Liverpool Solid But Missed Opportunities Hurt

Tottenham Stadium
Liverpool were solid, showed potential, but failed to capitalize on a chance to snatch victory away at Tottenham. Spurs fans would have rejoiced with a late equalizer and another great save to deny Liverpool victory, but it was a tight match between two top-4 contenders that produced a fair result, which leaves Liverpool on four points from three outings.

The result could have been very different. The result, 1-1, also suggests some solid defensive efforts. Some strong points included a good passing game and the creation of chances in front of goal, but it is the conversion of these chances that will define a campaign. Coutinho‘s miss early in the first half, a poorly timed pass from Wijnaldum which meant that Adam Lallana was called for offside, also denied Liverpool a great potential goal on the counter-attack. There were several of these that could have ended differently throughout the match for Liverpool.

Klopp was philosophical about the match, stating that a draw away at White Hart Lane is normally a solid result, however he didn’t shy away from the obvious fact that the three points were there for the taking.

Break-Even Start to the Season

Tenth position in the table is probably fair with top of the table teams like Chelsea and United having cruised to three comparatively straight-forward victories, though the Reds have already played two top teams while the likes of United have faced Hull, Bournemouth, and Southampton. With a break for internationals, the road ahead doesn’t get any easier with Leicester City up next.

Sturridge Absent

Daniel Sturridge was a notable omission from the starting lineup, however it seems as though Klopp has elected to start him in certain matches and not others. This was a tough away-game that would have required a high work rate, so with injuries taking a toll on Sturridge’s body and abilities, it’s understandable that he is used only in the right situations.

It's always fun to watch a game, especially if your team wins. If your team lost, still wear a smile and chill. It's not the end of the world.
