Watch it again and try and find one decent chance that we made but not surprising with ten menYawn. Didn't say this. Second time you've repeated a lie.
Liverpool were comfortable, but not because of a tactical error to my mind, but because Sissoko chucked an arm in the air and gave them a free goal, and because the personnel lacked the ability to change the game.
We got in to some OK positions and were not struggling defensively, so the overall setup was okay. If Pochettino made errors it was with team selection, I didn't see a glaring tactical mistake he's meant to have made. Guilty of not being creative enough at worst.
So our tactics were so good they couldn’t deal with going 1-0 down
Our tactics were based around a system we didn’t have players for, but were good?
You win the prize for a post that is relevant today rather than about a match over 2 years ago.I have a sneaky feeling Kane will score today, his body language and general demeanour look lots better than in recent weeks.

We didn't have any clear cut chances, but nor did they (aside from a stupid penalty which was a gift). It was a tight match, which shows me Pochettino didn't get the setup wrong, since they had better players than we did and yet we restricted them.
Son had a solid half chance though, and Lucas had a chance from inside the box. Neither chances were worse than the one Origi scored from. There were a few other half chances but VVD and Alisson played very well.
Again, you can criticise him for not playing Kane and that's fair. But as a team we looked pretty structured and played a reasonable game.
We were playing Liverpool. They got 100 points and just won 4-0 vs Barcelona to get to the final. You can have a setup which isn't too bad and still lose a game to two close moments vs them, you're aware right? It doesn't have to be a disasterclass from the manager.
Both teams setup fairly decently, but we had Sissoko give away a pen and Origi showed a bit of quality. I didn't say Pochettino's setup was genius, but it was demonstrably fine and gave the players a platform to get opportunities, which they didn't take.
It's called balance. He made an error in starting Kane because he didn't look right. The rest of the team was basically correct.
It was an errorHe definitely did not make an error in starting Kane.
‘Not playing Kane’??
But we didn’t restrict them at all they just parked the bus and we never looked like getting through because we were playing with ten men
That’s down to Poch
Ok but here comes the Poch fanbois Igula**for playing!
That's fair. As I said, I'll leave it there. That games better off left to the past now.

Quick come call Kane a flat-track bully so this thread can stop being about Poch!
Where are all the Kane loversMuch better from Kane today. Yes it was against Newcastle but credit given to where credit is due. Lets hope he continues to show up. Looks like he was actually having fun out there today.
