Spurs v Liverpool Match Thread

[BobTheCharmer]

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.

sorry but that last paragraph is ****ing bollocks. nothing personal in the slightest.

Gareth Bale is a very good player

I think the score-line flatters Spurs.

Bar speculative attempts, we've had the clearer chances. Spurs have a defence all at sea and a keeper that's a bit wild and if we had a midfield that turned up, we'd be a bit more controlling.

He is not wrong.

He completely got caught off guard.

Seriously??? Was hard to tell on my screen just assumed it took a huge deflection! I was thinking to myself, if this is on target and not down his throat its a goal. What's happened to him and us

Can't keep blaming luck.

When you start with a team that has Downing & Henderson in it.... well that's not gonna end too well.

[Fosterbloke]

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.

I disagree, we'll get easily muscled off the ball with those two. Spurs have strong and fast players.

[Leyton388]

We need to get shelvey on so he can protect the back 4 and close the gap between the defence and midfield.

[Est:1982]

Looked like a deflection for the second goal but the ball just moved in the air. Something Brad Jones dealt with well during his time between the posts - not always tidily, but effectively.

I have got laughed at for comments like that.. over rated people said!!! WTF!

Super player and a force of nature when he gets going

I thought Reina was caught flat-footed after the ball took a deflection off Henderson's face and went into the opposite corner?

My stream isn't the best, mind.

[Leyton388]

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.

Mate even when Lucas is back i have doubts that it will make a difference with the way rodgers sets the team out. Hope i'm wrong becuse if lucas retruns and it doesn't make a difference we will be in trouble.

[Robbie-9-Fowler]

I'm convinced it's true mate, certain players can't handle the pressure of being expected to win games.

Henderson, **** out and missed an open goal, scared of being tackled. Gives away a free kick seconds later and then **** out in the wall. (according to the commentator I couldn't tell). Weak mentality, would you **** see someone with bottle half hearted in the tackle that never even came when there is an open goal.

[Shaggy]

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.

Same every time. Once an opposition player gets in that gap with the ball at his feet we are ****ed.
