TBF, we do turn up at Anfield plenty of times, it's just inevitably there's a late goal, missed sitter etc to give them all three points.

Having slept on it, I'm gonna put that result down to Chelsea being absolutely shit than Woolwich being good.
Let's remember they lost 3 in a row to Palace, Brighton and Southampton.
some tough games still to go for them West ham away, United, Leeds, Newcastle, Everton (meh)
Nothing over yet, last night was a blow, undoubtedly.
we move on a hope United need to show a reaction, and we need to do our job at Brentford.

We don't - this is just confirmation bias, not sure how anyone can be more fearful or going away to a newly promoted team compared to a team where we've won 6 out of 78 and lost 50, this season the only top team we've beaten away is City, we've lost at OT, Stamford Bridge, Emirates and London Stadium
Re the Liverpool game - one, at home we had countless chances and arguable should have beaten them.
Even vs benfica and United they were regularly got at in behind Trent in particular.
this game is genuinely made for Kane and Son. I really do think we have a chance.
Our style of play suits playing them.
Brighton was a blip *worth noting Brighton got a point at Anfield too.

Woolwich where crap yesterday, their mdifield and defence was all over the place but their attackers where quite good however Chelsea where worse. It was one of the poorest games I have seen this season. If either Woolwich or Chelsea played like yesterday I would expect us to beat them by a few goals.
That's fine but we've never played Brentford away in the PL before so I fail to understand why we should be going into that match with any trepidation compared to going to Anfield.
I did actually mark the Brentford game as tricky but it's no way worse than Anfield to get any points from.

It's purely the weight of expectation, nobody is really fearful of the result at Anfield because we expect it to be a defeat so when it comes there will be little real disappointment, it's games that you feel we should win like Brentford that are the real kicker when we lose.
Nobody legitimately thinks that we are more likely to win at Anfield than at Brentford though.
I actually find it really infuriating that a shite team like Woolwich, with no recognised striker managed to score 4 away at Chelsea and we didn't score once in 4 fucking games.
This is a glowing example of what has been wrong with Spurs - going into games and almost not wanting to win them.

It is worth remembering that Sanchez Gollini and Tanganga featured in those games
The surprise, after yesterday and given our history is if we finish 4th.
Nothing in our DNA suggests this ends how we hope.

Can I shock you?
"Football DNA" is complete bollocks and an absolute myth.
the concept exists to allow journos to write bullshit articles with narratives like "Man United's DNA is to be the best"
Which is of course why once Maguire signed he became Maldini
Disagree.
We are serial losers.
Had that been us yesterday against Chelsea we would have lost
. Absolutely 100%.
Our DNA equals Do Not Advance.

Apart from the 5 or so times in the last few years where we did hold our nerve to finish above scum
Recent history suggests that we are normally okay at finishing in the top 4, it's trophies and cup finals we normally lose our head.
We never held our nerve. We were simply much better.
I am talking moments of tightness.
Okay let's see but I see it more about the crucial games/moments, and in that regard we too often get undone and left wanting.
