Match Tottenham Hotspur vs Liverpool | 6 Nov 2022 | KO 16:30 | Second Half Match Thread

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Some hopium:

Maybe dropping down the table will be a blessing, in 3rd place Conte just operates in protection mode (clearly isn't aiming to win the league, he's going for top 4). If we drop out the top 4, then we have to start playing and chasing.

Conte and Tottenham only work when we're behind.
 
This is getting boring, the Dressing Room is clearly such a magical whimsical place of self reflection and a personal enlightenment that we can perform like that second half, what do they use it for before the game? Sitting around watching PornHub?
 
Can't believe we're paying a manager 15m a year to lose to anyone half decent this season. Any big games, home or away, we are dreadful. Trading on having individuals who pick us up points vs everybody else.
Fucking fick thus stupid tactics! He needs to grow some balls, take the handbrake off and get the team to play with energy, aggression and pace from the off. This defeat may not be all on conte but it’s a combination of the general shite we play in most games. The 2nd half is what I’ve been screaming about for ages. Aggressive, first to 2nd ball, urgency, intensity crosses into th box. That is the only way we can and should play. We can”t play like goons or citeh not with conte and we can’t play this shit low block. So just ficking ho for it. Lucas sun was too late. Again conte being too cautious or he could have put on Gil a bit earlier if Lucas not fully fit. His holding is back too much with tactics, subs and picking crap like royal who should have been subbed soon as he put that cross to no one.
 
Deserved better. We played well for most of the game in my opinion.

Two shots off the woodwork, two pens not given (and two more FKs just outside the box not given), a defensive lapse for a goal, and then a complete gift from Dier conspired to give the worse team 3 points.
 
I am rapidly turning against Conte if he is going to keep picking the likes of Dier, Davies, and jesus fucking wept Royal.
The worse player I can ever remember in a Spurs shirt, can't defend, can't attack, can't pass, can't cross, can't tackle. He's absolutely fucking rank.

He should have started with Kulu and if he didn't have a full 90 in him taken him brought him off, the formation and selection was laughable.

Getting sick and tired of his negativity.

And its incompetence to keep selecting these same shit players, who keep making the same costly mistakes.
 
The second half was great but I'm afraid you simply don't deserve to win shit if you write off the first half of every single match in this league.

Liverpool were there for the taking, we decided we'd rather lose.

This has to change. It's not sustainable. We're not making top 4 again unless we wake the fuck up.
 
Having Kulu, Romero, and Son on at the same time would be great.
  • Kulu, outside of Son, clearly has the best chemistry with Kane. Saw it in the first 3 minutes today after the sub
  • Romero shores up the back and often starts the counter attacks the forwards depend on (makes lack of creativity in midfield less apparent)
  • Say what you will about Son, touch has faded this year, etc., but at least he shoots the ball on occasion
 
We played well right after 1-0, it wasn’t just a second half performance.

Hit woodwork twice.

Perisic and Bissouma have finally settled in- Liverpool struggled against both today.

Lots of great signs- but we need to buy a new CB and RWB in Jan.
 
Think about it !!

Three of our defeats,

Woolwich - Lloris error
Newcastle Lloris error
Liverpool - Dier error

Shocking defensive errors you wouldn’t see in the National League. So poor…
 
Conte seems to punish the players who aren't playing, rather than punishing the players who aren't performing by subbing / dropping them. It must make the dressing room fractious. Feel genuinely sorry for Gil
