Spurs v Liverpool Match Thread

Ads are showing Canadian sports, anyone heard of Crashed Ice? Looks pretty exciting!

Take off Downing and move Enrique in LB position and then drop Gerrard and Hendo and replace them with Suso and Assaidi.

We are 2 down and we need more creativity.

[Gibbo]

I don't know if Allen is knackered or this is a form dip or what.

Lucas will make a difference to this side.

Renia to blame for Spurs second goal? 5Live reporter at the game saying there was no deflection and Renia made a mistake diving the wrong way.

[BobTheCharmer]

I hate this luck thing. There's no such ****ing thing as "LUCK".

In one way or another, we are not good enough.

of course there is you plank. a defender hits the ball against his team mate and it flys over the bar one week and flys in for an own goal for another team is luck.

Played well. Since I've tuned in anyway. I missed the first 15. Were they defensive errors?

Spurs look like they'll score every time Bale gets it
Sterling has done very very very little - needs to get involved either by coming inside or looking for the ball
Suarez is the only world class player we have - our best player by a mile
Enrique has done well
Our midfield is so weak - something needs to change at half time
Think it will finish 3-1 or 3-0

There is a massive gap between the defence and midfield. We have no one protecting the back 4 so spurs have acres of space to play in.

its never easy to play. easier maybe. it would have been easy for the players heads to drop. nothing to be achieved by slating the performance.

In this league its rare a team goes 2/3 down and carries on getting slaughtered 5 or 6 unless you're one of the ****ter teams.

Okay the odd example will be found, last year or so especially but in general going 2-0 takes the pressure off the **** bag players. Downing/Henderson, because the game is all but gone and they have nothing to lose, the small time mentality is still there, a DRAW would now be a success.

He is not wrong.

He completely got caught off guard.

Yes, that's luck.. nothing to do with physics.

I'm the plank...

Scary isn't it, defense dropping makes it harder for the midfield to close it quickly and that's made harder by the lack of effort of the midfield to even get back.

Dembele is pissing on all our midfielders, class above.

[Leyton388]

Riena was at fault for the second goal.

Been the case for ages now. Seems Lucas is actually the only player we have capable of positioning himself properly there.

No back up for Lucas - same problems as last season.

[Gibbo]

Gareth Bale is a very good player
