Spurs away 17/10/15

[Alan Sex]

Isn't Origi supposed to be George Weah's cousin?

[G Richards]

That was OK. Some draws are a hard won point.

 

Lots of players injured and a good shift was put in there. Only minor gripe from me was that I'd have liked to have seen more of Ibe. He looked purposeful in the 5 min cameo he got at the end.

[TheHowieLama]

Could have brought Joe Pirlo on a little earlier

[Ne Moe Imya]

Not dissatisfied with that, overall.

 

We were always going to go through a period of adjustment getting used to a higher press, especially with regards to our fitness, but that wasn't too bad.  We declined in energy over the course of the 2nd half but still, I think with Sturridge up front instead of Origi we'd have won that game.

 

Going to be good to see how we look when Sturridge, Benteke, and Firmino come back.  The defense (bar Skrtel, what was wrong with him today?) looks pretty decent, we just need a mobile defensive midfielder and a few who can produce something special to get us a goal and we might be OK.

[Boss]

That was like watching two tramps fight over a half eaten sandwich. 

[Lurtz]

I'd have taken that result before kickoff.

 

We've got 50% of our outfield injured, Spurs have been in great form and we've been leaking goals for fun. Klopp asked for time in his first interview for the club. I hope the match going fans and the media give him more time than some of the whingeing fucks on this forum.

[bonesman]

Decent result given the circumstances, a lot of us said before the game they'd be happy if the players looked liked they at least gave a f]@k, i thnk they did today.

[Hades]

Would have conceded 3 if it was Rodgers managing that side today.

[Arl arse]

Er, maybe a goal or two?

I should have added, given the injuries, lack of form, lack of confidence, playing away against a team in form etc. etc.

[mattyq]

Fairly happy with that

Loads of injuries and we already looked more compact and hard to beat

Downside is that we looked fairly clueless going forward

However, Spurs are a decent team so a point away is not too shabby

[therevivalist]

Too much of Rodger's crap there for Klop. Requires some rebuilding. But confidence seems to be back.

[TheHowieLama]

Harsh on Spurs here

[stringvest]

As far as I'm concerned, that was a half decent performance.  Origi isn't (yet) a premiership striker.  Lucas shouldn't really be playing premiership football either.  I was disappointed in Can and Milner.  Coutinho continues his run of games where he offers nothing.  Lallana, Mignolet and Sakho can be pleased with their individual contributions, but I think at least half of the team improved their workmate and attitude, which meant that we pressed and harried a decent spurs team into making more mistakes in this game than they have all season.  

 

I'm not sure that we will improve markedly before the end of the season, but I"m really optimistic for future seasons.    

[Dr Nowt]

Exactly how he'll need to and has said he wants to build the team, a solid if unflashy base to start off from.

Agree with all of this

[Red Hot]

Couldn't really ask for more clean sheets is the way to go. Yes lots of improvements required, but being difficult to beat is the way forward I feel just now. By the time the next transfer window opens sure Kloppe will know what he needs to move us forward.

[Paco]

Out of these 6 tough aways we ve lost to united and drew with arsenal everton and spurs.

 

sort out the home form and get anything from city and chelsea away and we re in decent shape.

[Boss]

Lallana was utter shite. Misplaced loads of passes, got nudged off the ball, only decided to press when he could be arsed and did absolutely nothing of note in the whole game. Coutinho had to do the work of two men to cover for that show pony and Ibe showed more directness in 5 minutes than Lallana showed in 80.

[Anubis]

Das genügt , Schwein. Das genügt

[Captain]

Happy with the result. We were largely shit and didn't deserve more.

 

Nice to keep a clean sheet and keep them from building up a lead on us.

[Ne Moe Imya]

I actually thought Can was good.  But I seem to be alone in that opinion, judging by the posts on here.

 

Oh, and was it just me, or did Ibe look his old confident self in those few minutes?  He seemed like he remembered that he's allowed to run towards the opponents there, as opposed to the shadow of himself he'd become under Rodgers.

[ben48]

Lucas' shot then gave me a proper belly laugh. How the fuck does he get paid to play football

Because he works his bollocks off,every game.

[Delmar]

The players did what the manager asked them to do.  A very good start.  Midfield worked just fine, the forwards are a bit lost.  Defenders, well, a clean sheet is always good for the team.

 

I'm happy with this, more like what I expect from us.  The goals will come, a German has done what he said he would do.  Surprise...

I wouldn't trust a word that Labrador is telling you Boss.

[LFC 6 Times]

I'll take it. Offered very little offensively, if Sturridge mans up and takes some responsibility and gets himself onto the pitch we win that game. Clyne and Sakho caught the eye. Credit to Mignolet, some top classes saves in the last 2 games, the one on Naismith in the Derby and Njie today were absolutely sensational.
