Liverpool v Tottenham match thread

[Sarb]

Look this all started due to him tinkering. It's a wa*k result against an average team. They've played sh*te ever since the Derby game. Took off a winger and bought on Kuyt to play wing. Is he a winger? No ****ing chance.

Too many people on here follow Rafa blindly and will slate anyone who criticises him. He's living off the European Cup and FA Cup wins. Spent £11m on Babel when we were desperate for a left winger. We still haven't sorted that problem out.

Kuyt and Torres play well together up front. Yet he doesn't even play them together up front from the start these days.

Rafa thinks too much. that's the problem

Cue the regulars telling me to go and support someone else. Sorry, but I'm a Liverpool fan and have every right to criticise sh*t decisions by the manager.

No, but saying we won't have won the league 5 years into the future is pessimissim, I don't need to know you to know that. We are clearly not out of the running to win the league this season either by a longway, hence pessimissim not realism.

Agree with you in this circumstance Matt.

You have to admit though we are not making it easy for ourselves. I don't know what the problem is. Is it Rafa? no I don't believe we have a problem there, is it rotation? maybe? Is it Paco? doubt it!

Any ideas?

That's a fair point but we are waiting 17 years and i'm getting older and more tired of this **** every year. This year like evey year for the last 10 years is "THE ONE" - now tell me where the pessimssim or realism is there,

Kuyt on the right and Benni on the bench?

This is all you've come up with?

For 8 minutes Kuyt was on as an extra striker while Benayoun was on the bench. Amazing tactical blunder, I've now seen the error of my ways.

[JohnDoe]

This is the point you don't see - It's not what he did today, it's what he's doing full stop.

You're just spouting bollocks because we got a poor result.

[Roboklopp]

Basic motivation & belief is part of a manager's jurisdiction no matter how many arguments about the players should be able to motivate themselves (which I do agree with for the record).

Also I do think we rotate far too much.

I think we're all a little upset because we're underachieving on the pitch.

Well what did you think of Beanyoun when he came on?

I thought he showed more urgency and commitment than anyone else had all ****ing game. Kuyt seemed devoid of any energy within seconds of coming on.
Can you explain why Kuyt was on the right then?

It is worringly similar to Heskey/Doof on the right isnt it?

[Kopite_Colin]

Can you explain why Kuyt was on the right then?

Because he often plays there for Holland.

[Red Chilli]

Because he often plays there for Holland.

but they've got Van Nistelrooy and Huntelaar up front

[Alex]
