Tottenham Hotspur’s 4-1 thrashing of Liverpool at Wembley Stadium final season was a loss that might have haunted Jurgen Klopp.

It wasn’t the outcome itself that might have infuriated the German; quite, the way of the Reds’ meek give up at Spurs’ adopted house.

They have been two objectives down after 12 minutes, following two inexcusable Dejan Lovren gaffes – the Croatian was withdrawn after half an hour – and went in 3-1 down at half-time.

By the 56th minute, Mauricio Pochettino’s aspect have been 4-1 up, following a Simon Mignolet error, and it was successfully curtains for the Merseysiders earlier than the hour mark. Dejan Lovren Liverpool

A fuming Klopp lambasted his group’s errors in an appalling outing and branded it “too easy for Tottenham”.

He was undoubtedly proper.

The very fact this season’s fixture will happen on the identical floor, versus the brand new White Hart Lane, could also be seen as destiny dealing the Reds the appropriate playing cards as they search to proper final yr’s wrongs. This kind of factor might go two methods: the gamers might both rise as much as take up the problem of correcting the humiliation, or they might completely freeze and fail to show up.

The German tactician will definitely hope for the previous. Sadio Mane Mohamed Salah Naby Keita Liverpool West Ham Premier League 120818

No matter Liverpool’s flawless begin, it ought to be famous they haven’t actually hit high gear, they usually owe quite a bit to Sadio Mane’s early-season impression.

Barring their wonderful 4-Zero win in opposition to a hopeless West Ham United in gameweek one, their performances have been satirically ‘un-Klopp-like’. They have been ran shut at Crystal Palace, and solely made certain of the factors in stoppage time when the Senegalese scored in a 2-Zero win, earlier than Jekyll and Hyde video games in opposition to Brighton & Hove Albion (1-0) and Leicester Metropolis (2-1).

In all honesty, the aforementioned reality should be undertstood within the context that the Reds haven’t gained 4 on the trot initially of league soccer since 1990.

Additionally, it’s nonetheless solely September, and the marketing campaign is undoubtedly a marathon, so the pure expectation is that the German’s aspect will get higher because the season progresses.

It’ll even be hypocritical to provide them stick for successful ugly – an ingredient they’ve been criticized for missing lately – significantly once they’re having fun with a 100-percent document to date. Sadio Mane Liverpool West Ham Premier League 120818

Mane has been the star this time round, versus Salah who has (to date) been subdued. The Senegal worldwide’s kind has been a bit paying homage to his begin in 2016/17 when he scored three in his first 5 appearances in a debut season that noticed him earn a spot within the PFA Group of the 12 months, in addition to being voted Liverpool Participant of the 12 months. The ahead’s even bettered that this time period with 4 objectives in as many appearances, and appears to be edging his pleasant rivalry with the Egyptian.

Salah has not had final yr’s blistering begin, however nonetheless has two league objectives as issues stand, and that’s definitely respectable, in all honesty. Expectations for the attacker have heightened following final yr’s devastating, record-breaking season which noticed him hit 32 league objectives, earlier than being named finest within the land – and deservedly so.

Granted, he’s but to essentially do any kind of harm in opposition to any aspect within the early phases of the season, but it surely’d be unwise to write down him off simply 4 gameweeks into the marketing campaign. It was all the time going to be onerous to duplicate such excessive numbers, given opposing defenders will hold a watchful eye on him, however he’ll undoubtedly chip in together with his fair proportion within the league contenders’ marketing campaign.

The added dynamism Naby Keita brings has been obvious within the Reds’ midfield, and whereas the Guinea worldwide has solely fleetingly proven what he’s able to, you’re feeling the midfielder would acquire extra confidence to be extra expressive as soon as he adapts to the league and his new team-mates.

For his or her half, Tottenham have executed nicely to maintain it collectively following a summer time that noticed no new signing arrive. The switch inactivity, coupled with the delay in transferring to their new floor, might have seen the Lilywhites really feel sorry for themselves, however Pochettino has seemingly steadied the ship.

Nevertheless, you’re feeling the Argentine shall be furious following their 2-1 loss to Watford earlier than the worldwide break – a disappointing defeat that adopted their wonderful 3-Zero win at Manchester United every week earlier than – and he’ll completely need a response to their collapse final day trip. Mohamed Salah and Serge Aurier

The corresponding fixture final season noticed the tactician deploy Serge Aurier at left-back to nullify Salah’s risk and it labored to some extent. Some could level to Spurs’ quick begin – which fully ruined Liverpool’s gameplan – whereas pointing to the wideman’s purpose (the one second the Ivorian full-back switched off) to contradict Aurier’s efficiency, however he undoubtedly did nicely on the day.

Article continues beneath

Will Pochettino put his religion within the barely forgotten man but once more to reprise his man-marking function on the Egyptian? Or perhaps he may need a special instruction, this time in his pure berth on the appropriate, of making an attempt to nullify the specter of one other in-form attacker in Mane.

One other journey to Wembley awaits Klopp and his Reds aspect in Saturday’s early kick-off, they usually’ll know solely a much-improved efficiency from final yr’s humiliating trouncing will see them keep their unblemished begin to the season.

The pair of Mane and Salah shall be key to the Merseyside membership getting their pound of flesh, in addition to heaping additional woe on considered one of their title rivals.
