If we only make one signing signing in the next days it should be a CM playmaker. Dembele will be back soon, but he usually misses some games with injury.
You do realise one of the 96 was a Spurs fan?
Review of the game.
Vorm - Excellent, nothing more can be said
Backline was very solid. Had some free runners but Vorm did a great job of coming off his line and sweeping up some of their deep balls to Mane. Did a very good job of not allowing many good/clean looks other than the Coutinho miss, which was pretty much caused by Eriksen. Dier was great too other than his simple turnover that nearly lead to a goal.
Front 4, other than Kane who I thought was good, other than his missed pass late, they were pretty bad. Janssen showed great energy pressing, which bodes well when subbing Kane like for like, but never really got a chance. Eriksen was garbage and should have been the first non-injury sub. Alli not much better but he did a good job when he got pushed back alongside Wanyama. Lamela wasn't good but he wasn't bad, could've been a lot better.
Wanyama I thought did a great job. He was getting some stick on here, but I thought he did a great job breaking things up and tracking what he could. Not much offensively, but you don't expect much.
Onomah showed some spark, but his offside was unfortunate.
This game really showed we need another AM to push Eriksen and we need another player with pace to come on. Obviously we haven't seen him yet but GKN would have been great against a slow, tired defense like Liverpool had in the last 20 min. Even Son would have been a good sub.

To be fair he was playing as a lone striker in the first 30 minutes and didn't really do anything useful there either...
Just because I don't agree with you, doesn't make me a deluded wanker...
The amount of quality signings you are calling for in the next 5 days on the other hand....
Spurs football or Firminho's hair. What was more atrocious today ? Poch needs to sort this out asap ! Dembele's return cant come soon enough.
Agreed. Poch needs to bring Dembele back with a humdinger of a hairdo.
you do realize it's a joke to wind friends up? not everything should be taken with utmost seriousness
Onomah should be fined for that brainless offside.
Good result.
We need a Berahino type and one more but well done to all.

Eriksen playing a full 90 (x a minute) was shocking by Poch as well. He clearly needs a game off or two. The problem when he is off form, he offers nothing defensively and exposes the BL badly which we saw on multiple occasion.
Happy to take a point from that. Thought Vorm was excellent. More worrying is the form of our creative players, we were second best in a lot of areas today. Wanyama is looking good
Allright mr our squad is perfect without any weakness
Onomah looked completely out of his depth when getting on the pitch. lets hope that changes quickly if he'll be a regular off the bench
Jezus Christ Souness thinks it's not offside, even the pro-Liverpool and anti-Spurs Carragher disagrees with him, lol.
We desperately need some pacy goalscorer (whether he's a striker or winger doesn't matter much imo, just someone with pace upfront).
