Jurgen Klopp, the Liverpool manager, has praised Takumi Minamino, who made his debut against Everton in the FA Cup on Sunday.
“Your first game in a team you don’t know, if it’s a settled team it’s already difficult – this team we threw more or less on the pitch with two sessions together,” Klopp said.
“And then showing this kind of game understanding, football skills are exceptional, attitude is outstanding, led the chasing pack so often in different situations, which I loved.”
The last league meeting between Tottenham and Liverpool was on the 27th of October 2019.
