Love it! I'm bloody drunk now on a rail replacement ****ing bus... what the ****! I needed pizza....I think it was a great game but I can't remember much! Bring on match of the daye

Aw man. I kinda forgot how poor Spurs tactics were. Hopefully we can continue this form regardless of home and opposition. Galling how good we are against good sides and muck against muck.

We're muck against teams who put 11 men behind the ball.

Anyone else gets ripped apart.

If anything, this game should highlight this trend even more than the past months' worth of form.

Klopp said that our problem is about rhythm (or a lack of sometimes). Against teams that sit deep, we fall into a style which makes the team lose it (rhythm) somewhat. We managed to be really compact all game today, so that gave us a chance because we didn't do anything stupid all game.

I'm not sure I fully buy this theory. We ripped apart plenty of weaker teams early on in the season. There were aberrations of course but nothing like the last few months when we weren't playing with a full deck.

Those teams in the early games hadn't figured out the formula.

Once the code was cracked, everybody followed suit. And it worked. And I wager that it will still work when we play the rest of the **** teams.

Unless we play a different way against those that sit deep & look to counter.

Oh. Yeah. That's what my other post alluded to. Spurs didn't follow the type against us and that played into our hands.

But it still stands that the Mane loss coincided with a poor run. Also Lallana back in midfield can't be underestimated either.

I'll wait and see what theory is right. I'm not sure myself.

I loved the kneeling behind the wall idea, why has no one done this before?

There were spells where Mane was away, Coutinho, Lallana, Matip, Henderson were injured, Firmnho losing form.. Etc etc etc. Ended up being bad times.

We found the perfect formula for a little while. But then the likes of those were out combined with teams figuring us out, then it was a bollocks.

Yeah. Teams decided Milner and Clyne were grand to give freedom to and we could barely muster a shot on or off target.

Onwards and upwards (hopefully)

Happy with result and performance. Effort was superb.

But spurs played into our hands, they didn't sit back and gave us space. If every team did this, the league is ours.

I'm not convinced we can play like that against a team that sits deep. Mane would have had no space to run into. I still think we are going to struggle to create much. Second half we did enough to be comfortable but we hardly created anything.

Play with pace we look menacing, slow it down and we are average. How do you play fast when your opponents sit deep? I don't think we have the answer.
