Spurs v Liverpool 16 Dec 20:00

[Twoleftfeet]

I’m effing FURIOUS. How many times have we lost the game or lost the lead in the last few minutes?
Have we never played this game before? Are we rank amateurs?

 

[ArcspacE]

Of all the games to drop ndombele. Fuckin stupid

Agreed - shocking by Jose

 

[snowkarl]

Your logic doesn’t hold up. He made a defensive sub with Reg but that didn’t lead to a corner, they had loads of corners before the sub was made.
Having an extra defender should have helped avoid concede from a corner.

We lost control of the game because we no longer had any outlets with which to counter/score/push back their defensive players.

If you have more players forward, theirs will be forced to follow. Keep every deep and you allow the opposition to push forward more players. It's really simple.

Aurier was not outstanding. Liverpool targeted him and got their reward.
He gave away the FK for the CP goal and he gave away the corner that led to the goal tonight.
He makes mistakes.

Aurier was up against Mane and Robertson. Probably the best combination in world football.

He was outstanding.

Big picture: Leicester this weekend finishes off an incredibly testing run of matches and we've done unbelievably well overall. Even with these two recent disappointments, we could easily have won them on another day. So yes it's heartbroking tonight, but overall the plan is working and we should only get increasingly cohesive going forward.

I agree, but what happened is more important than what could or should have happened. We gave up a 3 point lead to Liverpool.

 

[VoiceOfThePoshSeats]

Why when u have a settled team did we change it in buggest match if the season

 

[Airfixx]

Once again Aurier presents a dead ball situation to the opposition.

Aurier was our best player you div.

 

[Thin Lilywhite Duke]

Bergwijn and Kane just not clinical enough. That was the difference for me.

Title hunt ain't over yet by far but we definitely look second best to Liverpool after tonight.

The same could be said about Leicester compared to us in the 15/16 season (though I'll admit they managed to beat us at home). All about getting the results week in and week out.

 

[SpiderSpurs]

Of all the games to drop ndombele. Fuckin stupid

You realise he wasn't fully fit?

 

[Totti]

First goal we have conceded from a corner this season.

Sadly however, not the first we've conceded from a set piece.

From having the outright best defence in the league. To looking relatively fragile from set pieces the last two games.

Worrying.

 

[ArcspacE]

Oh sammyspurs ....

 

[snowkarl]

He should have replaced Kane.

Indeed. If Ndombele came on for Kane (Kane was essentially playing at CM for half the game anyway) I don't think we concede another goal.

 

[dmize1]

FUCK OFF.

Read the room you prick!

Seriously, what is the matter with you?????

Don't you see? We just lost on the last game of the season, dropping a trophy!

Oh wait, it's a random game in december? And we literally could be back on top at the weekend? Oh.

 

[Dolmiosauce]

Bottle it. Theres nothing else to say

Fuck off you cunt

 

[A Tuba]

He says that now that we've lost. When he put Reguilon on it was clear he was playing for the draw.

Same shit against Palace last week.

We could have won this game, but that doesn't happen if you essentially give up by removing 30% of your offense in the final minutes at 1-1.

It was clear that Bergwijn was knackered. You need to cover the flanks. What change would you have made?

 

[Nikesh]

Harry picked a day to have a bad game. Should have scored and at fault for their winner.

Toby is equally at fault. Both should just jump with him and even the slightest nudge would get him off balance. Really got to stop the zonal crap and just meet the ball especially late

 

[Allejo10]

Also the deciosion of sub Lo Celso for Moura was one of the worst I've ever seen

 

[Deleted member 15314]

In hindsight the sub should have been Rodon. We couldn't retain possession anyway so why not chuck on a tall CB who can clear the ball?

 

[MiddxSpur]

Harry had a mare, shit happens.

Bergwijn on the other hand had another mare. What the fuck is his position, he can’t put a tackle in as a defensive player and he is awful going forward

Bergwijn just hasnt got the scoring ability / threat we needed. Should have scored.

 

[Fattynomates]

Maybe blaming Jose was a bit premature from me , after all it’s down to him we are even thinking about winning the league, I just think we could have tested them more today , so frustrating as I hate that kloppety cunt! We was so close to winning today, they really are our bogie team at Anfield !
