And because Woolwich + Liverpool "haven't spent enough" to be competitive.I bet if we win the league it will be because the other teams have under performed this year.....
RAWK is so funny. The Spurs thread is currently locked.

Lovren at least has the excuse that he is half past broken and playing on painkillers since Koeman refuses to build the defense on another DB. Matip has no excuse for his blunder yesterday
The fuck is the keeper doing? Its his fault, not Lovrens.
Its a lovely ball. But the keeper is out of his mind if he thinks he should come for that. Theres 2 defenders to beat. And if he stays on his line he saves it.
We played them at their own game today.
Except,we can defend better.
Looked for the quick ball over the top or behind their defence.
Instead of playing it around the back or side to side in middle, maybe lose it and succumb to a quicjpk pass forward.
We seemed content to let them have it, wait for the error or chance to pounce whilst always on them trying to force it. Quickly move it forwards
We have played them our way too many times and came unstuck The keep possession, pass it around the back, midfield patiently they press force errors.
Today we didn’t pass it around the back using Lloris and he kicked long instead of risking the sometimes suicidal pass
Tottenham put hapless Liverpool to the sword as Harry Kane snatches double
This from the comments...Scouse delusion at it's greatest...
"Liverpool cab take a lot of positives they wat they sliced open Liverpool for the goal simply magnificent I think it was Henderson great ball but the run by that man Salah who is on fire he left Aurier and Vertonghen for dead while Lloris was stood still high blunder by the Spurs back 5 they were in no man's land the finish in the corner by Salah beautiful Spurs had 14 chances Liverpool 12 there was nothing in it the Liverpool keeper was shocking as was the defense other than that going forward Liverpool world class the midfield and front men bossed the game Spurs only had 36 percent possession they parked the bus again playing on the counter lucky for them the Liverpool back 5 had a nightmare"
spot on, the two biggest factors were us knocking it over their defense and Lloris kicking/throwing it long. They didn't expect it and had no answer for it at all.
Thank you for saying this! xG is a good tool, but anytime its wrong people shit all over it. It's to be used in conjunction with other stats, metrics and good old fashioned eye balls. Doesn't tell the whole story, even when it does, like in this case.Stats are shit in isolation but XG stat is 2.67 vs 0.67 Liverpool xG stats for the 2017/2018 season | Understat.com - we were 2 goals clear for most of the game so content to bring them on to us. I suspect this guy is a knob
I nearly always agree with what Souness says. He said the Liverpool players were showing Harry Kane too
much respect today. I well remember him showing Hoddle a great deal of respect one game at the Lane as he would not try to tackle Glenn opting instead to just back off him.
