“We made one mistake in and around the goal for their goal”, Klopp said. It’s hard to create one chance, we had a few. They have very good players.

“I wish we could have won it, but now we have to accept a point and that’s no problem because it’s Tottenham”.
“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.
Eriksen fired over from the edge of the area before Mignolet produced two fine saves to keep out Lamela’s free-kick and Toby Alderweireld’s header, as Spurs suddenly found some attacking impetus. Deputising in goal for Spurs again in place of the injured Hugo Lloris, Michel Vorm was frequently called into action.
The former Dortmund manager conceded that they need a few more additions to the squad, but insists that Milner’s proficiency in the position meant that they do not need a left-back this summer.
Liverpool thought they had wrapped-up the three points when Sadio Mane scored from close range only for the goal to be ruled out as Adam Lallana was marginally offside in the build-up.
“In the end we were convinced he could play the position and that’s why we didn’t make the transfer”. “Whatever I could say now would not change the result”. It was a wonderful goal. “It doesn’t feel too brilliant at the moment”.
“Actually, why should I think about something like this?”
Spurs were dealt a blow after 27 minutes when full-back Kyle Walker picked up an injury and had to be replaced.
Mauricio Pochettino said the 1-1 draw with Liverpool was a “fair result”, and praised his team’s second half performance.
“We played football and defended really good”, Klopp said. I make these decisions never against one player so I’m really happy that we have him and he will play, he will score and all will be good.
We knew Liverpool are a team that like to run into space.
Spurs saw some better chances in the second half as finally Mignolet was tested.
Once again Vorm made another similar clearance on 22 minutes preventing Mane from getting to a unsafe pass.

“The effort was fantastic and the character we showed”.
