One way flow at the moment. Vorm is being Neo today...

Sugarlumps

Should of started from the off, delighted Pochettino realized this early on.

Sugarlumps

Shout for a peno surely?

DubPerryman

Having Dier and Wanyama playing centre mid brought a lot of pressure on.

We're really missing Dembele to drive forward from CM.

Walker going off could be brilliant or a nightmare. Alli will be more attacking from CM but may leave us far more open.

Let's see how it plays out.

Crying out for a creative midfielder. We can't keep the ball and as I said earlier look toothless

Sugarlumps

I see Walker going off as a positive, Dier can read the game.

golfball37

That's certainly a yellow card? He's been best player on pitch too

Jayop

Spurs denied an absolute stonewall peno and Mane should be off. Typical Liverpool stuff.

Sugarlumps

Much improved with the change. Janssen is a workhorse.

Sugarlumps

Very soft peno?

golfball37

Looked just outside box to me. Can't say it's undeserved though

tippspur

It's all we deserve unfortunately.

Sugarlumps

Not much flow, a lot of free kicks.

Sugarlumps

I think we'll get back into this, Eriksen needs to up his game. Alli's been pretty quite. No service into the forwards. Pool deserve there lead thus far.

Kimsang

lost the ball early on a few times from the back, and since then our only idea has been the long ball. Not the spurs team we're used to seeing as of late. far too panicked. Fair play to liverpool though they're harassing the hell out of us. Just wish we had a bit more composure. If we can beat that press there's a weak defence behind it

DubPerryman

I think it's only a matter of time before Mane is sent off. It could be our only relieve if he is.

We need to get the foot on the ball but Liverpool have been non-stop in fairness.

I'm baffled by people support of Lamela. I see it here and on Reddit. People are glad they stuck with Jim after a hard first year. I can't see it. I've said it before. He is slow. Can't pass a player. Can't pass a ball. I see people use stats to say he created most chances forgetting he's on corners which is included. I went into this game with an open mind. And he has been at his worst again. The penalty excluded, in the first half he has won 2 tackles and had one pass of note in the opposition half. Horrendous from a 'creative' player. He slows down any attack he's involved in. Aside from the goal against Everton I think he has been awful in the first two games aswell. We need pace. Look at the effect Mane has for Liverpool. He's been frustrating me for years and I'm thinking deluded Spurs fans and a manager sticking by him is not helping.

Not sure if Liverpool are brilliant or we are just ****e

Mr. Guappa

Really soft peno given to them. The one on Janssen was a much clearer penalty. Alan Smith showing his Arsenal colours on commentary.

Second best so far, although we were slightly improved after the substitution.

Vertonghen's pull down of Matip was the most blatant peno incident of the game but I see no one here has mentioned that.

Never goes in our favor. Pochettino will have a few choice words. I keep harping on about Eriksen, if he doesn't improve, then whip him off.

It was less blatant than Matip's block on Janssen. Both were penalties, both moreso than the one that was actually given.

The ref didn't give it and spoke to BOTH players because Matip jumped on to the ground and rolled.

It was a small shirt pull combined with a dive. Hence no peno given.

golfball37

Mane really should be gone, but sad indictment that we need help getting back into this. Liverpool are no great shakes at all but we are just worse.

Sugarlumps

Alli needs to be pushed up.

Sugarlumps

Thank fúck for that, Tyler nearly jizzed on the mic.

Hammar

Lads i missed the first half, any cliffs?
Liverpool look far superior to us in the second half so far.

Pool been the better team. I can't recall us having a decent attempt. 30 minutes to go, hopefully there's an improvement.

I'm more worried about Eriksen than Lamela these days.
