Liverpool v Tottenham Hotspur Match Thread

[SummerOnions]

Tbh Trent is nowhere near Davies though so didn't seem too bad

 

[Judge Jules]

We're well better than these but it's a bit worrying that we're still only one goal ahead.

Dembele should be in the book for that tackle on Mane.

 

[Mystic]

Dembele just kicked Mane without even attempting the ball, surely thats a stone wall yellow.

 

[Halmeister]

By my reckoning it's nearly half time. So we will concede in a minute or so.

 

[IGotALuvlyBunchOfCoconuts]

You can hear the crowd there. Someone's a "knobhead".

 

[manwithnoname]

Hopefully nobody says anything stupid about Harry Kane being 'quiet' or 'overrated' just before he scores

 

[FoxForceFive]

Need at least three more

Kane is likely to score or assist at least one just by virtue of the fact he's practically sitting on the CB's & one of them will slip up or a full back misjudge a pass back at some point.

 

[RedStar]

Why do we keep going back to Karius just for him to hit a 50/50 pass into the middle of the park?

 

[KopRed]

Salah. What a waste.

 

[FoxForceFive]

Poor pass from salah. Could have been on a plate.

 

[manwithnoname]

I suspect that was directed at Dembele

Salah fucks up a great position with an awful pass to Mane

 

[FoxForceFive]

Why do we keep going back to Karius just for him to hit a 50/50 pass into the middle of the park?

Cos we can't play it from the back as they're pressing every defender.

 

[Markeh]

I like that we've been the niggly cunts in this match. It's usually the other team preventing us from playing football, but we've been all over Spurs in midfield with those momentum stopping fouls

 

[SummerOnions]

Salah with the shit ball there

 

[manwithnoname]

Kane is likely to score or assist at least one just by virtue of the fact he's practically sitting on the CB's & one of them will slip up or a full back misjudge a pass back at some point.

Plus he's a brilliant finisher

Especially from OUR free kick. What the fuck was the point of that?

 

[KopRed]

Karius kicks better than Ming.

 

[Mystic]

Cos we can't play it from the back as they're pressing every defender.

I've noticed we don't often bother going for the header either, more focusing on the knockdown, and considering we're so good at the press and it'll naturally take some time to get the ball under control from a knockdown, it makes complete sense.

 

[RedStar]

Mané seems pissed off today, thats a good thing

 

[mark1975]

Excellent half that, everyone played well really, though Mane and Firmino look a bit out of sorts and off the pace. Henderson, Can and Milner have ran the midfield.

 

[LeTallecWiz]

Mane - seems hungry (not that type of hungry wacists) - love his passion today.
TAA - some great balls and defending well.
Dembele - I've hated that cunt for a while - he's a fucking whopping thundercunt.
Hendo - been great so far, Milner not too shabby either.
Salah - great finish, but poor passing been plaguing him.

1-0 ... 45 more minutes of the same PLEASE!

 

[mark1975]

TAA just needs to be careful now, they'll be at him in the second half. It might be worth taking him off at some point and putting Milner there.

 

[Tinto]

I'm disappointed we're not further ahead. Some good opportunities wasted by poor touches or passes

TAA's delivery is great, isn't it?

 

[Mystic]

Salah is basically playing as a striker tonight right?

 

[FoxForceFive]

TAA just needs to be careful now, they'll be at him in the second half. It might be worth taking him off at some point and putting Milner there.

That'd mean klopp making a change before 75. Not likely unless we're really under the cosh. If we're playing as well as that he'll leave it as long as possible.

 

[LeTallecWiz]

There's a rotation between him an Firmino -

 

[Fabio]

Just checking, has the ref been a fucking cunt or am I biased?

 

[Judge Jules]

Just checking, has the ref been a fucking cunt or am I biased?

Both.

 

[manwithnoname]

I hate to be all tediously predictable, but we needed to finish some of those chances ideally. Does anyone think Spurs won't score at least one goal?

Didn't think so.

We have to get a few more goals and make the most of this

 

[LeTallecWiz]

Just checking, has the ref been a fucking cunt or am I biased?

I think he's let Spurs play far more than us ... but he started trying to 'even' it up near the end.
But I am probably biased too!
