Tottenham 4 - Liverpool 1: Jurgen Klopp hauls off Dejan Lovren after horror show
LIVERPOOL boss Jurgen Klopp substituted Dejan Lovren after the defender had a terrible first half against Tottenham.

Lovren had a game to forget as he was at fault for both of Tottenham's goals.
For their first, the defender was slow to react to a loose ball allowing Harry Kane to sneak in and open the scoring.
He then misjudged a long ball by Hugo Lloris, allowing Kane to race away and the England striker found Son Heung-min who finished clinically past Simon Mingnolet to double the lead.
And in the 31st minute, Klopp had clearly seen enough and he replaced Lovren with Oxlade-Chamberlain.

Klopp's centre backs and his goalkeeper will always kill him - they’re not good enough
On commentary, Gary Neville blasted the Liverpool defence.
He said: “Klopp's centre backs and his goalkeeper will always kill him - they’re not good enough.
“They’ll always let him down. No matter how good they are going forward, they let you down.”
And on Twitter, those watching the game were equally as scathing.
Hugh Wizzy wrote: “Lovren's a well paid professional footballer. Henderson plays for Liverpool & England.

“Never give up, kids - literally anything's possible.”
Joel Rabinowitz said: “For Klopp to hook Lovren after 30 mins without an injury is unprecedented.
“He must be absolutely fuming.”
Chris Winterburn added: “Dejan Lovren has absolutely perfected the art of looking okay for a couple of games before unleashing an absolute horror performance.”
