James Milner was happy with Jurgen Klopp's debut as Liverpool manager.

Klopp's much anticipated first game as manager of the Reds ended in a 0-0 draw against Tottenham Hotspur at White Hart Lane on Saturday.

Nonetheless, there were certainly a few positives for Liverpool and midfielder Milner believes that the game was a fairly positive start for the German.

Milner said: "I think it is a good start. A change of manager is never easy. We had a few injuries, to say the least, as you cannot even get into our treatment room at the moment.

"Without the ball we were very good, we played a high tempo. Maybe we tried to force it forwards a bit early and we can improve with the ball, but Rome wasn't built in a day. It is a tough place to come so to get a positive result is a good start.

"So much has gone on in these few days. It has been tough for the manager, a whirlwind coming into English football and there is the expectation, pressure on him and the team.

"He is coming to try and get his ideas over and it will take time. He has said he can only feed us so much as he cannot change everything.

"It will take a few months to see exactly what he wants but it is a positive start, although a few injuries have come which is really disappointing. But you saw that in the team and on the bench, there is still a lot of quality."
