“Lovren, Lambert, Lallana and now Clyne, it was a very hard period for them when they arrived, with Brendan not in a good position and now he has left the club”.
Meanwhile, Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino has won the manager of the month award after guiding the London outfit to three wins in four games, including a sensational 4-1 win over Manchester City.
Statistics show Tottenham have out-run all of their league opponents this season, although Pochetinno conceded that distance covered was not as important as winning goals.
A well-known football romanticist, he said that football is a “fantastic game” for how spectacular it can be in that it is “fast, hard and everything” but said it “doesn’t work” without faults.
“It is true that our style is press and run and solidarity, being a unit”.
“I’m not saying one is better than the other, just that we are different”. It is a very good balance.
He has made three appearances in the Premier League and scored the only goal in their 1-0 win over Crystal Palace at White Hart Lane last month.
“Always it’s a problem when you have a few players in this situation but we have a big squad, I trust in all players”, Pochettino said.
“So it is odd to compare Klopp’s style with my style, they are different”.
Despite pleading for patience for signs of progress and improvements last week, Klopp added that they can be “very well organised” defensively as best as possible “in a short time”.
“The Premier League is very tough and he came from League One and he adapted himself in a very good way”. Pochettino believed he was the jewel in the crown.

The Tottenham Hotspur midfielder came off the bench to feature in both games, and his manager has predicted a bright future for the 19-year-old – if he keeps progressing in the same fashion.
