Jurgen Klopp satisfied with first Liverpool point despite not scoring

New Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp would have hoped to start the latest chapter of his career with a win, but a 0-0 draw against Tottenham was evidently good enough Saturday.

Klopp took over at the helm of the team at the start of the week, guiding the Reds through training three times before embarking upon his first Premier League test - an away fixture at White Hart Lane.

While the game ended level and neither team scored, Klopp isn't worried about the actual result of his first Premier League fixture.

"I'm satisfied with the start and it was not the worst sign," Klopp said after the match. "I knew we only had three days and Tottenham are very strong, a well-tuned team, so I knew it could be difficult. But I'm really satisfied because the start was brilliant and we surprised them a little bit - we wanted to go on the second ball."

Despite Liverpool creating a few good chances to score, the game remained deadlocked.

"The problem was that when we had the ball, we were not cool enough and we didn't use our skills," Klopp explained. "We were a little bit too hectic. We didn’t see the right option, but it’s normal. ... Now we have our own game, our own experience, together and now we can go on working."

Going into White Hart Lane is never easy, but Liverpool's task was made more difficult after a number of injuries hit the squad at once.

Klopp says results like these won't be the norm in the coming weeks.

"Football is a results sport, so we need results, but we have to try to improve,” Klopp said. "We have to try together, work together and do the things better that we want to see. That's what we are doing at the moment. ...

"I know Liverpool have not scored the most goals this season, but football can be enjoyable and spectacular without goals if you play well and have good moments," Klopp said. "Of course, our target is to have the nil on the right side and on the other side, another number!

"For the moment, it's more important for development to become stable. We can make it better when we play better football. We are able to play better football but today, after three days (of training), it is okay."
