It is telling that while Stoke boss Mark Hughes is typical of club managers in bemoaning the international break and its effect on his players, Klopp welcomed it. "Most of them played only one game so we are something like refreshed," he said. "Usually the international break is not too nice but today it's not a problem. So now we are back and recharged."
We saw some evidence of the pressing against Tottenham - the likes of Philippe Coutinho and Adam Lallana forcing the visitors into errors in their own half on a regular basis. Unfortunately, despite Klopp's insistence that his players are fresh, they are playing in patches and struggling to press home the advantage in games.
