The much anticipated debut game for Jurgen Klopp ended in a goalless draw.
It was clear that Klopp's tactics have had an immediate impact on Liverpool's style of play, but with so many injuries, his side could only settle for a point.
Despite the injuries, however, it was evident that there are some areas that still need improving if Liverpool are going to challenge for a top four place.
A shaky defence
It is safe to say Martin Skrtel did not have the best of games on Saturday, being caught out many times by Harry Kane. The Liverpool defender made far too many mistakes which almost cost the team.
Luckily for Skrtel, Simon Mignolet was in inspired form, and managed to save the team from losing.
Also, Skrtel's centre-back partner Mamadou Sakho put in a good performance to show the standard Skrtel needs to be playing at.
With Tiago Ilori out on loan, and Dejan Lovren still seen as a liability, Klopp will surely be looking at some centre-backs in January to try and resolve Liverpool's defence issues once and for all.
An uninspired midfield
James Milner was brought in during the summer to regain some of the experience that the departure of Steven Gerrard left Liverpool without. However, he has failed to impress so far this season and has looked poor as a central midfielder.
With Milner being Liverpool's new vice-captain, it is unlikely he will be dropped anytime soon. Additionally, with Jordan Henderson out, there aren't many other options in the midfield.
It seems likely that Klopp could bolster the midfield as well in January, with another central midfielder.
Lacking upfront?
Jurgen Klopp was unlucky to be left with only one striker yesterday. Danny Ings has been ruled out for the rest of the season, and Christian Benteke wasn't quite ready to make his return. Daniel Sturridge was also left out due to an injury he picked up in training.
Divock Origi had to make his first start for Liverpool against Tottenham Hotspur due to these injuries. Ultimately, he failed to impress, apart from his header that came off the crossbar.
Although yesterday the Reds only had one striker, Klopp will most likely have Benteke and Sturridge back, before his next Premier League game.
If Klopp does bring in a striker in January, it will be due to the current strike force not scoring enough goals.
Even with Danny Ings' injury, three strikers should be more than enough to see this season through.
