Klopp lauds Ings for ‘perfect’ response

Ings has been a regular scorer for Liverpool’s U23 side and Klopp is set to utilise him in the EFL Cup fourth round clash with Tottenham on Tuesday. Pochettino named a heavily rotated squad that featured Academy graduates Cameron Carter-Vickers, Tom Carroll, Harry Winks and Josh Onomah.

Tottenham: Toby Alderweireld is still recovering from a knee injury, Harry Kane also remains sidelined. Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino has already announced the club will not appeal, meaning the France worldwide is likely to begin a three-match ban against Liverpool. “Good in defending, good in attacking, not a lot of weaknesses”. We hope that maybe next week he’ll be available.

“We have a big four games, Liverpool, Leicester, Leverkusen and Arsenal”.

Kieran Tripper and Ben Davies are expected to come in at full-back while Kevin Wimmer could be joined by youngster Cameron Cater-Vickers in the middle of defence.

“They aren’t in Europe and have a very strong squad”.

“One of the reasons why it is so easy for them to use the situation of training with world-class players and improving every day is because they don’t have to think about anything else”.

“They are not machines”. If not [Philippe] Coutinho, they play [Georginio] Wijnaldum. If not, it is because they are not at the level to play for Tottenham.

We are starting to lose count of how many times Jurgen Klopp describes the importance of a good Anfield atmosphere. We spoke about changing the second team a little bit and a lot of players need to stay here, play together in a really good team, get results, score goals, win games and have the opportunity to train with us. Mignolet has not played a match since September 16, when he was given the berth against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

Prior to the injury, he had established himself in the Liverpool side and earned a first senior cap for England. Always it’s hard – Leverkusen [lost] at home to Hoffenheim 3-0.

Moussa Sissoko will miss the Tottenham Hotspur visit to Liverpool on Tuesday night (25 October) after Mauricio Pochettino confirmed Spurs accepted a Football Association violent conduct charge against the midfielder.
