Tottenham toughest yet - but Liverpool showed right attitude in Burton stroll
Jurgen Klopp goes back to where it all started on Saturday with a trip to Tottenham Hotspur.
It'd be easy for people to use the game as a barometer for progress under the German, but it's a little bit early in the season for that.
Ultimately we can see how much progress has been made under Klopp by the end of the season and not these early stages of the season.
There have been a lot of signs of optimism but then an afternoon like Burnley will come along and prove so frustrating.
Burnley aren't a team that will be challenging us in the table so it's disappointing not to have built on the win at Arsenal.
Tottenham v Liverpool pick your team - Echo writers come up with their starting XI, but who will you select?
When you face a team disciplined and committed, to give them something to hold on to – like Liverpool did by conceding early at Turf Moor – makes it very difficult.
It was a warning that this sort of result will cost us what we want to achieve this season if continues to happen throughout the campaign.
Our frustration got the better of us, with us shooting from distance and not opening up their defence.
However, Liverpool's players deserve credit for their response and attitude in the EFL Cup tie at Burton.
Burton isn't a nice place to go to and a lot of Championship sides will struggle there, but we secured an easy win and there aren't many of those against lower league opponents these days.
That Klopp fielded such a strong side underlines he is taking the cup competitions seriously this season.
Daniel Sturridge scored twice at Burton after coming on as substitute and afterwards spoke about preferring to play through the centre rather than out wide or deeper, where he sometimes found himself at Burnley.
As a player, you want to play in your preferred position but sometimes that's not what the manager wants and you have to be 100% committed to the team.
Who will Liverpool play up front against Spurs?
Sturridge is more effective down the middle. He's a goal threat and I'd prefer to see him in a central role.
But the manager picks the team and trusts the players to do the job they are told.
If Klopp tells Sturridge to play out wide, then it's up to him to get on with it as he did at Burton and be effective from the role he is picked by the manager.
If Emre Can doesn't make it at White Hart Lane, who plays in central midfield will be interesting.
There are those calling for Marko Grujic, but for me he's no different to Can and Jordan Henderson in that he's more effective going forward.
Lucas Leiva is arguably the only senior player who is, but I'm not sure he'll be a regular under Klopp.
Clearly, Liverpool are going to be reliant on their attack this season, and that's refreshing to see.
Not many teams have the quality to blow teams away like we did at Arsenal on the opening weekend.
But when the attack misfires, as at Burnley, that's when the trouble starts.
A lot, then, depends on the defence and the ability to keep clean sheets, although we haven't been helped by an unsettled back line.
Joel Matip got his first bit of game time at Burton, and as he's likely to be the main man, it's a question of who partners him. Nathaniel Clyne is the right-back, but it appears Klopp isn't convinced with Moreno as the left-back.
Liverpool will not be signing Joe Hart
If you have a defensive midfield player then Moreno gets away with it a little bit, but without one there's nobody to fill in when the full-backs go forward.
Tottenham will be our toughest test this season.
I actually think they will go close to winning the league this season as they have a good nucleus, don't give away much defensively and have an impressive manager.
But we've done well against bigger teams under Klopp.
