Klopp confident ‘all will be good’ with Sturridge
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has insisted that Daniel Sturridge will get plenty of chances to play this season despite missing out against Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday. Tottenham’s recently signed striker has thus far this season played a much larger role than he or likely anyone at the club expected him to play.
The Liverpool Echo say Jurgen Klopp is adamant that Ings remains part of his plans for the season, even though he is yet to feature. “But for the game today, I made the decision that the kind of defending what it was and for what we needed”.
“I wish we could have won it”.
Klopp continued: “Yes I wish we would have won it, but now we have to accept the point and that’s no problem because it’s Tottenham”.
It was the worst of both worlds for Klopp last October. Simon Mignolet saved our lives then, now he had one brilliant save.
Milner stepped up to send Michel Vorm the wrong way from the spot only for Rose to equalise in the 72nd minute from Eric Dier’s cross.
“We have some players who are young who show good quality and need experience of the Premier league and they have opportunity to show this”. “They scored a goal and they could have won the game too”. We showed again we can be really good and that’s what we have to show in each game. In the end we have to accept [it]. It was a wonderful goal.
The England global has played for the Liverpool Under-23 side this season but is yet to feature in the first team set-up leading to speculation he could be on the move before the transfer window slams shut tomorrow night.
The 25-year-old met Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino over a proposed move to North London and was impressed with the Argentine’s proposal.
“And it was true that at half-time it was a deserved 1-0 to Liverpool and the second half we raised our performance levels”.
“I have spoken clearly to the player about that”.
Liverpool could still do with more mental quickness and calmness in midfield: a rudder in the vein of Dietmar Hamann, someone who can reset the team when whirlwind mode malfunctions.
