If you actually watched the whole Liverpool game you would have indeed wanked. To compare the two games as an advert for football is a bit like saying that compared to Lady Gaga a big fat bird looks a bit of alright. You may poke both of them, but one of which you would do so with your eyes firmly closed. That in a nutshell my friend was the difference between the Spurs and Liverpool performance tonight.
I am shitting myself at the thought of Dawson defending against Suarez at the halfway line in a couple of weeks time.

Yes it's a bit concerning I guess we are looking at another home defeat.

It'll probably be a good idea to use the day to finish your Christmas shopping. Your relentless negativity can't be healthy, particularly with the season of goodwill coming up!

I'll be eternally grateful if someone can find a gif of Paulinho's flip flap meg on Riise.

Cheer up everyone, we won!!!
GET IN!
If we're winning (the majority) of games and not playing our best imagine what will happen when we do start moving up into 5th gear?
Bring it on!
All season you've been calling for your mate Defoe to play, well in your opinion how did he do?

I thought he did fine. Great ball to Paulinho, great pass to Lamela. He was far more involved than Soldado.

i watched the first half and the one thing that stood out for me was the change in formation. We started with inverted wingers and were there for the taking but after 15 mins Lamela and Lennon back on their familiar wings and we looked the much better team - our players looked like they finally had an outlet. AVB needs to drop this stupid inverted wingers.
Defoe and Paulinho just seem out of ideas at the moment. I dont understand why some say Defoe should start ahead of Soldado. Would we want Rasiak starting if he scored loads of goals against minnows across Europe? Fact is Defoe doesnt suit our attempted way of playing football. Has anyone noticed that many a managers at Spurs just havent fancied him as a starter? If he so much better than Soldado, then why didnt someone come in for him at around £10m? that would have been a bargain. He is a sub.
Paulinho needs to be given the freedom he had against Man Utd to push up and be a threat.
More importantly, AVB needs to understand that last season when we were looking like title challengers (before bale started scoring loads of goals) our CM partnership was Dembele and Sandro - then Sandro got injured. We looked good against Man Utd.... first time this season in PL our CM partnership was Dembele and Sandro. when Dembele is back, he needs to start with Sandro.

Was a very frustrating game yesterday. Dawson is just a liability to anyone with a slight bit of movement/intelligence as seen with Berbatov yesterday, he just spends the majority of the game on his arse. Was Kaboul injured yesterday? If so I think we need to start thinking about bringing in a new CB to compete with Vertonghen and Chiriches as Dawson just isn't good enough to rely on.
Another thing I find annoying is constantly trying Lamela and Lennon on the left wing when neither are capable of playing there comfortably. Surely Chadli was the suitable option considering the support he offered Vertonghen who looks shaky currently at LB. Even then if you're wanting to rotate the only real suitable option is Sigurdsson and tbh I thought it was silly to go into the season with one natural left winger, three right wingers and one left back. Even if BAE doesn't fit AVB's system he'd be a better option than putting our best CB there.

I thought he was awful apart from the first 10mins. I love JD but he is not the answer. Our attacking threat realy came from Lamela and Lennon, and rarely did i see them interact with Defoe.

Absolute nonesense, far more involved?
In fact you can probably say his
Performance was no better than Soldado's on Sunday.

I have only just seen our goals and our first goal could well have been disallowed, Defoe was well offside strolling back like a walk in the park and had to be interfering.

I just don't think we move the ball quick enough and look to move into the space.
there was an example in the game yesterday when we broke, Defoe was to the left, someone was to the middle/right and we were running down the middle, instead of the person moving out wide they stayed in the middle meaning it was over crowded and couldn't get a shot in.
My stream was bad so couldn't see who it was at that point.
