Tottenham Hotspur v Liverpool - Match Thread

[mark1975]

Good win, we were really good and should have had more goals really. Spurs were all over the place, Mourinho was trying to be a smart arse and it backfired. Good performance by Henderson, but he didn't have alot to do, but still played a part going forward. We've missed him of late, back tonight and back to winning ways.

 

[Fallon]

Good goals, good win. Even if a loan though, we need a CB option.

 

[Bradley]

Massive confidence boost this.

Hopefully we can get back to it now and push into 2nd place.

So Firmino and Salah are rested against Burnley and then turn in productive performances in the following game against United.

Mane is rested against United. And then turns in a great performance the following game against Spurs.

Coincidence? I think not.

This is why Jota was vital.

Also... Milner has calmly been the difference for us tonight. Cracking game

Have to say, I was wrong about wanting him to come off – Milly was very good.

I don't know how much the throw-in coach gets paid but it's too much! We need a refresher course pronto.

There's no one better at dealing with the last ten minutes of a game - he knows exactly how to win a free kick, move the ball around safely, calm stuff down.

😛 Can't wait for the Mou post match interview.

 

[Fabio]

Great result.

Thank fuck

 

[ibromurph]

The first goal matters so much in a game against a Mourinho team.

And this game was opened up by a wonderful pass from Hendo.

The sort Virgil would make frequently. (see Mane goal against Bayern, or Lallana goal against Wolves).

Part of what we miss at the back.

 

[RedStar]

Is it a coincidence that we had 50% posession today instead of 70% or more and were able to get at their back 4 with regularity

Is that right? It felt like we had more.

 

[KopRed]

Great result, we were very good.

Matip surely have to go doesn't he.

It helps when they make as many cock ups as Spurs did today.

 

[MomoWASright]

I thought we let them have the ball at the back a fair amount and then BANG press them. Like when we were in our pomp.

TBH I don't think so. We sat back after the 3rd goal and when we were dominating we had over 60% possession. I think Klopp's comment was spot on re. this performance .. THIS is what we are.

Forced?

 

[Hansern]

"Looks like something serious with Joel"... Klopp


Faaaaaack

 

[ibromurph]

The man can't even last the full 90mins these days!

He's gotta go.

 

[KopRed]

I think we have come to realise how important the player quota is. Unless we come to find more homegrown players good enough to play for us, sicknotes like Keita or Matip surely have to go so we can have more reliable options.

 

[ibromurph]

"Looks like something serious with Joel"... Klopp


Faaaaaack

How is that even possible? The man finished the half seemingly okay.

 

[Modo]

At least we got him for free. He did his part and then some...

 

[Shadey]

It’s a ploy so FSG dip into their pockets

 

[Shay_K]

Mou ...almost crying 💩

 

[KopRed]

How is that even possible? The man finished the half seemingly okay.

It's quite crazy. I can understand it if he pulls a hamstring or was on the end of a bad tackle while playing but this guy just seems to walk around outside of the game and get mysterious injuries, not unlike Keita.

I love the guy, I think he is a character and a very good player when he is fit but he's gotta go.

"Looks like something serious with Joel"... Klopp


Faaaaaack

Get two CBs in on loans ... imperative ...

 

[gkmacca]

How is that even possible? The man finished the half seemingly okay.

He did land on his back at one point, and his back is dodgy. But so is the rest of him, so who knows.

 

[KopRed]

Where was Fab by the way? Was it an injury or a suspension?

Injury. Missing from training.

Injury. Missing from training.

Fuck's sakes. And we have a bunch of tricky games coming up.
