-Can't hate that result given how toothless the attack is at the moment. Normally you don't want to settle for a lone point, almost no matter who you play. But the math changes against a club you may be battling with for a spot in the table. And given what we've seen so far this season Spurs can certainly be part of the race for 3rd and 4th.
-Spurs may be disappointed not to capitalize at home against a wounded opponent in transition, but it was a major improvement on recent results against us. Given their own injuries I don't think they should be too upset. Seem like a well-coached side that just needs to get their attackers firing more consistently.
-I was disappointed in the band-of-three attacking midfielders today. With a completely raw striker deployed on his own by necessity, we needed more invention from them.
-I love Phil, but he isn't a #10. He was at his best much deeper as one of the shuttling MFs in the diamond, where he has space to thread through-balls and rip shots. His inability to impact games when he's our best attacker gives me hope that the Spanish giants won't come for him.
-Can appears to be enjoying life under Klopp. He can be like a AI defender from a '90s video game at times (bee-lining directly at the ball with no regard for where it's going), but at his best he's a box-to-box animal. Definitely up for Klopp's demands and I think he cemented his place today.
-We have got to get better at corners. I think we've run well to score a goal and almost bag a second given the quality of the service.
-Surprised Klopp didn't make changes sooner and ended up leaving a bullet in the chamber. We seemed super gassed, and I was extremely worried that a sloppy turnover might cost us late as tired players kept surging forward only to get trapped behind the ball after a lazy pass.
-At the end of day the Klopp momentum should live to see another week, and his Anfield debut looms. His default attacking lineup today was so far from ideal that a road draw is fine, and we'll all be pumped to see what happens with a better lineup and a full week of prep.

Unfortunately our corners were pretty meh as well (used to be good dunno what happened) so I wouldn't expect much in that regard. Those are basically my two main criticisms I always had under Klopp.
