Analysis from Theo Squires after Liverpool's clash with Tottenham in the Premier League
Tottenham Hotspur’s own celebrations after ending Liverpool’s 19-game unbeaten run told its own story.
Liverpool will come again. While unbeaten Tottenham might now be second in the league, a point ahead off the fourth-placed Reds and a point behind Man City following their shock loss to Wolves, they aren’t Pep Guardiola’s treble-winners only challengers. Sure, the World Cup winner has enjoyed a fine start to life at Anfield, but his discomfort in a lone deeper role has remained present throughout. While it might have been overlooked when the Reds were winning most weeks, it can’t be in defeat.
If Liverpool were content with just battling for top four, then they could afford time to this experiment, re-inventing Mac Allister as a number six. But, to Klopp’s admitted surprise, they have the potential to be title-challengers this year. A victory over Tottenham would have sent them top, after all. THey can't afford time to square pegs in round holes.
