“He’s now made three games”.

James Milner, playing in the unfamiliar position of full-back, rifled home the opener from the penalty spot before Sadio Mane unjustly had a goal disallowed for off-side as the Reds pushed for a second.
“I still feel a little bit disappointed, [even though] we took a point against Tottenham”, the German said after the game. “The only decision we made is that Milly can play it, especially in the kind of play we think we should play”.
Next up for Tottenham, who have moved onto five points in the Premier League table, is a trip to Stoke City after the worldwide break on September 10, while Liverpool will host Premier League champions Leicester City on the same day. “We showed again that we can be really good and that’s what we have to show in each game and then everything will be good”. This says a lot about our defending. Klopp pointed out that Spurs would always have chances and so it proved that Danny Rose scored with 18 minutes left.
“We played against Liverpool, and we need to show respect to the players that played”.
“For a game like this, with the speed Liverpool have up front and us playing a high line, you know you have to be ready as a goalkeeper. As long as we keep performing and doing the right things, and don’t get impatient with it, I’m sure more results will come”, explained Milner. We had wonderful moments of passing and direction. “Wish we would have won it, but we have to accept a point”.
“I am happy to see a great game. Then everything will be good”.
Everton continued their unbeaten start when they overcame Stoke City 1-0 thanks to keeper Shay Given’s own goal. “If you [give] offensive advantage, it’s not offside, 100 per cent”, he said of the Lallana decision. “We decided that Milly can play (there), especially with the style of play we think we should play”, said the German.
Daniel Sturridge is a wonderfully skilful player.
“I am a Liverpool player and what the manager asks me to do I will do”. Since the start of the last campaign the England global has scored 24 goals in 27 games with the midfielder starting compared to only one goal in 12 games without him.
Klopp admits his side’s position is far from desirable, but is remaining optimistic at this stage of the campaign.
