Post match mid table mediocrity (away at Spurs) thread

[Tatterdemalion]

There’s obvious nervousness and uncertainty in front of him owing to Lovren’s **** but we need a mentally tougher GK. I’d say this was easily our worst performance of the season, the City game had other factors - not least playing with 10 men.

We have so few options at the back it’s a wonder what we can do - give Ward a go?

Agree. We need to have a root and branch change at the back or at the top.

Lovren makes Phil Babb look like Maldini.

Jurgen Klopp: "The whole game and the whole result was pretty much all of our fault. Tottenham were good but we made it too easy for them."

The best thing about that presser was no excuses. If that had been Houllier it would have been everyone else's fault. But it did seem that Klopp had fingers to point. Trouble is whether or not he'll actually get it right.

We need a clinical striker! Spurs have Kane, Utd Lukaku, City Aguero, Chelsea Morata. We have the supporting cast but just missing a proper center forward.

Seems we score the majority of our goals on the break but put a well organised team in front of us and we struggle to score. We create chances but usually the final ball is bad. Other teams seem to be able to shoot and score without too much hassle!

I would look to get a minimum of 1 CB & Striker in Jan then another CB & GK next summer.

If we're are prioritizing our spending we have to go gettiing at least one top notch defenders in January. Rather throw buckets loads of cash at that only than spread ourselves too thin financially and come up with a bunch of average players.

Serious question, who is worse Lovren or Djimi Traore?

I think it's a tie.

[Leyton388]

Right now I'd rather have Ryan Shawcross and Johnny Evans in our defence.

He wasn't? What was all the talk of him carrying an injury then? I was sure I heard that in commentary that he had a problem in the build up to the game.

We will never win a trophy again till we sort out that defence .... yes it would be great to have a top striker as well but defence has to come first inc goalkeeper ... you start from the back

Lovren by a mile.

Jan Oblak?

No way. Djimi was better because he had a manager who knew his strong and weak points. He won the champions league ffs
