“I think if you’re just talking about sheer technical ability and an eye for a goal, he’s above them all”.
“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.
Danny Rose’s 72nd-minute equaliser cancelled out James Milner’s first-half penalty for Liverpool in a frenetic 1-1 draw at White Hart Lane.
And Spurs rallied to snatch a point as Rose drove a low shot through several Liverpool bodies to maintain his side’s unbeaten start to the season.
Milner directed a nerveless penalty into the bottom-left corner after Erik Lamela had been penalised for clipping Roberto Firmino right on the edge of the Spurs box.
Klopp’s first match as Liverpool manager coincided with this very same fixture last season, with neither side able to find a victor yet again.
Sturridge expressed his disappointment last week about being deployed about the wide during his side’s 2-0 loss to Burnley.
The Liverpool manager defended his striker after Sky Sports pundit Graeme Souness questioned the player’s future at the club. “Sitting here with four points after three games is not what I wanted but this is our base and we will build on this base”. We always want to win so we’re not satisfied.
“We’re going to need more players for different positions”, Klopp said, as quoted by the Liverpool Echo.
Liverpool and Tottenham starting lineups for the early English Premier League kick-off.
“I’m very pleased”, said Pochettino of his team’s overall performance. “It was a fantastic game for the neutral people to see today”. When you play a team who like to play on the counter attack you must take some risks. “The draw is a fair result”.
His counterpart Jurgen Klopp also felt that there were positives for his team.

Mauricio Pochettino has condemned the football calendar again as “crazy” as he prepares to say goodbye to most of his Tottenham first team squad for another global break. I’m really happy that we have him and he will play, he will score and all will be good’. In the 64th minute of the match, Mignolet showed his class once again as he made back-to-back saves to deny Lamela as well as Toby Alderweireld with world class saves.
