Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

The pass completion stat looks poor, but as soon as we have the ball Liverpool are on us like flies on shit. Partly on us, but also on the way they get around the field.
 
The difference between us losing and winning is our midfield so far. We are really missing that dembele type player that can body players, and find the run with a through pass.
Now, we have Bissouma and Sarr that are incapable of that. After all, Dembele was a special player.
 
If this is what pragmatism looks like I don’t like it. No courage or quality on the ball at all. really missing Romero and VDV bringing the ball out committing players and opening up passing options. All stemming from our defence not being good enough on the ball imo. I’d have Bergvall on for Sarr as well.

This is not even pragmatism, it's just a general lack of quality when we have the ball, been really shit and scared to take risks with the ball and Liverpool are winning it back easily.
 
This team is lacking confidence, understandably and we’re probably playing the best team in Europe right now. It wasn’t going to be easy. I still have hope we can nick something back
