Chapter 1: What were the key moments in the Tottenham vs Liverpool match?
So James Milner from the spot got Liverpool into the lead, Dejan Lovren putting in a man-of-the-match performance, both now speaking to Jeff Shreves.
Dejan, James, it's a point, but how much is there a feeling that you should be going away from here with all three?
Yeah, I think ultimately we were disappointed, I think. We played well first half, second half we didn't do enough. Probably a fair result in the end, I thought. We deserved to be in front after the first half. They've come out second half.
Once we scored the goal, we didn't really get in the face as much as we had before that and on the front foot, which was disappointing, but it's a tough place to come.
It was also the turning point, the second goal, Mane's that didn't count was ruled offside.
Yeah, definitely. It's a disappointment that we didn't take the three points, but it was a good performance from everyone.

Chapter 2: How did Dejan Lovren perform in the match?
We had the ball a lot in our legs, so I think at the end it's a good point. It's tough here to play, so I'm always disappointed that we didn't take the three points.
But as James said, their goal obviously changes the scoreline, but did it change your mentality at all? Did you drop a bit?
Yeah, definitely. We dropped a little bit more second half than the first half. Philipp had a brilliant chance in the first half. I think if we went with 2-0 up, I think it would be a different game. But like I said, at the end, it's good.
James, with the pace of the game, just how difficult is it to adapt to playing a different position for you?
That's part of football, I suppose. You've got to learn quickly and that's the Premier League, fortunately enough. I've played in it for long enough to have enough experience and know what it's like. I've played in enough positions throughout my career, so it's just trying to learn as much as you can and, like you say, adapt to the new position.
It's not where you want to play, but can you still enjoy playing there and are you prepared to play there for as long as the manager wants you?
Yeah, I'm a Liverpool player and I'll do whatever I can for the team and if the manager wants me to do that, I'll do that.
Dejan, when you look at the opening three games for Liverpool, what are your thoughts?
Definitely, we are always a team who wants to win, so definitely we are not satisfied. But the good thing is, like I said, we're playing really well, we're creating a lot of chances, and it's just missing a couple of goals more.

Chapter 3: What were the thoughts on Liverpool's missed opportunities?
Three tough games to start with, four points. We probably should have had more, but I think you look at the performances, we're not too far away from hitting that level.
We've played pretty well in all of them, and I'm disappointed, but that's football ultimately, it's all about results, and as long as we keep performing and doing the right things and don't get impatient with it, I'm sure more results will come, and it's a pretty solid start to the season.
OK, well, Dier, you picked up the Premier League man, and that's James, you do the honours, please.
Thank you.
Great draw, fair result, or will Liverpool see this as a missed opportunity?
I thought Liverpool were fabulous at times again today. As James Miller just said, they've been away to Arsenal and away to Tottenham. Four points, should have taken that. I think they can feel they should have got three points today. I thought they were a better team if you examine the better chances. The player was, as we saw, 50% each in terms of possession.
And the better chances were for Liverpool today.
What do you make of Tottenham overall, Jamie?
They're still not quite, I watched the first game of the season at Goodison, they were fortunate to come away with a point there, I'd probably reiterate what Graeme's just mentioned, they're probably slightly fortunate to come away, I think Liverpool will be slightly disappointed they haven't got the three points, but you think how well Spurs played last season,

Chapter 4: How did the second half differ for both teams?
He's an all-round centre-forward. He did start slowly last year. Don't write too much into that this year. He's not got any goals. I think that's the living games now if you go back into the end of last season. Harry Kane will get goals. He's an all-round very good football player. And I think the problem is that it wasn't just with Harry Kainty.
I felt Lamella didn't get into the game and Ericsson didn't get into the game very much today.
Dembele, a big miss.
Yeah, I think so. We spoke about at the beginning when Yama and Dier were going to be two really good holding centre midfield players. That went out the window when Walker went off. But for me, a lot of Tottenham's problems just came because Rose wanders too much. He's got the fast-forward gear and he's got the jogging one coming back.
So I think when they examine that, they'll see all the problems first half and second half came down their left-hand side.
But Danny Rose got that all-important goal and he's alongside Jeff Shreves.
Danny, you spoke to us before the game about preparing for Liverpool's counter-attack and also taking your opportunities when they arose. So how do you think it panned out?
It's difficult. I think a draw overall is probably a fair result.

Chapter 5: What tactical changes did Tottenham make during the game?
To be fair, in the first half, Michelle Vaughan's probably our man of the match. She's made some great saves, just came off his line. and I thought we played a lot better second half, and I think a draw is probably a fair result.
Is that good planning from Michel Vaughan, knowing Mane's pace? Yeah, it is.
The goalkeeper coach, Tony, he trains the keepers like that, and we've got two outstanding sweeper keepers at the club, and when Hugo's not playing, it's great to have a second goalkeeper who can come in and do the job exactly like Hugo.
You took your goal extremely well. Was it a case of timing your runs, knowing when you could get into that advanced position?
Yeah, it was. I took a gamble. I didn't want to go forward too much today because the pace of Mane is frightening. I've managed to get into the back post. To be honest, I think I've shanked the goal, the old count, and I'm glad that he went in. Well done today. Thank you. Cheers.
Back a bit of honesty. We'll have a look at whether he shanked it or not in a short while. But, Jamie, where did the goal come from?
Well, if you look at the pattern for the full game, Tottenham, what they do is the full-backs, the whole team, they really spread out at times, and at times the full-backs are almost standing in winger positions, and that caused Tottenham massive problems right throughout the game. Graeme mentioned before, that's where all the problems come from Mane.
Mane plays very narrow, Liverpool's front three did, so at times he's actually running against Vertonghen and centre-backs. So that's the problem, and Tottenham did that. But if you actually look at the goal, you've got to see the flip side of that. And we see where both the starting positions are. If you actually look where Danny Rose is now, he's in a left-wing position.
Now, I'm not saying Mane should come back and mark him, because there's no winger there. That should be for Nathaniel Klein. But the problem is, it's a fantastic run by Lamele, dragged Klein, and so you have to credit Tottenham. It is a shank, we see that. But for Lamele, that's probably two points he's now got spares. It's very similar against Everton.

Chapter 6: How did Sadio Mane's disallowed goal impact the match?
Watch what he does. Look at the desire that he shows to help his teammates out. Gets back in there. That's brilliant play. That's what you want from your forwards. That's everyone buying into the Jurgen Klopp work ethic. And I thought he was fantastic. I really did. This is the big moment in the game. This is the game-changing moment. If Spurs had conceded this one and gone 2-0, I think...
Let me just take that back. I think it's game over. But you can see there, as I run it on slowly, there's maybe just gone offside Alam Lallana. You can see the linesman there. Hopefully you can see him with that. He doesn't put his flag up until he touches the ball. As he crosses it, there's Mane, 2-0, game over. He did a great job there, the linesman, from Tottenham's point of view.
But Mane was fantastic, and you can see so much already what he's offering the team. Jamie, thanks very much.
Graham, let's pick up on Daniel Sturridge. We know he's had this hip problem, but does he face a battle to get back into the regular starting XI?
He's got a mountain to climb. I think if you're talking about just sheer technical ability and an eye for a goal, he's above them all. But what he doesn't have, whether it's because his body... won't allow it. He's not perpetual motion. He's not high intensity. And you can see where Klopp's going with his team. Every outfield player has to be prepared to be buzzing for the 90 minutes.
And I don't think Daniel Serge can do that, or he doesn't want to do it.
I think that the problem Sturridge has got
there's two or three I think if you actually look at the way Liverpool are playing this season they're playing with one striker they're not playing with Firmino normally plays as a number 10 or at times as a striker so they're playing 4-3-3 Daniel is not a great wide player he's mentioned he doesn't really want to play there so if he's going for the striking position in big games I don't think he's going to play he plays I'm not a massive fan of Firmino as the lone striker against opposition Liverpool should beat
that you think a team they should beat doesn't have great presence or great pace they're getting behind but in games like today you go to arsenal you think of man city last season chelsea last season he's fantastic might sound strange thing to say at winning the ball back and liverpool then counter attack so he gets a few goals but he's not in your head a natural center forward in terms of getting behind people get lots of goals that you think of maybe a storage
