Same side, but Doherty was really effective in Woofs' back five last season, so I can see reason in going for him if Spurs have that formation in mind.

Soylent Brown Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Holy wow, a goal! I thought for sure that Mane had messed it up with his bobbly cross, but it was close enough that even Firmino couldn't miss! Spurs will have to actually try in the second half now, so the game might be a bit more fun. Well, until Son equalises and Spurs go back to the bus anyway. I give it five minutes of the second half, because I'm feeling optimistic today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ljkeane Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Yes! Matip lasts 45 minutes again. He is quality when he’s fit but we need to get a more reliable third choice centreback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Horse Named Stranger Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Was he injured, or did Klopp just take him off after 45 minutes because he didn't want to take any risks after his injury, was not sure he'd last a full game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soylent Brown Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 He must be injured, this isn't the kind of game we'd look to rest him in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ljkeane Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Fuck right off. Dyer’s handled the ball while fouling Firmino but the fact that it hits Firmino’s hand on the halfway line rules the goal out? VAR is so shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polishgenius Posted January 28, 2021 Author Share Posted January 28, 2021 It didn't hit Firmino's hand, he controlled it deliberately on purpose to set up the move that led to the goal. Come on. It doesn't matter where on the pitch he did it it was clearly the same move. You could make an argument about Dier fouling him but it was hardly stonewall.

Soylent Brown Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Hopefully we've budgeted these goals for the summer months. Our forwards are still looking mostly dodgy, but the rest of the team has been moving the ball around a lot better today, so that's at least something. Some of that may be down to Spurs' lack of ambition in the first half, but still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Horse Named Stranger Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Well, you could also somewhat realistically hope for that being the end of the dry spell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come on. It doesn't matter where on the pitch he did it it was clearly the same move. Sure. I’ve got no problem with giving a handball if the ref had seen it at the time. My issue is spending five minutes to rule out excellent goals by going back to adjudicate on 50-50 challenges on the halfway line (it was a clear foul by Dyer). Who cares? It’s just tedious.

The Sunland Lord Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 One simply knows that Levy would sack Jose after the final whistle, but Spurs are pregnant with his hefty severance package. This garbage of football for 15 m £. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soylent Brown Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 You've got to give credit to Gareth Bale: It looked like Bobby Charlton had the Silliest-Baldness-Hide trophy for life, but he's come in and stolen it comfortably. It's not even close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daemon the Leaner Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 That Philipps charge on Son, is a red card and a penalty. Also, I would like to know why Bergwijn always starts in big games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soylent Brown Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 He got the ball before he touched Son, so I'm not sure it was anything really. Bergwijn starts because he's quick and counter-attacky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sunland Lord Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Another aspect of Mourinho's team is that they don't even defend well. Dier's "all clear" movement for the first goal was some amateur stuff. In the end it doesn't matter-if the opponent plays 90 minutes inside your box guess who's gonna score at one point.

Consigliere Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Spurs had more possession than they did in the game at Anfield - they actually had around 60% possession in the 2nd half last night. However, they were unable to counterattack nearly as effectively as they did in the game at Anfield. Kane getting injured was a big blow and shows just how crucial he is - their transition play went dead in the first half as soon as Kane was not moving well and they were completely toothless in the 2nd half without him despite dominating possession. Lots of credit must also go to Klopp though for the defensive organisation and tactical discipline that he's instilled in the team. Every other team in the league would have been having serious defensive issues if they had to regularly play midfielders and a kid from the academy (who's not quite ready for this level yet) at CB.
