    So true on all counts. Today was a bit unusual in that we obviously needed to throw caution to the wind and won’t play every game like that. But equally, we just need to beat Forest, Everton and Leeds at home. We should surely manage it playing like this. Hopefully a confidence boost for the...

    I’m genuinely like…so close to being a proper anti VAR nut job. I never have been until this season but the lack of consistency is just insane. It is ruining football and renders so many of the games pointless. And it’s not all about us but, we showed up, we prepared, we were willing to bring...

    Ruining the sport, it’s a clear as day foul. This brick has to end.

    There were plenty of games where we looked very comfortable with the high line. Conceding is probably somewhat expected under a manager that plans to score at least 3 in response but I watched those games too, and there were plenty where we looked quite cohesive when we had a reasonably fit...

    I think when we played Romero and VDV together and actually tried to play a proper version of Ange ball, not in the middle of an injury crisis, we were actually pretty good defensively. The ball stayed away from our goal largely, and we played the game in the opposition half. I don’t disagree...

    Totally agreed. Also, with the technology available today, it shouldn’t be hard at all to categorize contentious incidents and have them be immediately searchable in the VAR room in order to drive more consistency. Eg ‘goal denied for two hands on the back, let’s quickly search for other two...

    Agreed wholeheartedly. And on a separate point to your own, I think it does make the decision to appoint Frank worse on the basis that our best players (Romero and VDV) were wholly unsuited to the kind of football he wanted to play. So even if we were in a ‘good moment’, he probably still...

    I really agree with you. I’m glad we get stuff like this https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/s/a32zpZAZsh after the fact now. At least it’s something. But how are there 18 VAR errors already in this season? How is that even possible? How does it happen unless you make it so hard for the VAR to go...

    Genuinely, as much as I punched furniture when Richy scored because I was so happy we equalised and it proved to myself that I very much do care if we get relegated, stuff like this is ruining the game. The blatant lack of consistency where we get punished for something one week and then our...

    He did, but I wonder if that then was the call to put Souza on the right rather than Gallagher, rather than tearing up the entire plan. I think having Romero and VDV out probably did the most to dictate how we set up yesterday.

    Igor the Interim

    Yes. Indeed. I’m curious as to whether he goes back to what he thought he was originally going to have to do, eg the 3 at the back. Or whether he says ‘hey, we found something at Anfield that works, let’s build on it.’ There’s a chance that his own willingness to adapt and get outside his...

    Igor the Interim

    What was most interesting and impressive about Tudor is that he did something yesterday which is out of keeping with how he’s usually gotten to success in his other firefighting roles. It seems like for him, the ‘keep it simple’ was to get teams already used to playing a 3 at the back to have a...

    +++OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Liverpool+++

    Same. The result is almost incidental. The fact that we showed fight, the fact that we did the simple things, we communicated, we worked hard, we didn’t overplay in silly situations. We played with some actual fudging belief. We will be ok if we keep that up. We just literally haven’t seen...

    And really simply…why is it not a booking on Rio? What’s the justification?

    +++OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Liverpool+++

    I will say, credit to the players because they look like they are communicating with each other, staying compact, and for the most part making the easy decision. Minimising mistakes. The bar is on the floor, but from what we’ve seen lately, it’s an improvement. Have to comment on the ref...
