This, we have a strong lineup, but seemingly no legs.They have a freshness in midfield we dont have.

We have no space though, VDV is a great signing for them, he wins every cross in the box, now they have Keita blocking out passing lanes. They are really solid defensively now.
Finally someone nails it. This is a Kane Impersonator.We gifted them the lead. That was too many individual errors and brain farts for Pool not to make it count at some point.
Had we kept our concentration, this would've been a comfortable 0-0 at half time, but now we're left chasing. And we don't look like scoring anytime soon.
The Kane imposter needs to be subbed; preferably for the real Kane. He's not involved in this game at all.
Most of all we need to pull our sleeves up, stay focused and put in a proper shift in the second half though. No more silly mistakes, no more sloppy passes, more directness, more precision. Because Pool are far from unbeatable. They're just a very good side.
The defending deep, to deny them space, and then hitting on the break tactic probably is harder to execute for the simple reason Liverpool are just better at the back, VD and plus two excellent full backs full of energy has turned around a massive weakness for them.We were ok for much of it in terms of defensively. We got bodies around the ball. But we’re terrified of their pace so we’re too deep and as a result Kane and Moura are isolated and having to be hit long. Van Dijk is cleaning up.
We need to be more adventurous and aggressive without over exposing ourselves. Not quite sure how we do that with the players they have up top.
Take winks off, and put Moura out wide right Son wide left and Eriksen behind Kane. 2 up top does not work for Kane
Which means we are good at defending when it’s not headers...From the Guardian blog:
41 mins: That’s the fifth goal Spurs have conceded in the league, and all of them have been headers.
I think we have controlled play but made nothing and our players aren't good enough against this press. Who would be though? Peak Barcelona? They deserve their lead.

We need a bigger goalie as plan B. And Dier needs to do more at corners.From the Guardian blog:

If that’s the case Poch shouldn’t be playing them, infact if that was the case Poch wouldn’t be playing them. Therefore what you’re saying isn’t true and I’ve seen nothing to suggest Toby not signing a new contract is affecting his performances....Poch's job is very difficult, when players don't sign contracts they lose focus. Eriksen looks brighter today but has started the season poorly. There are too many ups and downs when players don't sign contracts, affects the unity of the team.
