Same here.
It took Louis van Gaal' Army 65 minutes to register their 1 and only shot on target and they still needed a freak own goal to beat our reserve goalie.
Hopefully Pochettino can end the hoodoo in April.

Agree, I had a few drinks after that game in the Ex lounge and a lot of their supporters said we were unlucky and deserved more.

SSN's latest Power Rankings puts Kane on top
And there are seven more Tottenham players in the top fifty, which sounds impressive enough - until you realise there's no sign of Eric Dier or Erik Lamela in that list. Given both have been outstanding in recent weeks you cannot help wondering whether they just make them all up.

Spurs have lost just 2 of their last 21 Premier League home matches

Manchester United and us are the only two Premier League teams who are unbeaten at home this season.

Looking at the list, I'm surprised that Ozil is only in 31st place. Given his contribution to his team, you'd think that he would be higher.
Our own players appear to be in s random order too. Maybe I'm being narrow minded, but I don't think Eriksen has had an amazing season, and yet, he sits in 21st place ahead of Alli who seems to have had a better season.

So Leicester are still unbeaten away? that's impressive.
El Guepardo
Rafael Van Der Vaart
Yup. Leicester lost, their only game this season, 5-2 at home to Arsenal.
Last time they lost away was against us last season apparently - also we was the last team Vardy failed to score against (iirc)
They lost to Chelsea after that, the only loss in their last nine games last season. They were on 19 points after that loss to us, two months later they're on 41.
I was talking about the last away game they lost - that Chelsea game was at home?
They've certainly had a good 2015 either way

This"unbeaten thing" can get a bit silly, better to WWL than DDD.
Our form is good though, look at the last columns here

Joint second.
People have said we've got easier opponents coming up but that's what the Goons thought before West Brom beat them and Norwich drew with them. Shame they have so many injuries now!

If it was a load of draws and low scoring games I would agree with you. We've done a lot more than just being unbeaten in 13. That makes the unbeaten in 13 thing far from silly.
Compared to last season we're 6 points ahead compared to the same opponents. I think in the past this has shown a reasonable way of looking at things beyond the current standings and points per game.
RAWK has come up with this alternative PL table to show how Liverpool are doing better than they really are. Par is 90 points (win all home games, win away to the seven worst sides and get 12 draws).

Interesting take on it.
Seems they've been doing it for some years. Do you know if it's had any kind of predictive power in the past?
Interesting to see them this far ahead of us based on this perspective, while based on the "results comparison" compared to last season's results we're doing marginally better than them (last time I checked).

One of their "7 worse teams" is level on points top of the league.
Trust a Liverpool forum to be living in the past.
Any system where an away win at West Brom (who have lost 4/7 at home this season) is worth more than a away win at Leicester (lost 1/7 at home this season) is fundamentally flawed.
They usually change it when teams do better or worse than expected.

Someone made the point that it's not meant to be predicative, but show how hard your upcoming schedule is. Liverpool have a 15-game run later in the season where they're expected to pick up 43 points.

Not sure that comparison makes sense to me. That's the halfway point as predicted by the "system" compared to the final table after the last game of the season? Or?
I agree that it probably says something about how hard your schedule has been and will be. Bit like the comparison to last season's results. Which is why I was a bit surprised by the large difference between the two viewpoints when comparing us with Liverpool.
