Tottenham Hotspur v Liverpool Match Thread

Way off form and we still shudda had 4 or 5 on them cunts...

That's the exciting thing. We have won 5 out of 5 matches and we haven't even reached top form yet.

That’s it tho eh...

Our front three are not on fire yet at all but we still racked up numerous chances and should have scored more...

It doesn’t mean anything yet cos it’s only game 5 but...

Did you know that statistically Kane is amazing???

Fucking watch... watch with your eyes... I’m still drunk... ooooh yeah...

What we are missing from our midfield is Fabinho... He is more of a physical presence and he would have been a rock because of his height, technique and aggression. Gini, Milner and Hendo are great but they don't have that ability to lock down a midfield the way Fabinho probably might be able to.

I know it sound silly to day this considering we have won 5/5 but that isn't enough to describe the way we have managed games. I don't feel we have got to grips with managing a have really well like the way City can for example. I really do feel once Fabinho gets in the team he will provide some measured control that we send me seen to still lack in central midfield.

Also I'd it me or does Trent struggle sometimes on the right back. Granted he was up against a high quality Spurs team but I felt we were shaky on the right side and Gomez had to help out once or twice.


If anything why doesn't Klopp use Trent as the Ox replacement, he would be perfect. His aggression as a defender married with his natural attacking technique could give better balance to that midfied. Right back could then either be Fabinho or Clyne. People are picking on the front three but I feel its because there isn't much synergy between the midfield and attack. Trent as in the Ox role would solve that, what do you guys think?

Fabinho/Gini - Keita - Trent

Trent isn't really ready for that. Let him master right back first, then we'll talk.

I don't think they do. The players they have to bring all represent a significant step down in quality, much more so than I think we do when we have to replace players.

Actually it's not bad at all, no where near as bad as is made out :

Vorm is maybe the equivalent of Ming
Aurier for Trippier
Sanchez is their 3rd CB
Davies for Rose
Wanyama & Sissoko for Dier
Winks at CM
Lamela, Son, Moura & Llorente are their backup forwards (depending on formation)
