disappointment that we didn’t take the three points but it was a good performance from everyone. As long as we keep performing and doing the right things, and don’t get impatient with it, I’m sure more results will come”, explained Milner.
This game was played at a breathtaking pace from start to finish. They’ve brought a few very good players in with the basis of their former squad.
“I wish we could have won it”.
A bad game overall saw Spurs salvage a point in the end, but there are four other talking points besides Tottenham’s on-and-off again approach with regards to their offense.
But he felt that there were “not plenty more chances” for “a football-playing team” and “a good side like Tottenham” at home, which Klopp believes says “a lot” about their defending.
The visitors did eventually find the breakthrough shorty before half-time when Erik Lamela clipped the heels of Roberto Firmino inside the area. I think I shanked it but it went in and they all count.
“We were convinced that he can play the position – that’s why we didn’t make a transfer in this position with another player”.
With Eric Dier and Victor Wanyama in the two central positions Spurs looked solid but cumbersome and couldn’t provide Harry Kane with the service he needed.
Game time for Saturday morning clash is 7:30 am and it will be streaming live in the USA on NBCSN and its platforms, including NBC Sports Live, as well as LFCTV GO and television coverage on Sky Sports 1/HD for the viewers living in the UK.
“The effort was fantastic and the character we showed”.
