In some ways the way Liverpool want to play would have been helpful compared to how Forest, Leeds etc. are likely to play against us........ We'll ironically need more nouse and experience in the relegation 6 pointers.
Just think this is a team that should be no worse off than upper end of bottom half even with injuries considering most of our players were at least mid table quality when we bought them but the consistent number of mystifying brainfarts, shutting off as soon as we take a lead or going behind and then immediately giving up our belly, the absolutely horrifying state of our home record for the last 2 years, yet turning up for the big European games under the lights, it's all indicative of a massive fucking attitude problem. We've trusted this shower to pick up enough points not to get fucking relegated for 3/4 of the season and look where we are, 29 pts after 29 games. We need to shake it up, only wish we had recalled Moore in Jan even if we had to pay for it, coming back with the wind in his sails he could 100% have contributed from the left.
 
Just watched the highlights on MOTD, and it looked like we had our fair share of chances, and Surprise, Surprise - a reasonably good shout for a penalty not given against VVD.
Let's hope that this will instill some confidence into the team and we can start climbing the table,
 
This is the kind of game a team like Liverpool will not look forward to. It's hard to keep an edge when you come in knowing the other side is struggling. If Spurs park the bus I think they'll lose. The key might be to get an early goal and throw everything you've got at them to come up with a second. If they concede possession to Liverpool it will just be another dull, gray affair that could degenerate into something worse.
Proving once again how little I know. Spurs did play a little cautiously and still did well.

How was that not a penalty? I try to be fair minded and acknowledge I don't understand the rules as well as I should, but I had no doubt VAR would award a penalty on that.
 
Gray was also on the pitch then.

Gray made 1 pass into the attacking third the whole game.

Completed 19 passes in 95 minutes. Sarr 39.

I'm surprised we haven't tried Gray at RCB in a back three- I think he'd do rather well there.

Gray is almost too nice and unselfish as a player. Would be great for him to have a season somewhere where he is asked to dictate play as a pure 8, to see if he can do it. Right now he is just very deferential in CM. There's a chance a more visionary coach could get him to open up his play while with us, but it's hard for me to see it happening while he is here.

Our MF looks the best it has all season with Sarr and Gray.

No point changing that at this point when it’s showing signs of working
