Apologies I was going to edit the post as I did think afterwards it came across like that. Still half asleep.
The tweet is made up nonsense obviously but you can see them all thinking that.
I thought it was funny as it was so ridiculous.

We were good at 11 vs 11, I would agree.
As soon as they went down to 10 men though. It's like we didn't know what to do and our performance dropped. Liverpool were actually the better team once they went down to 10 men until the end of the first half, in my opinion.
The second half in general was a mess. Too narrow, too void of ideas, too many needless passes. I can understand playing against 9 men is tough, you don't train for it and it's literally you against a wall but we were predictable.
We move on. We got 3 points and got out of there and to do it in the last minute will do wonders for the teams belief. A real seismic moment I feel.
Can Mendes have a free hit at an open goal at OT as well while we're at it? Imagine if that had been Liverpool!!?All this talk of replaying the game, should we replay the 1986 World Cup QF whilst we're at it?
VAR has already got a little carried away with its own importance... I still think Goal Line technology should be the limit of intervention (see above!)Nothing should happen at Spurs’ expense or else it would set a major precedent. For starters, Wolves would then want reparations from their game against United back in August. The refs had to issue a statement for that game too. There would be a giant chain reaction of shit.
The best Liverpool are going to get is a rules change in the VAR room. Maybe we’ll even get mic’d up officials. It’s not new to us though, it’s just like how we’ve had two games in the last few years where they literally changed the handball rule after
The ire at us is what's annoying, but not unsurprising.Either way, subconsciously or not, we're fucked the next time a dubious decision is about to go in our favour ...
I think we should just forfeit the match at Anfield now... Cos there's no way in hell we're getting ANYTHING up there (again) this season....
Save us all the journey time & money, and just let them play against XI Spurs cardboard cutouts until they've scored enough goals they deem worthy of punishing us with!
Rewatched the game and I agree.
11v11 we were the better team.
10 men turned Liverpool into peak Jose Chelsea with Salah as a target man.
They baited us into giving them chances to counter down our left.
We still had standout performances from individuals BUT
As a team we didn’t create any high % opportunities other than Son’s volley.
That’s because we are really early in the process of this team building and haven’t worked on situations like this through experience yet.
Knowing us, if we were to do this we’d lose the league on goal difference.Either way, subconsciously or not, we're fucked the next time a dubious decision is about to go in our favour ...

Think you spelt the last word wrongThey are honestly the dirtiest team in the premier league.
I have no doubt Jones wanted to stick one on Bissouma because they know how important he is for us.
Jota should have been booked twice before his first yellow. Forearm to the face on a jump and a hack on Bissouma when he blew by him.
They were leading with forearms and elbows on aerial challenges from the start. Diaz, Jota when he came on.
Tbh they played like a Jose Chelsea team. Direct hoofs or quick counters down our left once they went down to 10.
After all that Allison was their best player and made 2 world class saves. And they still feel hard done by.
Honestly starting to think they are a cult
Maddison's strike that was finger-tipped around the post?
Richarlson's pass across the goal face that Kulusevski didn't make the yards to reach?
They constantly created overloads out wide in that first half and we couldn't handle it at times. They literally scored two goals (one being disallowed) with 10 men in that first half. They were a threat. Even going through the OMT will tell you that and everyone thought the same.
Liverpool are probably the worst team to play against if you're going up against a team with 10 men. So much pace in that attack, a huge threat on the counter. Newcastle will tell you that.
Second half we definitely went up a gear though in terms of asserting our dominance. Ange most certainly wasn't happy with the tippy tappy nonsense we decided to randomly show up with this game.
There’s no way that can happen. The absolute can of fucking worms that will open will be huge…This so called journalist is more Hunchback of Notre Dame than Nostradamus
His twitter feeds an embarrassing load of guesses that never happened.
25 year old wrong un stealing knickers off clothes lines is my guess.

I did. It was our poorest performance of the season that needed a shit load of luck to happen the way it did. From an offside goal to an own goal in the dying seconds.
We were far too slow and childish in our play. Little fucking tika taka passes between eachother against 10 men was stupid. Immature.
That last minute goal doesn't change the performance, just the result. We were a second away from everyone calling the result a joke an an abomination. That's on performance.
Obviously I don't really care now the games over and done with. We won at home to Liverpool. And I was buzzing. But the performance was poor no two ways about it. And those ratings reflect that. They don't all go up one or two just because we happened to get a lucky break.
We matched them and they couldn't bully us so they lost their discipline. Then they parked the bus and we didn't have enough depth on the bench to exploit. 11 vs 11 with no bus parking we would have matched a good Liverpool side, probably still nicking a win with our home advantage.
Richy pass was 11v11
Maddison shot was a world class save but was outside the box so not really high %, even if hes great at those shots.
Allison was still the MOTM though, I agree.
Just saying the team could improve vs 10 and 9 men.
