Tottenham (H) post match Relief thread

[Fivex]

Not sure Mane is the difference but he certainly is very important. We should have won a lot of these games even without Mane, so for me consistency is the issue for us. We were very professional second half and did the sensible thing. Close the game.

We've a win percentage of something like 75% with him but around 30% without.

There are probably similar stats for Matip and a couple of others though but Mane's at the business end and it's goals that make the best difference.

Agree, nice to see us closing a game out for once. Table's looking much healthier now.

Pissed it, schooled them. Lucas was great. They did play right in to our hands though which was highly amusing. Mane is god.

Should be a lot quieter on here for a while now.

That was the most surprising thing for me, I thought they'd sit back but it was a wide open game which suited us down to the ground.

Need to bring the same intensity to the Leicester game next week now!

[red g]

more than 2 weeks till our next game. Klopp will have them well prepared for sure. Think with a game of week till the end of the season and no cups to think about really positive we can kick on and get a CL spot.

[Fredo]

If Firminho joins in we'll score more.

Firmino will be in my top 3 for MoM. He was superb with and without the ball.

[RichC]

Everyone was outstanding today, a proper performance and spurs were ever in the game 4 or 5 nil wouldn't have flattered.

Hopefully with teams back in Europe it'll see them drop a few points in the league and we've got to keep this level of football now until the end of the season

[Fredo]

Yeah it's the consistency isn't it. Keep the tempo up with every game we play and force teams into mistakes. When at our best we're the best team in the league, both offensively and defensively. It's just the consistency we're lacking, as I've touched on a few times before. Our midfield was deemed to be our achilles heel a lot but look today, all three of them were superb, with and without the ball. The way we press it's so important it's done in unison.

[cream]

That went better than I thought.

Our first eleven is brilliant, Klopp needs to build a squad to compliment that.

[Exiled_red]

Great performance, the result really flattered Spurs, it could and should have been more but given our recent form it's just nice to get a win!

Odd tactics from Spurs really, the way they set up played into our hands

[Kenneth]

Firmino will be in my top 3 for MoM. He was superb with and without the ball.

That doesn't surprise me.

[fidget]

Firmino was excellent today - Klopp said as much too.

clearly Spurs hadn't seen us in January. Really silly of them not deploying similar tactics.

Still great to see Mane look so dangerous again.

Holding Midfielders

Spurs had one today and we got through the middle of them time and time again first half.

[The_weatherman]

Huge result, I'm much more confident going into these type of games though, the space offered in behind and the fact we're playing a game of football rather that attack vs defence suits us.

Mane was obviously MoTM
Wjinaldum just adds a better balance and intelligence to the midfield
Mignolet made a huge save in the first half

On to the next one, hopefully Coutinho can get back in the swing of things too.

Really enjoyed the match, Mane the obvious one but I also think that Gini just keeps everything going so nicely, keeps the ball and moves it quickly, he needs to be a starter.

[dom9]

Buzzing. This is why it's crucial we sign more players with pace like Mane. It stretches the game. 2-0 and a great start to my week off for half term. Get in

You guys still at school?
