Former Liverpool defender believes the Reds' point against Tottenham Hotspur could be 'important' as he thinks Manchester City could do the same.

Following Liverpool's disappointing 1-1 draw against Tottenham, LFCTR take a look at the tactical breakdown in a match that has all but ended our race for ...

Luis Diaz was the only player that showed how to get at the Tottenham wall and the manager failed to see that. We saw clearly what Tottenham's approach to the game was and that's where Jurgen Klopp should've changed the way the team attacked. When the team did shoot on goal, it was after taking an extra touch or to the detriment of passing to someone in a better position. Liverpool played the hands of Tottenham, as they could stand up and clear the ball for another 90 minutes. We knew we had to play against the low block. It was clear what the manager's instructions were to his tireless defence and it worked.

Liverpool could only manage a 1-1 draw with Tottenham on Saturday night to hand Manchester City a significant advantage in the race for the Premier League ...

Their penultimate top-flight game is against Southampton and they will host Wolves on the final day, completing what seems to be a favourable run-in. That is why the quadruple is so unlikely, there is a reason nobody has done it in this country. "I'm not happy, but not as sad as the players are right now and it is my job to explain why something happens like this," Klopp told BBC Sport. "Harry Kane and Heung-min Son were completely rested, that is why it is so hard.

A dogged defensive display earned Spurs a 1-1 draw at Anfield on Saturday, a result that took Liverpool top of the Premier League on goal difference. Yet come ...

"On the other hand, I think maybe we have to be a bit disappointed. But it's not me," Klopp added. "I am sorry, I am the wrong person to ask [about Spurs' defending] because I don't like this kind of football," Klopp said. "Liverpool is one of the best teams in the world at the moment, so sometimes we need to defend," Son told BT Sport. I have seen, in the eyes of my players, disappointment because we had the chance to win the game." on goal difference.

Jermaine Jenas has criticised Liverpool superstars Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane for their performances against Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield.

Usually those crosses you see being picked out, they just looked disconnected. The former Tottenham midfielder and MOTD pundit believes that Liverpool forwards Salah and Mane could not do anything of note against Tottenham on Saturday evening. Jermaine Jenas has criticised Liverpool superstars Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane on Match of the Day on BBC One for their performances against Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield.

When it comes to Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mané, Roberto Firmino and Naby Keïta, Edwards has left far more to do than simply dotting the 'i's and crossing the 't's.

Van Dijk is one of the best around: he has to be, given the aerial bombardment Liverpool routinely face. Nevertheless, the 21-year-old’s unlikely stint in the Liverpool first team showcased a lot of traits in common with the Dutch colossus. There is no need to sort a transfer — a better fifth-choice would be very hard to come by, and if Williams continues his development then he may ultimately move up that pecking order. Like Alisson, Kelleher is comfortable with the ball at his feet, and has impeccable sweeping instincts to support the high line. One thing learned from Kelleher is that Klopp needs his understudies to share stylistic traits with the players for whom they are deputising. However, one of the least-discussed transfer decisions is actually one of the most interesting. This would be something of a dramatic flourish, given that Liverpool are currently enjoying the best squad depth at Anfield in living memory, but there can be no doubt that Ward has inherited a contract crisis. With so many players in front of him, there would be logic behind the move. Likewise, Joe Gomez must be the best fourth-choice centre-back around, so it is no surprise that the ECHO reports a Liverpool plan to extend his deal beyond 2024. While Phillips was probably the standout in the unlikely central partnership that ultimately secured Champions League football for Liverpool, Williams played an underrated role. Unfortunately, while Jürgen Klopp’s squad has plenty of equivalent outfield reserves, there is no such guarantee of keeping them happy with the odd cup outing. “I’m afraid there is no money.” That was the infamous note left for the incoming government following Labour’s loss of power in 2010.

Sadio Mane is a modern-day Liverpool great and the Reds cannot plan for their future without him, writes Paul Gorst.

It was a positive update on a situation that some supporters are perhaps looking at with apprehension as the forward enters the final 12 months of his deal. Like Salah, Mane's contract is currently slated to end in the summer of 2023. "That was not the reason for bringing in Luis and playing in the centre obviously suits Sadio very well, as well. With seven goals since the start of April, it's fair to assume Mane has thrived in his third positional tweak in Liverpool's front three. Nearly six years on, the 30-year-old is a modern-day legend who has done as much as any other to propel this team to greatness. It was his seventh in his last nine prior to Saturday's draw with Tottenham.

LIVERPOOL, England (AP) — Frustration but no moaning from Jürgen Klopp, even after a title setback for Liverpool.

The team is four points ahead of Arsenal, which plays Leeds on Sunday. Being held by Tottenham was only the second time in 14 matches that Liverpool has dropped points, and the other time was against City. Time has run out, though, with Watford on 22 points — 12 from safety. “The only problem is I can’t see it.” “I cannot coach it.” The best United can realistically hope for is a sixth-place finish and a spot in the Europa League.

Antonio Conte masterminded another strong result for Tottenham as they held Premier League title contenders Liverpool to a 1-1 draw at Anfield on Saturday ...

In response, Carragher hit back at his regular co-pundit by pointing out Neville has previously called for Diego Simeone to be appointed United boss. He also questioned why Spurs were quite so defensive - they had just 35 per cent of possession - when they are a "world-class" side who defeated reigning champions Manchester City home and away this season. He has done a fine job with the North London club and they have a realistic chance of securing Champions League qualification this season.
