Jurgen Klopp was full of praise for his starlets after Liverpool’s 2-1 EFL Cup win over Tottenham at Anfield.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Daniel Sturridge struck twice as the Reds saw off Spurs to reach the quarter-finals and maintain\u00a0their unbeaten run to 10 matches.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
But Klopp singled out debutant right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold, and Ovie Ejaria, who started in midfield, for plaudits.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Klopp said: “I knew before the game that there would be a way to have them in the team. We had an idea of what we would do but the medical department came to us with some problems.<\/span><\/em><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
“But anything that didn’t work, you can blame me because I selected the line-up. Anything that is positive, that is down to the players absolutely.<\/span><\/em><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
“It was a hard challenge with 11 changes. It was not perfect, but on a perfect day everyone can show what they can do.<\/span><\/em><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
“You need to come back in games when you have difficult moments. Like a yellow card for Trent; he’s far away from being a really hard challenger. But he stayed in the game, made lots of challenges against Georges-Kevin Nkoudou on the wing, and was smart with it.<\/span><\/em><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
“Ovie did a brilliant job, worked so hard. Marko Grujic;\u00a0the 10 is not his perfect position, but I always say the 10 is not an offensive position, it needs you to work hard for the team and he ran a lot, and did well. I’m happy with this.<\/span><\/em><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
“These boys need to go back, train hard and try to come again. That’s how it is. We have a few of them every day with us, and the rest are in the academy. When they are ready, they can make the next step.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
