***OMT: Tottenham Hotspur vs Liverpool***

Game plan went out the window with the gift of a goal, and now pool will try to pick us off. But we're still in the game. Pool sitting back very compact. Maybe a long shot will get us a goal. If we score, I think Pool could fall apart.

Need to come out with focus and determination.
 
We’re in this. Dembele and Davies have been excellent. Eriksen needs to do more and Harry’s below his best but feeding off scraps. Trippier should be a bit less hestitant and drive on. He’s not going to get acres to cross it so he has to do a bit more of the work.

Sanchez has looked very ropey and Jan too as a consequence.

Theyre very dangerous up top and look like slicing us open at will sometimes but, around the park, we’re better.
 
When the fuk is Toby back?

You do realise he would make little difference here? This is purely a tactical thing. Players being asked to work it out from the back against one of the best pressing teams in the league.

You think Poch would analyse how others have had joy vs Liverpool. I can guarantee u it wasn’t by rolling it around the back 4.
 
Hope Winks has looked good in training. We're desperate for his quality in deep midfield.

A lot of stuff not working, but the shortcomings of our central midfield in playing through pressure is high up the list.
 
Dier off, Wanyama on, change to 4-2-3-1 and pace and power through the middle to batter them.
They are easily coping with stopping us wide, but anything thriuth the centre looks dangerous. Add Wanyama to that we'll get chances and things will drop.

Dier has been fine. But we need a tactical change.
 
Liverpool cant keep up that intensity.

Just as they cant get away with all the fouls and shirt pulls.

The caught us cold, since then they only got a couple of opportunities.

They have done a job of stopping us playing, but we were getting into the game as the half went on.

I feel the same will be said for the second half, Liverpool will tire, we will then get into it more and more.
 
I hate these chavvy ****s so much.

The fans and players claiming a foul everytime they lose the ball. Then punt it in the air and kick us.

Think this psychologically effects us. We need to realise they’re brick and keep our heads.
 
I like Dier but for what he is - a respectable DM/CB - i just don't feel the need to build him up as some kind of Pirlo-esque CM when it's pretty obvious on the ball he is rather limited
Of course he's not, but he's far further down the line towards a Pirlo type than a pure DM like Wanyama.

I'd happily swap him for a Pirlo type tomorrow, but he's probably the best we can do right now.

We’re only in this because of the score, not because of our play. Let’s hope Poch actually changes things when it’s not working for once....
 
Massive 45 minutes coming up. Chance for Poch to show he can make a difference away in a big game.
Yes, we are lucky to go in at 1-0.

Poch needs to do something, we've been second best. Whether that is change formation, change personnel, change tactics... we aren't clicking like we can.


I do worry that as the game wears on, we will push forwards and Mane/Firminho/Salah will have a field day.
 
Very poor perfomance in 1st half by Dier, Sanchez, Eriksen and Kane.
Wanyama for Dier during the break.
And Lamela during 2nd half.
 
Yes better than being 2 down and for what I saw (classic GGG turned off from 4 mins to 30) it looked better than last year.

Would fudging love to win 2-1 or even 3-1 and tinkle those Beatle loving fans off for a whole week.

Call him what you want he gives the ball away by being caught on the ball EVERY game, I don’t see Wanyama do that who isn’t a pure DM because he drives forward with the ball all the time....

We're playing 4-2-3-1 aren't we?
 
Don’t know where the idea to play Son up top has come from but he needs to be back in his preferred position off the left, with Alli back in his preferred position.
 
We’re only in this because of the score, not because of our play. Let’s hope Poch actually changes things when it’s not working for once....

We’re well in it with our play. We’ve had decent possession, got into some decent positions but our final ball has been off.
 
This is just crap from Poch today -- we hammered them 4-1 playing on the counter, we got chance after chance playing that way, sitting deeper, bein more direct at times. This time, we decide to go there, push high, create nothing and let them get all the chances by playing 2 passes forward or picking up a mistake in possession.

This is the first time I have been totally phucked off with Poch, it's just brain dead not to approach this game the same way we did at Wembley. Not good enough.

And Eric Dier -- I'm not the only one who wants to kill him, right?
