BuzzFeed - Will they gegenpress on after their 0-0 draw with Spurs? This man has started well under Klopp. Simon Mignolet was excellent for Liverpool, he sometimes makes simple things look difficult, but he was safe as houses for his club today, and often is in big matches. Under Brendan Rodgers, the system of playing it out from the back sometimes made Mignolet look bad, his defenders would lazily pass the ball around the back, and when it came back to Mignolet, the opposing team would pounce and force a mistake. He certainly wasn't the best man for the job when it came to playing Brendan Rodgers' system, but he's made a good start under Klopp, playing in a sweeper role as the defenders push up as far as the halfway line. Mignolet's decision making is generally pretty sound, so this should be a role that suits him. John Powell / Getty Images Gegenpressing is hard... Liverpool came out of the traps at light
