Spurs v Liverpool 16 Dec 20:00

[Allejo10]

This is the plan. Needs to do better in the counter tough, their defense isn't so good, we do better and we can score 4.

Beglin used to be OK but he chattted shit this game except for calling out Aurier.
All the danger down our right side.
I can see us nicking another goal. GLC been pretty good. Again Berg frustrating.
God bless Sonny!

 

[boone]

Have to say I feared the worst when VAR started looking at the Son goal. Lucky for us it was between their feet so relatively straight forward. None of that measuring the shoulder and where that is on the ground. Made quick work of the review.

 

[KaneDomBadBoy]

We're lucky.... Liverpool's possession is too good we have to adjust in second half

Hugo's been immense. We're going to need more of that to keep this close.

 

[Gazzapen]

I think Michael Owen gets Cuntatator of the sesson.

 

[ILSpur]

Haha. The only person finding this amusing is Crouchy.

Don’t they realise that the reason Liverpool have all the possession is because we’re deliberately letting them have it?! It might be ugly, it might be dangerous, but it’s entirely deliberate.

I tend to agree with this and it's worked well for us in a lot of games recently, but we've allowed 7 shots on target so far. It was far different against woolwich or City when we were allowing a lot of shots but few on target. We're hanging on because shots are going straight at Hugo.

 

[bk_spur]

I think you’ve just answered your own question.

I think he's still struggling to adapt to the speed of play. I hope he can get there- prem is fast and physical and not all can make the adjustment.

 

[ThePreacher]

lo celso is bringing nothing to the table with this gameplan.

To be fair who has?

 

[Thin Lilywhite Duke]

We’re playing 6-2-2

that’s why Davies is starting, he’s a LCB which Reguilon can’t play.

Fuck, I think I'd bring Berwijn off for Reguilon right now if I had the choice.

 

[Bazali]

The only moaning is coming from the usual suspects who would moan if we won the FA Cup final by only one goal.

Melting cunts you mean

 

[Distaste for scouse]

That was shocking, I know we play low block and counter, but our counter has been non existent and we are getting pulled all over the place defensively, we also got lucky on the handball call.

How it's 1-1 is anybody's guess, must be the football gods smiling on us for a change.

Our best hope is that they can't sustain the press, we tighten up at the back and start picking them off with some quality counter attacks.

 

[Allejo10]

Can we sub Reggie for Aurier and switch around

Fuck off

An improper twat that one.

The lack of blocks is a bit crazy because we've been in decent positions the majority of the time.

Kane just does not press AT ALL...

I thought we all understood that he just doesn't have the athleticism for Poch-style pressing for 90 minutes anymore. His whole game now is built around controlling when and how he expends energy to maximise his effectiveness with what he's got. I also wouldn't say that playing in a low block particularly suits him and it definitely doesn't make him look his best. And these things are only going to be exaggerated and exacerbated during such a ridiculous fixture schedule.

Love the optimism!

 

[HeroesAndVillains]

Hmm. Wasn't he always a bit like this?

Always got the serial killer vibe from him.

Someone mentioned Falling Down and yeah I can see that.

 

[LEGO Boy]

We need to do a lot more 2nd half. Yes they'll have most of the ball but we need to get up the pitch and break better.

Of course, but it does make things difficult for us up top.

 

[Totti]

Kane dropping deep isn't really working at all - but he HAS to do it because of this backwards formation we're playing us.

Fabinho is having the easiest game of his life.

Need to get to 433 or 4231 asap.
