Spurs away 17/10/15

[Iceman]

Klopp will eradicate all journo scum. He is the Kloppinator. 

[jimmycase]

I hope so . Lets put the pedestals away for now. I expect we are going to see a few more dour

performances before it gets better .  

 

Today was a dour performance?

[an tha]

He has his work cut out with our squad.

 

But i believe he will get them working hard which will in itself bring an improvement.

 

He will get them better organised which will of course help.

 

He will get them fitter and stronger.

 

He will instill more fight and belief.

 

All these things will help.

 

But he can't make mediocre footballers much better though when it comes down to the key moments that make a difference like Origi not bundling that ball home today....or the laughable shot by Lucas and we are chocker with mediocre footballers.

[halewood pete]

Thought a draw was a fair result.got to be happy with the point and a clean sheet for a weakened team

[Anubis]

Didn't see or hear the game but happy with a draw and not a loss, given Klopp only had a few days to work with the players.

I wouldnt bother watching it. Highlights will cover it. They ha 3 great chances we d 1.

[Red House]

Good point really. Spurs are a much better team nowadays compared to the one we've faced in recent years. For a start, they don't play that stupid high line anymore. That said, there's still a lot of work to be done with our pressing. It was still too disorganised, too many players keen to impress and closing down with no-one else following in behind, which makes the whole thing utterly pointless. They need to learn to press as a team rather than multiplying the individual sprints. 

[Mojo]

We didn't look like conceding with every corner. First time in how long?

I'm sure they will mate,it all takes time.The attitude was good today considering the amount of time that they've trained together.

No it's true Stringy. He's a show pony. He slows every counter attack down by trying to hold up the ball waiting to thread these little intricate through balls in when he should just be taking players on and beating them. But he doesn't have the pace or the strength to go shoulder to shoulder with anyone.

 

If i could remove one player from this team it's him. He's a luxury player that doesn't even deliver any luxury, absolute bobbins.

 

I'm sorry, but that's just crap.  For a luxury player, he made more tackles and intercepts than anyone else in our midfield today.  He was defending at the back, and he has been better than Coutinho in every one of our games this year.  Coutinho did nothing but waste the ball today.  He didn't make a tackle, and he barely chased back.  

 

I'm not saying that Lallana is a better player than Coutinho, before you all start squeaking.  I'm saying Lallana has been better than Coutinho all season.  Coutinho has been our luxury player, and has been pretty dire in almost every game.  I'm really disappointed in him, because he is the only one that can provide a touch of genius.  But I'm not about to start defending the performances he's put in this year, and I'm amazed at how many people can't bring themselves to see it or say it.

 

Some of you are like the girl who gets stood up every night at the pictures.  You keep turning up saying 'but, but he's really good looking and he treats me really nice when he does turn up'.  Well if he wants to get into my knickers, he can meet me in the pub where I'll be with my mates whether he pitches up or not. 

 

Neither of them are  the front runner for my attentions in our team though.  

[Heinze]

Apparently our first clean sheet in 9 games?

[Dr. J]

We weren't creating many chances under Rodgers so we can't be very surprised we didn't create many today. That front 4 never looked like scoring, really.

 

Klopp's first job is sorting out the defence. Pressing in the opponents half helps us out in the back. Clean sheet is a good start.

[moof]

Tjhen you have players like Lallana who don't run at all and still have no end product.

There's many things you can level at Lallana but you can't say he doesn't run and work hard.

You could say we won the gegenpressing game and when you win the gegenpress 79# of the time etc etc.

 Have you got her number?

[TheHowieLama]

Baffled by the suggestion Lallana wasn't doing any running - constantly was pressing and tackling - tracked Dembele ( Thinkk it was) from midfield and headed clear in our own 6 yard box from what would have been the game winner.

[Mr T]

I'm not Lallana's biggest fan but he worked hardest first half. I think Klopp will be happy with him.

[Section_31]

Good result, squad is paper thin though, staggering when you think of the money spent, not just by Rodgers.

[Anubis]

I wouldnt bother watching it. Highlights will cover it. They ha 3 great chances we d 1.

Cheers for the head's up.

Lallana is shit, Coutinho isn't.

 

Don't let Lallana's two goals this season blind you.

[skend04]

I'm not Lallana's biggest fan but he worked hardest first half. I think Klopp will be happy with him.

Working hard is the minimum. The fact is that he's about as fast as a snail having an asthma attack and sooner or later for Klopp's style to work he's gonna be surplus to requirements.

[magicrat]

Today was a dour performance?

For the most part yes as we carried little threat going forward, That's dour in my book

[Ginny]

Fucks sake as if Klopp is our manager

[navbasi]

Coutinho hasn't been the same since all the talk of Barca being interested.
