So...marks out of 10 for Klopp's first game in charge?
Defence: 8 - some dodgy moments BUT the different was that there was always someone to clean up. Mingolet seemed more willing to come for the ball and Sakho was immense. Skrtel still suffers from indecision but the whole team tracked back and helped out when needed.
Midfield: 6 - tried to play at pace and didn't really pay off with Can the exception. Some bright sparks with Lallana playing well and Coutinho trying to fashion some chances but telepathy with Origi just wasn't there. Milner was poor on the ball BUT they all worked hard on defence. Ibe was great for the few minutes he was on. Had the pace and freshness to match what they were trying to do.
Forwards: 5 - (basically Origi): He tried hard but showed why he is 4th or 5th choice. Excellent header at goal, hitting the underside of the bar and again, worked hard but needs more time which he may not get with Benteke, Studge and Firmino due back soon.
The approach: 8 - first 20 minutes Spurs wondered what had hit them as LFC gave them no time on the ball and forced usually assured players into mistakes. Had Sturridge been playing we may well have had a couple in those early exchanges but it was not to be. The frantic pace wore both Spurs and the LFC players down and the game fell into a game of force back for a while. Maybe the execution of the approach wasn't great (due to fitness and the fact they had 3 days to work with it) but I can see how well it will work if players can adapt.
Overall - 6.75 out of 10 - not bad for 3 days with a team, first clean sheet for 9 games and away at White Hart Lane against a Spurs team starting to grow in confidence. Overall a solid if not spectacular start but positive signs.
A blight on the night was the behavior of some Spurs fans at Four Kings - first time we've had issues and a bit of a shame.
I only saw the 2nd half but I thought Liverpool were much the better side, but Spurs were poor by their standard.
