“In the end we were convinced he could play the position and that’s why we didn’t make the transfer”.

Liverpool visit White Hart Lane in the first game of the match week 3 at lunchtime.
“It is very hard”, Pochettino said afterwards, “we need time, maybe a few months, to put all the players on the same level”.
Liverpool are unbeaten at White Hart Lane since 2012 and have sort of emerged as Spurs’ bogey team in recent seasons.
“I wish we could have won it, but now we have to accept a point and that’s no problem because it’s Tottenham”.

Tottenham Hotspur came from behind to get a draw with the Reds, despite being outplayed by their opponents for large periods of the game, especially in the first half. In the second half we increased our level, our performance.
“We played not well but better – we competed a lot, which is important so I am pleased”.
“The effort was fantastic and the character we showed”.
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. “It is a good signal”, he said.
Jurgen Klopp isn’t content with one point as he believes his side deserved all three. “I think if we went 2-0 up it’s a different result”.
“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”.
Even Hull’s most loyal supporters would not have predicted such a start, many fearing early humiliation after a turbulent summer in which their manager Steve Bruce left and Mike Phelan took over in a caretaker capacity.
“They are a good defensive team so it’s very hard to create one chance, but we had a few”.
Eventually the Reds would score in the 43rd minute but it was less about Spurs’ awful defense (even though it was quite bad) and more about referee Bobby Madley calling a soft foul on Érik Lamela.
