Match Threads Tottenham Hotspur vs Liverpool FC

[Gareth88]

Why will it?

I had a few to many wines and felt like a philospher.

Plus Dier offering little in midfield and Wanyama and Winks' injuries, I cannot believe that we did not strengthen in midfield. I refuse to believe there weren't players we could have got. Maddison, Seri to name just two.

Chelsea got our number 1 fucking target I have no doubt in my mind. Chasing Ndombele was foolish as Lyon were never going to sell. There are a lot of links to De Jong but even if those are true that ain't happening till next summer and we'll likely have to compete with Barca... Gonna be a long season watching this group in the middle of the field.

Poch is giving a very strange interview.

Monday's gonna be tough

 

[mrlilywhite]

Sorry but I've been saying this for months.

Saying it or thinking it is a moot point - No way does Poch drop him.

Did fans honestly think before we kicked a ball this season we were contending for the title?

The MO hasn't changed with ownership, we compete for the top four, contending is a different ball park.

Also, we have not looked fluid for a while now. Kane and Eriksen, and Son now and then, have papered over the cracks, but our general play has been dire for longer the a few games.

Something is not quite right in Tottingham

Maybe a fucked off manager who was stitched up by his under hand chairman can't blame him if he moves on at the end of the season

Can anybody summarise what Poch has said post-match?

 

[bubble07]

We were pathetically outplayed but son got fouled

Poch is giving a very strange interview.

What did he say? I switched it off at full time. Can't handle the Sky wankathon continuing from half 11 this morning

 

[thinktank]

Shocking:

Exactly.

THIS is why we lost today.

It's is our primary flaw and Poch must weed it out.

 

[ohtottenham!]

@Shadydan do you now think it is a Pen?

Clear as day! We didn't deserve to get anything from our play today, but that was a stonewall pen.

Can anybody summarise what Poch has said post-match?

Seemed like someone was holding a gun to his head to blabber on about how happy and not worried he is.

 

[Indisguise]

Can anybody summarise what Poch has said post-match?

"I can't compete because my Chairman is a tight bastard"? Reading between the lines.

Pochettino has lost the plot. I’ve never seen him like that before. Mourinho-esque. He does not have the history behind him like Mourinho does to start doing this arrogant bullshit

 

[sebo_sek]

Saying it or thinking it is a moot point - No way does Poch drop him.

He'll be a fool not to. Son and moura up front and we'll see our full potential. Playing Kane right now means we effectively field a ten man side

Personally I think it is more fatigue than new signings. That's not to say I don't agree that a couple of signings would help, but you've got some great players out there who are looking like tired Championship players right now. You can get away with a couple of knackered players, but too many tired and you've got half a team.

Youre not wrong, however we are not in a position to rotate some of those players. We have no-one of that standard.

from the bbc taken from his sky interview

Mauricio Pochettino speaking to Sky Sports: "Liverpool were better. We competed, we were close, and the action at the end of the game was crazy and the challenge on Son at the end should have been a penalty. Then the result would have been different.
"Of course I am disappointed with the result but we must keep working and improving. Today was a competitive game you can win or you can lose. There are lots of games ahead.
"There are lots of things to assess and analyse - it's early in the season and this is a moment to be cool and calm. Is this a tough time? Listen, don't worry about me!"

 

[dtxspurs]

Exactly.

THIS is why we lost today.

It's is our primary flaw and Poch must weed it out.

How is Poch going to make Dembele/Winks/Dier better over night?
