Twitter Reacts to Jurgen Klopp's First Game as Liverpool Manager

After all the talk and hype surrounding Jurgen Klopp's appointment as Liverpool manager, the return of Premier League football finally brought the German's first game in charge.

Unsurprisingly, "Kloppmania" dominated the build-up as Liverpool travelled to White Hart Lane to face Tottenham Hostpur.

I was excited for Klopp's first game. "Is it a one o'Klopp kick-off?" I asked. He said "no, 12:45." "My joke won't work for that," I sighed.

Klopp's first challenge was putting together a side wretched by injuries:

But there was no quelling the optimism of the travelling support:

The new manager's influence was immediately visible, as Liverpool pressed and harried Spurs in the style typical of Klopp's reign at Borussia Dortmund:

I think he's told them to press #LFC

Is this actually a gegenpress-cam?

But BT Sport's Klopp-box was getting mixed reviews:

"

Get that box off!

"

BT, for CHRIST sake. Get rid of Kloppvision, we are here to watch the game, not him.

Enjoying Kloppcam.

The game itself was largely uneventful, with Liverpool coming the closest when Divock Origi's header came back off the crossbar:

That was the closest either side came to a goal, as Klopp's first Premier League game finished in a stalemate:

All in all, there were some small signs of encouragement for Liverpool fans from a squad significantly hampered by injuries.
