No matter how bad the reffing, we were 2 down at half time. Simply not good enough.

When it's Vardy....
Newcastle scored 4 today...be afraid....be very afraid.....
It’s not 2006 anymore. These dinosaurs like Jose and Conte are yesterday’s managers.
We don't need decent...we need good
So much negativity surrounding Spurs tactics. Pundits, fans basically everyone, its driving me mad!
Did you watch the second half? Wasn't it exciting football to watch during the second half? The way we controlled the play, now imagine that but with better players! A new LWB and RWB. I thought we played extremely well considering our injuries and lack of squad depth.
My prediction: we'll make top 4 this season and start playing more consistently like we did in the second half vs Liverpool. Some people need to start seeing all the positives surrounding this club.

It’s really not hard to control the play or play attacking football when you’re 2-0 down at home against an out of form team who ended up simply trying to protect their lead.
We were 2-0 down mate, as we have been for the past few games.
There is nothing positive about the shit state of the team and or it's set up.
Liverpool took their foot of as it was all a bit too easy against a team that shows very little until it's too late.
That was one of the most incredibly biased referring displays I have seen in a while. It was comical.
'Tottenham support can be better,' says Graeme Souness as Spurs fans make their unhappiness heard
Boos heard as Tottenham are defeated 2-1 at home by Liverpool and fall eight points behind Premier League leaders Woolwich; Sky Sports pundit Graeme Souness: Spurs supporters should be happy
Dier has made just 7 mistakes across 9 seasons that have led to a goal.
The rest of your post I agree with.

Did Graeme Souness get charged 80 odd quid to watch that shite yesterday?
Does Graeme Souness get hounded every summer by a football club trying to shift them an ST at 1.5k for 19 games of football?
Does Graeme Souness get charged over hundred quid to put his kid in a replica kit?
When you as a club willingly refer to to fans as 'customers', do not be surprised when those same 'customers' express dissatisfaction at your sub-standard product. The football is absolute shite, has been all season, will continue to be after the World Cup, and I respect anybody's right to let that shower of shit know how they feel, whether that be half time, full time, whenever they like.....
It’s the fourth league game in a row we’ve found ourselves 2-0 down and it’s largely been down to the zombie like, low energy, not wanting the ball style of play, Conte favours. 2-0 down to top sides like Man U, Liverpool and now Newcastle, you’re not coming back. We can’t play Bournemouth every week.
Don’t see a problem with that if I’m honest. Rather that than knuckle dragging oafs who only care about fighting.
We’re getting more revenue from a wider audience. The concern should be how we’re spending it
Does that include the 2 mistakes that led to goals yesterday?
If we must lose to any team on any occasion it should always be that the team we face have been brilliant.
Not the case yesterday.
Not a Liverpool team to fear, Salah apart or if you give Arnold and Robertson space and time.

YES!!!!
Exactly, people should be worried by our second halves not encouraged, because these performances are coming from tactics going out the window, not any kind of instruction or plan.
If they were capable of playing like that intentionally then we would occasionally see some of that during the first half of games, these signs of life are only coming when the horse has already bolted, the opposition are already in a lead and sitting back, and our players have got nothing to lose and so are chasing the game.
The better sides, and an on form Liverpool, would be putting us to the sword when we go at it like we did second half yesterday.
Expect exactly the same against Leeds next week, and Emerson starting yet again.
Interesting.
Taking the above at face value, his lack of defensive mindset may not directly lead to a goal, but one / two plays thereafter does.
I feel that he does not have that automatic defender attribute to deal with a situation without thinking about it. He takes 2 secs to think about and deal with a situation, whereas an out and out defender does the same / similar but automatically and in half the time . Fine margins, and all that.
