Tottenham Hotspur vs Liverpool, 28/01, 8PM KO

[The Mercurial No.10]

Pretty sure that's amongst the least possession Liverpool have had against a team all season and the keeper was poor tonight.

Just like Bale, he doesn't trust Vinicius (and I agree with him). It's Ok to bully lower league players or score from 50 cm, but contending with Lewis Dunk and co. is a completely different proposition.

Then what the fuck are they doing here and who sanctioned them

 

[bk_spur]

Dunno what the fuck his backroom staff must have been thinking surely there not thick as well to think that a good idea .

Idk I can see them being nerdy competent Jose yes men quite easily.

Feels like the UCL final was a once in a lifetime chance and even then it was basically taken away from us 90 seconds in.

The club just is what it is, doesn’t matter who comes in and out of it. The highs and lows might be slightly different, but it’s the same low ceiling.

There is one common denominator though

 

[Doc]

Grim.

Positives: Hojbjerg, great player. Ndombele, outstanding effort levels and quality. Rodon was pretty good until he made an awful mistake for their third goal. Bergwijn played a decent game.

There are too many negatives to list. Very clear now that several players are just not up to scratch. Above all else, I really hope Harry has avoided serious injury to his ankle.

Would you say it was inept?

Just gonna tag in El Magnifico and Jenny Talia for no reason really

Depressingly inept

 

[Spud-U-Like]

3 shots all game ... where's the 'dare' ? ... too many players lack confidence.

 

[Jenny Talia]

The tactic of "Hoof it up to Vinny" would have been more enjoyable than that last 30 minutes.

Long ball if you don't mind.

Garbage

Fuck off

You can’t excuse the tactics today. But then you also cannot begin to understand how a Tottenham side at home managed just 3 shots on goal ( that I recall )

How a Tottenham side at home managed to be out run and out battled on every single 50/50.

How a Tottenham side can fail to press in pairs.

And how Lloris can play like he has been on the piss again.

in the end. It’s unprofessional. That’s it.

 

[Distaste for scouse]

Carry on like this and we might even finish below West Ham.....

 

[Hairy Cane]

Throwing Winks and Lamela on at the half was shocking

 

[Deleted member 15314]

It can change though, it really can but we need leaders in the team and someone with a fire in their belly managing them who will give them the confidence they need.

We're short on quality and at least one more leader.

PEH is a beast but a lot of the bottlers are his senior in rank/age it's hard to take charge alone.

If he had an ally, someone like Bruno Fernandes or Ruben Dias who was on the same wavelength, things would be a lot better.

Treatment of toby has been a disgrace

Easily our most stable & safe defender. Strange decision from jose. 1 of many.

 

[Yorkshire_Spurs]

Unironically I don't think Liverpool with their current injuries would have been able to deal with that very well either.

Burnley did exactly that.

That's the issue, many of our players are unprofessional, they hide.

Bloody woolwich as well.....oh how we laughed a few weeks back...

 

[Steve007]

Spurs had just three shots in that game, one from inside the box.

Embarrassing.

 

[Mike81]

So, this time last year José was constantly bitching and moaning about how he didn’t have a striker to come in and replace the injured Kane. Tonight, Kane goes off injures at half time, and the leaves the striker on the bench for the duration.

Go figure.
