    The way I saw it we created very little from their goal until the latter parts of the first half when we got a much needed chance that I think helped us get some belief back. Had they gotten a second at any point there I think the game would have been over and it would have been another...

    Seemed to be limping a bit after one of the duels/blocks. And seemed to be limping towards the end. Hopefully nothing, really don't need another injury. Played really well again.

    Definitely not against Tudor sticking to a back 4 now. But more importantly needs to keep picking players who show themselves capable of showing up in the right mental state in these circumstances. The 11 who started against Liverpool, but to me also Palhina, Romero and Gallagher at the very...

    Archie Gray

    Thread (and player) deserves a bump. Another good (though for me not spectacular) performance from him. Said before that he seems to just deal with every challenge thrown his way. Massively impressed with him again how he's dealt with everything in that last couple of weeks. Unflusteres...

    Part of why "succession planning" is so difficult with goalkeepers. You need a backup, if you sign a young talent and loan them out you need another backup. Then you're down to hoping a loan works out. Then the timing has to fit (time to replace the old guy with the development of the new guy).

    2 I think? And for any CB that can easily lead to a suspension, even more so a CB like him. Need him to regain what he showed last season. But the risk of another suspension will be there regardless. If we can build on the Liverpool result another suspension from him will be less impactful soon...

    I hope getting a late equaliser, stopping the run of defeats and getting a result through hard work will help change things a bit. I actually think this game could have quite easily been another of those "shambolic" defeats. We started quite well, then they score - you could feel it. The...

    Absolutely. And think maybe Tudor has found his role now for us. Impact sub. He has the quality and shows effort coming off the bench. One or two situations where he really chased back too. But not sure he shows enough when starting. May be a physical thing, may be a mental thing. But doesn't...

    +++OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Liverpool+++

    We were in a low block for significant phases of that game imo. With both strikers joining in getting back into midfield areas to defend and cover space. But other than a period after their goal and for a while towards the end when we were clearly throwing caution to the wind and didn't have...

    A question that's perhaps more for the future, right now the focus is obviously only survival in the PL. But could this be a good learning experience for some of these players. It's probably the biggest mess any of them have faced in footballing terms. The pressure of a club our size...

    Pape Matar Sarr

    Yeah. Absolutely one of our best performers. Showed what he just about always shows, effort running, getting a leg in there to win the ball. But also showed real composure and quality on the ball at times. Super impressive under the circumstances. Not sure if it was his best game ever for us...

    Igor the Departed

    Not just probably. Would imo be really weird to sack him now. Got a performance out of a depleted squad, team also showed good resilience and fight in the CL game after the calamity of the opening 15-20 minutes (which definitely wasn't on Tudor). There will be at the very least a bit of belief...

    Richarlison

    Getting into goalscoring positions remains an underrated quality for a striker imo. Always plays with heart and emotion.

    Thought he did well after he came on. Didn't look out of place at all.

    +++OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Liverpool+++

    I want to echo a lot of the sentiments on here and what was said on the pod. Showed real effort and spirit, fought for everything. Also showed, more in moments, quality. Really well done and feels like it could be a turning point, but we won't know that until more games come around. But some...

    So based on that perspective even a crushing normal defeat would be seen as a significant positive. Thanks.

    Yeah. Kinda thought De Zerbi could be a decent option when we sacked Frank, but obvious downsides. Then again, no candidates without clear downsides... No obvious right choice here.

    +++OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Liverpool+++

    Even more players missing, Tudor looking like he's going to he replaced after the game, 6 losses in a row. I'm a strong believer that anything can happen in a game of football, but not sure how we get any from this game. Anyone have a hopeful take? Maybe the players can galvanise on their own...

    Can only guess we're not wanting to give someone new the Liverpool game as their first game?

    I was critical of Ange for some similar decisions. We should have a better squad, but the role of the manager is also to manage the squad he has. Yes, I would rather have rested some players and played worse players.
