Match Threads Liverpool Vs Tottenham: Match Thread

[doctor stefan Freud]

Imagine it’s the 1970s. Imagine a yacht with Roger Moore clothed in nothing but captain’s hat and nautical cravat. Next to him, reclining on the deck is a woman. A sophisticated, beautiful woman, more interested in swimwear and being courted by international playboys than second wave feminism and gender autonomy. Imagine Roger sets anchor, bronzed in his prime, turns to the woman, smiles and takes her in his arms.

That’s us and Liverpool. Rogerings ahoy

Hubby is a Liverpool fan and we have a strict rule that we don’t watch the game together (or talk about it) and simply look at result afterwards. We are doing pub lunch today to avoid it.
Only exception was champions league final where I went to WHL and he watched at home - although we have still never talked about that game. That’s the problem with two very passionate yet opposing fans getting married!

Question is why did you marry a Liverpool fan?? I did that once, soon recognised the error of my ways!

It'd be lovely to dish up Liverpools first loss of the season that's for sure, quietly confident for reasons I can't explain

Alcohol might explain it

I'm going for a win!!!!???

The media narrative about Liverpool is that Klopp is going to lead an unstoppable Liverpool to their first Premier League Championship. But the truth is in 7 out of the first 9 league games they've rode their luck.

In the first game against newly promoted Norwich 2 of their first 3 goals were gifts - 1st one a sliced clearance for an OG after 7 minutes and the 3rd a uncontested header by VVD because he was marked by the smallest defender(!) - he didn't even have to jump. Norwich then went on todominatethe 2nd half and won it 1-0. it would have been a much tighter affair without those two 1st half gifts.

They slaughtered Arsenal but Emery's formation/tactics bizarrely helped Liverpool's attacking strengths allowing their full backs freedom of the flanks ( Despite the evidence of his own eyes he never changed anything!!) and then to make it worse Luiz gifted them a penalty immediately after half time to make it 2-0 and game over. He was hopelessly at fault for their 3rd also.

At Burnley their first goal was an OG from a wicked deflection from a TAA CROSS followed a few moments later by Mee passing the ball to Firmino in his final third. one pass and Mane 1 on 1 with goalkeeper - 2-0 game over.

Chelsea outplayed them for most of that game and had an equalizing goal ruled out for offside by a VAR decision as tight and as wrong as the one against us at Leicester and then missed a couple of easy chances late on.

They won at Sheffield Utd because of a howler from the goalkeeper who let a soft shot slip through his hands.

They won at Leicester with a penalty in added on time. There was contact from Albrighton on Mane but I didn't think there was any way enough contact to cause him to fall down the way he did. A very "soft" penalty. Not all contact in the box is a penalty.

And then last week if it hadn't been for both Rojas and Young inexplicably ball-watching and leaving Llanna free at the back post ManU would have deservedly beaten them.

Hardly the track record of the invincible champions to be that the media wants us to believe. I've been saying for weeks that their luck has to run out soon and I'm rooting for it to happen against us. It's about time we had some luck at Anfield. If we play with the same verve and desire as we did against Red Star - different kettle of fish I know - then if their lucky streak doesn't continue AND we get a smidgen of luck ourselves we are more than capable of getting all 3 points. A victory there could be the result to kickstart out season. A lot of course depends on Poch not trying to be too clever and stick with the team and tactics of midweek.

yeah, well, that’s just like, your opinion, man.

Honestly think we will either get spanked, or nick a 2-1 win

You read that essay?!?!? You might have far too much time on your hands.

I absolutely hate this tie. I would take a battling draw right now.

I know -but we’re ten years in now! This season could be the worst yet though.

If this was about us and posted on RAWK we'd be pissing ourselves laughing and overly mocking it.

We've generally scored some bangers at Anfield.

Bless you, I feel your pain. It will never get easier ?

This. Liverpool don't look great every game. But they've made a habit of winning those they don't. At this point their ability to grind out results can't be put down just st to luck.

Me to. I’m getting sweaty hands just thinking about it!

All the Liverpool fans I know are being very quiet about the game today though, which is strange for them. Maybe I sense fear.....or more likely they’re storing it up for the barrage of piss taking afterwards!

 

[yankspurs]

I think the XI will tell us alot about how the season will go. Could be the most important XI in a few years at this point. Does Poch stick with an XI that played well and finally implemented what he wanted mid week or bring back in players bang out of form and dont care?
