Spurs v Liverpool Match Thread

[JohnDoe]

It's not luck. Our defending is atrocious and we consistently concede soft goals. We also consistently miss good chances. It's been happening for months, that's not luck. We conceded the first goal because Downing isn't a left back, and we gave up the free kick because there's a gaping hole between our defence and midfield due to lack of a proper DM with an imposing presence. Even if it wasn't a foul, when the opposition runs at you from that area so easily, **** will happen. Also, it's not luck that Henderson blew that chance, he bottled it because he's a ****ing pansy.

Stop blaming luck. You can't blame luck for events with a high probability of occurence due to us being ****.

I've seen suarez miss chances like that if not easier. nothing to do with bottle. he ****ed up. he missed. it happens.

Watch it again, he doesn't strike it like he would if he never thought he was going to get tackled, he flinched. Suarez misses because he's erratic not a **** bag. Henderson is the kind of plain and simple player that should role that in, he doesn't wanna get hurt, not even for the sake of a goal at 2-0 down when the challenge isn't remotely close.

Stating the obvious but we desperately need serious investment on the front three, Enrique is ok but just that, Sterling shouldn't be playing every game and its showing a little bit, Assaidi for some reason doesn't play, look at bale and Lennon not really a lot of trickery but fast as **** and caught us cold, if that was one of ours he would if probably stopped done a 360 shielding the ball with his arse then passed back or to a spurs player

[Lecter]

You can see our lack of quality in midfield right now sadly. Especially defensively.

I thought you said our problems were not defensive

[Jaymo]

whatever. teams that get flukey goals such as bent for sunderland with the beachball is obviously down to physics but would you not consider that a 'lucky' goal for them? And also 'unlucky' for us? Or is it supposed to even out? I know it is said you make your own luck but equally that may not happen for quite some time if at all.

Luck is a term that people use to describe an event such as the beachball incident. And I understand it as a concept.

Theres still no such thing as luck, we get one cleared off the line, it isn't bad luck its just well defended or a poor finish.

People are using "luck" and how "un-lucky" we are as an excuse, and I don't buy it for one minute.

Its something people use to hide behind when they're not doing very well, rather than stepping up to the plate and sorting it out.

[yamiedo]

Since I started watching (after 15-20mins) I'd say Enrique has been our biggest threat.

[Lecter]

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.

Has been all season

****ing hell, I haven't said we're unlucky to be losing. christ some people. I was merely arguing the fact that luck can play a part in a game of football at times. Its not why we are mid table or losing tonight.

[Robbie-9-Fowler]

He has no confidence at all.

Even Bale cheeky free kick from 35 yards out in the 5th minute almost led to their goal as he handled the strike so poorly.

Yeah that looked really poor as well but with my stream I couldn't tell, especially with the commentator going on about how much it moves.

Spot on, there isn't a hex on us or a conspiracy. We do like our excuses
