Tottenham vs Liverpool: Match Thread

[haxman]

So toothless, so much for me claiming it will be different today.

 

[Romulus]

Most disappointing to me is the effort. Going down without much fight and players don't seem to care.

this is it mate, this is it

 

[Sweetsman]

Well, you can learn a lot more from your defeats than your wins at times.

 

[Gaz_Gammon]

Based on this we have to get a couple of people in, but more importantly remember we have a new manager! A bit of patience and acknowledgement that there will be some ups and downs for a while would be nice.

Didn't we say this about AVB......Sherwood?

 

[Adam456]

Their defending has been superb today in general. Thinking what if we had broken the bank for Lovren

 

[guiltyparty]

Liverpool's first clean sheet in 11 games

 

[stemark44]

Only one thing that stood out to me in terms of a difference today.

DESIRE.

They out scrapped us...

They are quicker,stronger,more determined,more work rate and more skillful.

 

[RuskyM]

such a staggering change of pace. last week we looked golden, now we look terrified. nothing's changed except the opposition. meaning our players are scared of the big games

how the fuck are we going to be anything impressive when that happens

 

[DEFchenkOE]

Our players are standing around. They make the pass and just watch. Everyone looking for the other guy to beat someone 1v1.

This is a big point, you hit the nail on the head. Townsend doesn't know the meaning of pass and move. Pass and stand is his thing, and he's not the only one.

I don't mind losing 0-3 if it had been end to end and we just didn't take our chances but we had 2 chances from long balls and literally nothing apart from that. Has Mignolet had a save to make 2nd half?

 

[Mr Pink]

This game has been dead for half an hour.

How disappointing is that.

 

[samspurs92]

At least Lamela is trying. More than you can say for the others.

No winning mentality.

 

[SamR]

Taught a lesson today. Lacking in talent and game changers when we're facing a very good team. We'll be okey this year but on this performance will struggle against the top 5 teams. We need the whole team to be on it unfortunately - few slackers and it goes to pot without the Bale's off this world

 

[paulcumpstone]

has it finished yet?

as a contest, nearly an hour ago

 

[amathews3416]

Lamela loses the ball a bit because he actually tries to make something happen going forward but gets no support. Rest of team is content with playing side and back passes all game.

 

[radkovic]

such an uninspiring performace all over the pitch.

 

[Indisguise]

We look like an AVB team today.

 

[Donki]

Just don't see what he offers. Where the tenacity that a defensive midfielder needs? Sandro chases all day whereas Capoue seems to take a touch and pass sideways.

But Sandro of late, apart from his injuries, is extremely rash and IMO ventures too far forward for a DM.

 

[Pimp_Spur]

At least we had the excuse of playing with 10 men last season......this year we are just plain shit

 

[Syn_13]

That was blatantly a shot by Andros there.

 

[Danny1]

Eriksen looks waaaaaaayy off the pace aswell for some reason!
