Mourinho warned as Klopp clamps down on Man Utd error Liverpool will correct Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp believes that his side will deal with Tottenham’s counter-attacks better after falling foul of Manchester United’s similar threat.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp believes that his side will deal with Tottenham’s counter-attacks better after falling foul of Manchester United’s similar threat.

The Reds ended their recent goal drought against senior opposition with two goals against United on Sunday.

However, Mohamed Salah’s brace did not prove enough as the Red Devils won the FA Cup fourth-round tie 3-2.

As such, Liverpool remain without a win – aside from beating Aston Villa’s youth – in six games.

Just as in a previous interview with the BBC, Klopp admitted to beIN Sports that his side looked too eager to find the back of the net. Indeed, that enthusiasm eventually cost his side victory.

However, he later added a warning to Spurs and boss Jose Mourinho about his side rectifying their mistakes.

“There were a lot of positives in the game. The start was really positive, fully in the game,” the manager said.

“Then we lost some balls in the wrong moments which leads to counter attacks for Man Utd. They didn’t score with the first one, but they scored with the second or third situation.

“In that moment you saw that when you don’t score for a while and you are so desperate to change that, we tried – in these moments – too hard tonight.”

Klopp looking forward to Spurs

Liverpool will hope that Salah’s double has freed their recent shackles in front of goal. But what will not change is the style of their next opponent.

Spurs, like United, have shown a deadly counter-attacking threat this season, supplied by Harry Kane and Son Heung-min.

“It was a good test tonight for our next opponent, we play Tottenham, and they, obviously, are not too bad in counter-attacking as well,” Klopp said.

“So yeah we should do that better, but I know the boys will do it better.”

Liverpool beat Spurs 2-1 at Anfield earlier in the season thanks to Roberto Firmino’s late header.
