Tottenham v Liverpool Match Thread - 12.30 - 27th August

[Modo]

Matip has looked good. Midfield is nonexistent. Mane doing some good work in defence

 

[FoxForceFive]

But he's better in interviews, so everyone is happy

He also doesn't have the best or second best (it's arguable but I'd say best) player in the world playing for him upfront like Rodgers did.

 

[Rosco]

Why dont we just score goals and shit

Our manager probably hasn't told us to do that yet

Yep all of this. A little worried in the first few minutes with Matip playing out from the back but he looks a cool customer.

Midfield has had a few nice touches when moving the ball from the defense and is at least pressing but no sense of creating or building play.

 

[Oncy]

Brilliant from Lallana there

 

[keniget]

Awful by Lovren that. Really bad.

 

[FoxForceFive]

Fuck! So close!

 

[Mystic]

Is a push through the back not a foul? Blatant foul by gobface.

 

[Raz]

We don't have a midfield, we just have a few players thrown together haphazardly in the centre of the pitch.

Bingo!

 

[darkstarexodus]

Why dont we just score goals and shit

I'd say we should try to avoid giving them up to, but one thing at a time.

Terrible passing. He looks slow motion in this high intensity game.

 

[Oncy]

That was never a foul. Stronger is all

 

[Oncy]

Goals are coming.
Dont know for whom yet.

 

[Shadey]

But what has he done for us TODAY?

Is that Janet Jackson?

 

[Mystic]

That was never a foul. Stronger is all

He put his arm into the top of his back, surely that's a foul?

 

[Raz]

Saw the stat before the game that from the same number of games, Klopp has fewer points and conceded more goals than Rodgers at the same point. Shocking really.

Not really as he effectively has the same mediocre squad that Rodgers had. Mane is the new Suarez etc

 

[darkstarexodus]

Goals are coming.
Dont know for whom yet.

That's usually a bad sign. In total agreement tho.

 

[FoxForceFive]

Goals are coming.

This could end 3-4 or 0-5 & I wouldn't be surprised.

I think the only scoreline that would surprise me is 0-0.

Best players in the world don't make a difference

 

[Portly]

That's why statistics like that aren't worth a fucking carrot.

 

[darkstarexodus]

Not really as he effectively has the same mediocre squad that Rodgers had. Mane is the new Suarez etc

But I thought managers made the difference?

 

[darkstarexodus]

The Coutinho miss looks even worse on that angle

 

[Mystic]

We're getting into some good positions here, despite it feeling like Spurs are edging it.

 

[Rosco]

I reall don't like some of our hair cuts

 

[darkstarexodus]

I reall don't like some of our hair cuts

It's a bad sign when Henderson has one of the better ones.

Footballers under 25 have to have awful haircuts. I think it's written in the Premiership rules now.

 

[KopRed]

Kane does alot of this harassing and "nudging" and gets away with it alot. Maybe due to him being the new english Shearer and all.

 

[Holle]

Footballers under 25 have to have awful haircuts. I think it's written in the Premiership rules now.

And terrible tattoos up to the neck.

 

[keniget]

Matip thinks he's joined Barcelona.

 

[Mystic]

Classic Lallana that
