Match Threads Tottenham Hotspur vs Liverpool FC

[kaz Hirai]

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

Wanyama, lloris, Dele, son, sanchez, lamela, aurier and Davies can quite easily start

So thats 19 players by my count. The squad isn't that weak, Jesus wept! Over reaction

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).

This isn't 4-3-3 though.

The shape is fine... Apart from being ultra narrow... And then when we lose the ball we immediately have midfielders expected to constantly rush 20-30-40 yards to try and cover spaces... And they always have fullbacks open to switch the play, overload our flanks and generally just run covering midfielders into the ground and open gaps as they pull us about.... Oh and we just cant press in general with two central strikers up top, a No.10 in no mans land and a narrow midfield.

But yes, the shape is fine......

Prove a point to the baldy **** maybe ?

Bit pointless though when the transfer window is shut.

Why Pochettino? Why? Why the fuck play a midfield 3 of Winks, Dembele and Dier in front of a back 4?
Absolute farcical decision.
Just a truly fucking stupid decision.
We’re lucky to be only 1 down.
Unfortunately can only see things getting much worse.
Just fucking awful.

We've looked a bit toothless and not sure why Dier is RM but other than that there hasn't been too much wrong with the shape. It's just been the application from the players, misplacing easy passes and there's a lack of movement at times further forward.

 

[Colonel_Klinck]

I think it's tactics. He is dropping deep and Lucas is furthest forward. Needs to be out wide and Kane up top to bully van dick.

We are playing into their hands and it's all damn meh.

I wish it was just that. The Kane before that injury didn’t get the ball caught up in his feet, he had that extra 10% that had him beating the defender to the shot. To me he just seems to be lacking that extra bit that made him a world beater.

 

[mrlilywhite]

Plan B? Poch it's over to you mate!

 

[Tucker]

Not many good back up keepers around though

I’ve seen Lloris flap at balls like that too many times to say he’d have done any better than Vorm on that one.

Should of paid out then

 

[dagraham]

Ref's a twat, vorm's shit & eriksen's playing crap. Game over unless we can get more from CE

I know getting boring now, but this is what happens when you rely on one player to provide the creative spark year after year.

 

[StevePil]

Rights, lets get into them and improve please....

We need something here today IMO after the Watford game, or we could really struggle with our next few games away as they will be tough with the CL in there too

Not ready to throw in the towel. Sure Liverpool s attack looks incredibly dangerous but if you take out the Spur's mental mistakes, this game is close. Need Moura on right and Kane next to VVD to start forcing issues and mistakes in Pool defense.

 

[doctor stefan Freud]

Poch has to end the love affair.

It’s getting silly really. He looked slow and turgid mostly for England too. We need to move to a 433 or 4231 with pace and directness either side of Kane. Two up top doesn’t seem to suit Kane. A coming off the back of injury Winks, a creaking Dembele and a limited Dier is such a fucking flat midfield.

 

[kendoddsdadsdogsdead]

This team is really lacking pace and energy at the moment especially in midfield

 

[Jamturk]

I'd like to see Lamela introduced

 

[SpursD22]

No changes for us, imagine my surprise

 

[cjbyid]

Should've brought lamela on at HT

 

[TEESSIDE1]

Liverpool praise praise praise = we win 3-1 lol

 

[dickieven]

I thought that was a bit like the Man U game. Started slow and then grew in to it. Just a shit goal to concede.

 

[yankspurs]

Moved to a back 3
