Rose helps Tottenham Hotspur earn tie with Liverpool

The 26-year-old has been on the field for just 67 minutes of Liverpool’s three Premier League games so far, but Klopp played down suggestions that Sturridge may have permanently lost his place in the team. We did it really good, we were flexible in offence, defending and played good football.

“If you look at our goalline chance in the first half – if we go 2-0 up it’s a different game”. “I think first half they deserved more but second half we deserved more”. They had some chances but not too much. We have to accept it, that’s what we do.

“When you take a point at Tottenham for 99 per cent of teams it would be a good thing but today we saw the game different”, the German lamented in his post-game comments.

The visitors did eventually find the breakthrough shorty before half-time when Erik Lamela clipped the heels of Roberto Firmino inside the area.

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has hinted the Reds will not buy a new left-back before the transfer window closes next week.

“I think Sturridge would like to [leave]”, Dunn said.

“Of course he still has to adapt and learn a little bit, because he has 500 games (of experience), but not in this position”. But it is about doing it against teams who aren’t going to play against us.

Last season away from home against the bigger sides, for example against Manchester City in a 4-1 win at the Etihad, it was Adam Lallana who was pushed into that attacking trio.

By comparison, Klopp felt like his ‘keeper only had to make “one good save” on this occasion – although he called it “a brilliant save” to deny Alderweireld – and said Liverpool were “more in the game” overall. “I would sign for that to happen again”.

The manager then reiterated that in the “moments and situations” which they created chances, the players “know they should score” as he criticised their failure to be clinical.

Spurs goalkeeper Michel Vorm produced a series of alert interventions to keep Liverpool at bay early in the game.

Pochettino refused to comment on Crystal Palace’s claim that they have rejected a bid from Tottenham for their winger Wilfried Zaha.

“Playing against Liverpool always is hard”.

“I’m very happy with my squad”. It’s insane, but I won’t complain. “The effort and character was fantastic”.
