The Frenchman joked that he is delighted to stay as a Scouser, saying that he will give his 100 per cent to the club throughout his period on Merseyside.
Spurs survived a scare to claim a 3-1 home win over Qarabag, while Liverpool were held to a 1-1 draw by Bordeaux in France. Adam Lallana scores. I felt so sorry for him but I had to be ready to help the team.

“Obviously Mamadou is suffering from this situation because he is a competitor and it is frustrating for him“, Deschamps said. “It’s ensuring that we take those risks in order to create in the game and bring that intensity to the game“. Liverpool were criticised for their bad passing display at Old Trafford.
But it was asking a lot for a team of such inexperience to produce a dominating performance and great responsibility lay on the shoulders of Philippe Coutinho and the fit-again Lallana.
“It was disappointing to have another setback, but these things you have to deal with as a footballer”. “We have to recover well in the next couple of days and focus on that now”. But Liverpool will be playing in the Europa League and have weeks where there will be three matches, so he will have more chances to play.
Lallana was impressed by how Liverpool’s young guns stepped up to the mark in Bordeaux. The manager said well done to me afterwards but I know I have to keep going. “We have a very good young team, and we showed in Bordeaux we are good for the future”.
Pedro Chirivella was naturally ecstatic after making his first competitive appearance for the Reds. I thought he was brilliant in the game and that’s what we want.

“I’ll always give young players an opportunity if they’ve got the personality”, said Rodgers.
