Jurgen Klopp headed for the tunnel with his arm around Lucas Leiva and a smile on his face after launching his career as Liverpool manager.
A 0-0 draw, full of effort and endeavour, was a reasonable start to life in the Barclays Premier League; his captain, James Milner, said that it will take time for Klopp’s methods to filter in, as he has only had a short time training with Liverpool’s squad.
There were, however, clear differences in the way Liverpool played at White Hart Lane from how things had been under Brendan Rodgers and here Sportsmail analyses the changes that Klopp has managed to make.

mein Trainer!

A decent start! No complaints from where I sit. I only saw the last 15 minutes and it was good to see Origi on the field. I have to check his rating in the match, from independent sources.

[Stonigut]

Can you imagine, I wonder what changed, team played with grit today, every ball was challenged.

[Peter R]

So now the attack! This is where LFC has been woeful! 8 For and 10 against was not going to see us (LFC that is) contend for anything. That has to change! I'm rooting for the new Trainer to get more goals out of less!

[Peter R]

Behave!

It can only get better,Bentke and Fimino ,of course Sturry,coming back.I love the pressing.

Stoni - while I think a draw was a fair result, were it not for the heroics of our keeper, that could have been a loss for my Reds. Our defending is still not up to par, and of course, we can't expect a miracle with just one game from the new manager. What is particularly worrying for me - and this is squarely on the players - is that despite playing a more logical formation, and with better defensive purpose, we didn't create any chances of note other than Origi's tame strike and crossbar.

Klopp's success with these particular players will depend heavily on getting his midfielders to score. None of them today looked like they had intent except Can and Ibe (who came on late). The others looked like they had no purpose. It would have been understandable if someone would have been surprised that Coutinho started. Without being critical of any of the other players, the players that did well today for me were the two center backs, Can, Lucas and of course Mignolet.

There are 29 games left in the season, only 4 points of 4th, and a January transfer window where I expect to see some big $ spent. There's lots of time to get it right. Good start for the manager, but the players have to step up.
