Liverpool boss Klopp: Spurs park a lot of things but not buses!

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has stated his belief that Tottenham Hotspur do not 'park the bus'.

Liverpool moved into third place in the Premier League table with a 2-1 victory over West Bromwich Albion during the weekend and the Reds now focus their attention to the EFL Cup clash against Spurs in midweek.

Klopp touched on the game at Anfield and has explained that he does not expect to come up against a defensively minded Spurs side after recent defensive performance from Manchester United and Albion.

The German said: "The performance of the whole of Anfield was really great.

"I enjoyed it, each second. The goal we conceded made the excitement a little bit longer. It was good, it was how you have to play.

"I know sometimes people say we have a problem with 'park the bus' teams but we already have a plan. It takes time to see it on the pitch and we work on it of course but then there will be another challenge. Now we play Tottenham, they park a lot of things but no buses! We have to be ready for this game.

"And then Crystal Palace, we didn't see them too often this season until now but we will be prepared. There will always be something else to do but for today we did what we had to do."
