Even Before the kick of the ball, Kloppmania (thats whats the English press calls it) has taken over England.
Jurgen Klopp is set to take charge of his 1st match as Liverpool boss and already supporters of the club and England as a whole are already overwhelmed by the bushy beards, rugged jeans and
big glasses.
The two weeks international break has seen two of Liverpool’s first team players- Joe Gomez and Danny Ings – suffer season ending injuries. How Klopp will do without two of Liverpool’s most impressive players this season is a mystery.
FACT: Daniel Sturridge misses out on Jürgen Klopp’s first game in charge of Liverpool with a minor knee problem.
Liverpool have scored more than 1 goal in just 1 of their last 14 competitive fixtures.
Daniel Sturridge
Liverpool have hit the woodwork 96 times over the last five Premier League seasons, 20 more than any other side.
The following players are missing from Klopp’s first game in charge: Benteke, Firmino, Flanagan, Joe Gomez, Danny Ings, Henderson, Sturridge
Tottenham pick a straight forward ine up with the only chaanges being Danny Rose coming in for Ben Davies at left-back and Moussa Dembele replacing the suspended Eric Dier in midfield.
Liverpool XI vs Spurs: Mignolet; Clyne, Skrtel, Sakho, Moreno; Can, Lucas; Milner, Lallana, Coutinho; Origi.
Spurs XI vs. Liverpool: Lloris; Walker, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Rose; Alli, Dembele; Chadli, Eriksen, Lamela; Kane.
30′ Lallana finds Origi but the Belgian is quickly closed down by Lloris. Missed opportunity
27′ Lallana gives away the ball, Kane picks it and finds Clinton N’jie on the right. The Cameroonian’s outside foot shot is palmed away by Mignolet. Klopp applauds his goalie
26′ Mignolet does well to prevent a stray ball from going out for a corner
23′ Clinton N’jie has given the ball away more times than expected
22′ Tottenham now growing into this game
21′ Lamela vs Moreno already looking like a classic left-back vs right midfielder battle
19′ Walker tries to sprint past Emre Can but the German is quick enough
17′ Spurs are finding it hard to leave their half, Liverpool committing players forward. Will it pay off?
16′ Milner fouls Danny Rose. Referee gives him a talking to
15′ Lallana finds Origi who in turn finds Coutinho but his cutback is just behind Origi. Another missed chance for Liverpool
14′ Klopp has not sat down since the beginning of this match (kloppmania)
11′ Moreno is fouled by Lamela, Spurs being forced into mistakes here
10′ Clinton N’jie replaces the injured Nacer Chadli. N’jie joined from Lyon in the summer
9′ WOODWORK!!!! Emre Can heads Milner’s corner and Lloris punches it to the post, Lucas is there for a rebound but itss scrambled away
9′ Liverpool take their third corner of thee game
8′ Milner finds Lallana on the right but he is just offside. Liverpool have started confidently
6′ Liverpool already looking aggressive in the game. Milner fouls Nacer Chadli. Escapes a card
5′ Lallana tries a curler and forces a corner
4′ Liverpool have drawn five of their last six matches
3′ Liverpool pressing well and Lallana forces a corner off Alderweireld
2′ Origi fouls Verthogen
2′ Klopp’s Gengen pressing already showing face with the Red attackers pressing higher up the pitch
2′ Liverpool look like they are playing a 4-2-3-1 with James Milner on the left
1′ Liverpool gets us ontrack. Reality sets in for Klopp
