Match Threads Tottenham Hotspur vs Liverpool FC

[vAs]

Just wait when we start playing every 3 days with the same 12 - 13 players...

 

[Phomesy]

We were in control and playing fairly well and defendin solidly then go and do that? Fuck sake

 

[Tucker]

We are very lucky not to be out of this game altogether. The defence has been a complete shambles.

 

[LexingtonSpurs]

I'd take Dier and Winks off:

Vorm
Trippier Alderweireld Vertonghen Rose
Dembele
Lamela Eriksen
Lucas Kane Son​

Why are we even trying to Play 4-3-1-2 when we have NEVER done that. And the against Liverpool in such an important game. Has not worked at all. Going long balls in VVD's head all the time is really pathetic.

433 is the future for us.

Not the shape that made unforced errors, it was individuals.

The shape allowed us to control the game between 2mins and their goal.

Once Poch starts making the right selections in that shape we'll be in business (assuming we stop owning ourselves with unforced errors).

 

[Jamturk]

Have to say that Liverpool's game is to force and then capatilise on errors which today they have done well.

 

[WiganSpur]

We look very vulnerable from set pieces, it's so frustrating when you concede goals in this way.

 

[thefierycamel]

We have zero cutting edge at the moment. We've had some half chances and been too slow or rushed the crucial pass. Meanwhile they look like scoring after almost every attack. The midfield needs to screen the defence better and then move it on quickly and forward. Importantly we're still in the game but we make the same mistakes against Liverpool pretty much every time we play them

 

[lilywhitecurtis]

We won't make a change until it's too late.

 

[spurs mental]

If we aren't to get back in this, I hope at least one of our players takes Salahs legs off.

One of the most annoying players ever to look at. Almost as bad as Nasri.

 

[Phomesy]

Pretty shit tbf.
I basically lost interest after the Watford defeat, anyhow.

It’s this kind of never say die support that helps lift the team week in week out

 

[gaz73]

that goal is shocking - pretty much all players 1-11 to blame... hate this team right now

It's infuriating.

Poch must be going into orbit in the changing room.

Dier off, Lamela on. We need some energy and fight. Lamela brings that. Plus he gave them all sorts of trouble last time we played them.

Defense has not been shielded today ... Dier, has been dier. (And thats not even including the lovely through ball he played to Mane.)

 

[yusrisafri]

My issue is that once again Poch has decided to changed his team for the opposition just like Watford.

Klopp hasn't thought right we're playing spurs away I must change everything we do just to combat the opposition.

Poch is so negative at times...

I totally disagree with your post mate. A manager needs to select a team and formation to combat the opposition. You dont just go in with the same formation day in day out without studying the opposition and devising strategies and lineups to fight them.

Im not saying Poch has made the best selection for thsi game, but thats not the point

 

[ILS]

We are not out of this Liverpool usually run out of steam in the 2nd half

Yes but they have hardly had to run first half as we keep creating their chances for them!

 

[DiscoD1882]

I'd take Dier and Winks off:

Vorm
Trippier Alderweireld Vertonghen Rose
Dembele
Lamela Eriksen
Lucas Kane Son​

Said excactly the same. Winks is way too negative. And Dier is a pass away from disaster. Fight fire with fire.

It's not as if we are short arses either

 

[ajspurs]

4 individual errors in that goal, that is totally unacceptable.

I think the players are feeling the lack of options we have when in possession of the ball and it's causing more errors as well. The setup is very wrong.
