Their lead may have been established from the penalty spot, James Milner converting after Erik Lamela had clumsily brought down Roberto Firmino, but Liverpool’s general play before the break meant they were worthy of their half-time advantage.
Meanwhile, Milner and Dejan Lovren felt Liverpool let an opportunity for three points slip away at White Hart Lane.
He said, per Liverpool’s official website: “I still feel a little bit disappointed, [even though] we took a point against Tottenham”.
“We made one mistake in and around their goal and they also had a header from Alderweireld and a wonderful save from Simon”.
To make matters even worse for Sturridge, his teammate Divock Origi was introduced into the action ahead of him and the 26-year-old saw just five minutes of action when brought on in the 87th minute.
Would you play Daniel in our next game at home to Leicester? “I think first half they deserved more but second half we deserved more”.
“Winning at Arsenal and drawing at Tottenham, there are positive signs but if you look at last season we didn’t struggle against teams at the top”, Milner told The Liverpool Echo.
“But we can’t make anyone [else] responsible for the draw”.
“We need time, a few months, to get all on the same level”. “I was very pleased [with our reaction]”, Pochettino said in his post-match press conference.
“I am a Liverpool player and what the manager asks me to do I will do”.
“He still has to adapt and learn because he’s not had 500 games in this position but we will work on it, like we work on every player”, Klopp went onto say.
Midfielder Mousa Dembele is suspended and captain and No. 1 Hugo Lloris remains out with a hamstring problem, meaning Michel Vorm continues in goal. They had chances to win the match but we played much better.

“It’s more learning the position from training and watching videos after the game, looking at distances from the centre-half, getting out to the wide man quickly, things like that”.
