Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp hailed Philippe Coutinho as "brilliant" after their 1-1 draw with Tottenham.

Coutinho struck Liverpool's goal.

Asked about the Brazilian, the boss said: “Phil was really great, but he had to defend too much today. Not because of Tottenham, because we were not tactically good.

“When he defends next to Alberto [Moreno], there is something wrong for sure. That's not how we want to play, we don't want to bring Phil Coutinho to the left full-back side.

“Maybe two or three times a game, but not 15 or 16 times because that's too long. So we have to learn and then Phil can play much more often like he did today and has done in the last few weeks.

“He is in a good moment, we need this and it is about his talent and his potential, and that's how he has to play.

“It's not that we should be surprised and always celebrate when someone is in good shape – that's what we have to want, for everybody to always play like this.

“On the day everybody plays at their best, imagine how good we could be. That's what we should try. Today, it was a brilliant goal and a brilliant performance, but also from a few other players too."
