Spurs away 17/10/15

[xerxes]

A good result, a good point.

 

Less than a week’s training and one game are hardly enough to draw any conclusions. But factually we covered more ground than any PL team this weekend, and more than the team ever did under Brendan. A change has already been effected.

 

Klopp would have been justified in bemoaning his lack of striking options. Instead he did what any wise coach would have done, used what he had up front and hope, but be sure that the back door was firmly closed.

 

I suspect that our forthcoming game against low grade Euro opposition will be a godsend for Klopp. He can stand, with conviction and credibility, in front of his squad and explain to them how to win European games- the novelty factor alone should be a big bonus for them.

sorry, I was referring to Wolfsburg for Rodriguez - I think Jurgs will raid Dortmund's nearest rivals for their best players, including Bayer's Bender:)

[The Maca]

Agree sexrex

looking at the team and bench I'd have taken a draw

get these pansies fit and we will be a different team

the intensity in the first 20 mins was superb - when they are fit enough to keep that up for longer and we get our first team out  we will destroy teams

[Marko121]

You're not going to get an argument from me on Coutinho's season so far, but d'you know what? I'm not worried or bothered in the slightest. He's loyal, and that'll do in the interim.

 

Coutinho knows better than anybody that the team is going backwards. Coutinho's brilliance hinges on key talent around him that has simply disappeared.

 

I believe Coutinho is seriously wondering who the fuck is going to step up and be counted when when it comes to Liverpool's attacking football. Where's the core? The engine room of attack?

 

Fact is, they've been sold or are injured.

He doesn't have much to work with. Klopp will know he has to get 'Coutinho partnerships' built and quickly. A case in point after today's game : Origi had no idea what Coutinho was trying to do in any given move. Saw it time and time again, but it WILL improve.

 

I remember a certain Sterling debuting with pace and little else....

 

That's a very positive result today all things considered, btw.

The poor bastard used to get the ball, look up and see Sturridge, Suarez and Sterling all running in different directions. It will take time

[The Maca]

sturridge, suarez, sterling, gerrard

.....where did it all go wrong

why?

Alonso, torres mascherano

fucking hell this clubs a joke at times  

[Dr. J]

Fuck Torres, fuck Mascherano, fuck Suarez, fuck Sterling and fuck anybody else who didn't, doesn't and will not want to play for the club, whatever their nominal reasons.

 

The sad part is what we've done with the money, not the getting rid.

couldn't agree more.  

[Curly]

Lucas is playing better than Coutinho. But I'm sure someone will be along to tell me he isn't. Fanboyism and objectivity are not really on speaking terms.

 

Lucas had a really good game yesterday. Just wish he would never ever think about shooting again.

[Dr Nowt]

Lucas shoots about as well as the Royston Vasey wedding photographer.

[an tha]

Fucking fixture list - next 4.

 

Southampton

Chelsea

Crystal Palace

Man City

 

If we slip up at home against either Southampton or Palace and get fuck all away at the other two that top 4 is gonna look a long way off come the end of that run.

 

Say we are on 17 pts from 13 games (highly probable) it will need championship winning form for rest of the season to threaten the top 4.

 

We could really do with winning the two home games and getting something from plastic bridge or city for belief and momentum.

[Jairzinho]

We'll get seven points from those four games.

[aRdja]

Lucas shoots about as well as the Royston Vasey wedding photographer.

So did the rest of the team to be fair, and at least he was a DM.

[Hades]

It's at the point where I'd rather Lucas put the ball out for a throw in than take a shot on goal and risk a counter. He makes Sterling's shooting look world-class.

[Grinch]

Wouldn't worry to much Lucas will be gone first oppurtunity Klopp gets. 

[Dr Nowt]

I might possibly be basing that on his full career with us.

[aRdja]

Ah right, I thought it was in relation to the match.

[Baltar]

Is it me or does Dembele ALWAYS play well against us? He even had good games against us when he was at Fulham. Doesn't turn up for most other matches though. 

[TheHowieLama]

Might say more about us than him

He was horrid in the 5-0 loss a couple of years ago.

True. I think he's a seriously talented player but inconsistent and lazy.

Hmm that's actually Joe Allen.

MNF on Sly Sports, skip to around 14mins for Carragher/Nevilles views on Jürgens tactics at Spuds.

One of the Liverpool podcasts had a Spurs fan on last week before our game, he had the best summary of Dembele I've ever heard:

 

"When he's on his day, you can't get the ball off him, and any other day, why would you want to?"
