Spurs vs Liverpool Post match thread

[sean_lfc]

Started badly. Conceded a wonder goal, got a harsh red card by a ref out there to please the crowd, continued to struggle in ten men but held on somehow, got another red card because Skrtel is thick, and then collapsed because playing with nine men is very difficult.

Quite agree on that.

We started with Downing on the right, and I just dunno why the **** he plays out right. Henderson needs more protection, but unfortunately Adam was sent off after 20 seconds so that kinda put that out the window, as Lucas had to take care of everything, which didn't seem to work out either.

We need Stevie back, simple as that. Mentally it'll be a right boost having him back, he's been out since March.

Sick of this Downing on the right bollocks. I know he played there a bit last year but it reminds me of when we signed a high quality left winger in Kewell and Houllier immediately started playing him on the right.

[Daniel 7]

I'm really angry with that. This should have been a statement of intent game, instead we meekly rolled over and lost in the first few minutes. Adam cannot tackle and is not good enough. The key though was sticking Skrtel against Bale - he is a rash tackler and indisciplined, impatient. As soon as he was on a yellow, he was going to be sent off.

Kenny ****ed this up. We don't look as prepared or confident as we did under Benitez. We looked better against Spurs last season.

****ing hell.

Who is the chick on paddy power ads? I would.

Top four still on? ATM I would put top for at
1 United
2 City
3 Chelsea
4 Spurs
Arsenal and ourselves fighting it out for 5th.
Oh Adebayor looks good in the LFC shirt

Poor, but it might be worth remembering we are still above our main competitors for 4th. And given the away fixtures we've had thats not bad. Need to improve bigtime though and im sure we will.

Results like this do highlight that we have some genuine evil, scum following us though which is a shame.

Spurs and Arsenal have both played United, Spurs have now played City and us aswell. I'd say

I don't think its fair to compare other fans to "evil scum" everyone has different opinions and react in different ways, but to call them that doesn't seem fair.

I dont think this is as bad as everyone is making out.

Lets take into account spurs had what will be they're best performance of the season. They wont play that well again - i wouldn't be surprised if they lost to wigan next week.

Also (our own fault mind) we were down to 9 men for at least a third of the game.

We've had a tough start to the season (away to spurs, arsenal & spurs), so lets hope this is just a blip and we move on.

Kicked off, then collapsed, then conceded a wonder goal..... etc

[kemm1]

Pretty good summary but nobody will remember that but that we took the worst beating from Spurs probably ever.

Poor excuses IMO, I think we just got outplayed by the BETTER team and it wouldn't have made a difference if we had 11 on the pitch.

We threw too much money away and just don't have the quality............IMO

See the eyes on that Adebayor whore. I've never seen a case of someone needing a drug test more since Maradona in 94!

[Mr Darko]

****s me off that Spurs are allowed to get a £25 million striker on loan for free because those blue manc cunts don't have room for him in their squad.

Why does Adam made so many stupid challenges? Doesn't he realise if he goes off it'll lose the team the game. He's made several dodgy challenges in our penalty box too.

Pisses me off the Spurs post-match wankfest - we were ****e and handed them the game by playing awfully and getting two players sent off rather than them winning it - 3 of their 4 goals came whilst we had 2 players sent off ffs.

[Gibbo]

I am so pissed off

[Lecter]

I feel angry like everyone else. Can't blame the ref at all for the defeat.

WTH was Skrtle thinking?

Skrtel is rash all the time

Should Kenny have started Flannagan at rightback

Big call because the lad struggled earlier this season and but options are few and far between with Kelly & Johnson out

[Daniel 7]

Who started on the left of midfield?

[Chris]

Spurs and Arsenal have both played United, Spurs have now played City and us aswell. I'd say

And two of Spurs were at home. So?
