Match Threads Spurs Vs Liverpool

[mendesstormer]

Sorry my bad. Yes they are.

That's still only 4 players though with 2 on the bench..so i guess my point sticks?

What about Kulusevski and Romero? And Bissouma makes their bench at least.

Cancelo gets a red card and a pen decision yesterday. We get robbed yet-a-fucking-gain against the bin dippers. It’s pure fucking bias every time. The club needs to fucking front upafainst the PL. Every single time we get robbed against these fucks. It’s getting beyond coincidence now.

From my pov high in the south it seemed Sess went down easy.

Replay on MOTD shows it was a stonewall penalty exactly the same as Cancelos.

unbelievable. Just...

 

[ralphs bald spot]

Just seen the second again, whilst Dier clearly fucked up the press on Allison from Kane & Perisic was a joke.

honestly when your centre half misses a simple header and puts one of the best strikers in the World clean through you look at the forwards do me a favour

I could not believe that wasn’t called on Sess

Hello Sooty

We created one dangerous attack in the first half. At home.

We surrendered possession for the first 20 mins and let Liverpool just get in their groove while leaving their wide players in loads of space.

But this just isn't true. We hit the post through Perisic. We had a stonewall penalty not given. Sess was getting in behind well. And out passing was crisp, brave and with a plan that has been so sorely lacking from our first half performances this year.

Just a weird false representation. Why?

What about Kulusevski and Romero? And Bissouma makes their bench at least.S

I'm unsure about Kulu because Jota/Salah/Nunez/Dias/Firmino are of at least the same calibre if not better.

Romero is a good shout but is still relatively unproven.

Bissouma I disagree with because he hasn't even consistently performed for us yet.

 

[Gilzean at the near post]

I hate to hear the crowd booing so loudly at half time. It can't help and I imagine it really annoys AC.

If it annoys AC he should consider setting the team up to attack in the 1st half of matches

 

[DarwinSpur]

Just watched extended highlight on Sky and that second half was an absolute battering. How on Earth we didn't equalise... Reminds me of the game against United at Wembley when de Gea played out of his skin...

The guy sitting next to me today thinks it’s ok to boo after our first half performance, I strongly disagree and will never boo Spurs.
I would not go to games if I felt that way.
Decent fella though, we exchanged phone numbers.

We didn't lose today just because of the Dier mistake, our finishing was woeful and we missed enough clear-cut chances to turn that round and win convincingly.

Yeah I think in the first half once again we got into good positions but were very wasteful.

Liverpool were dreadful under even a little bit of pressure and when Perisic hit the bar followed by Hojbjerg's shot we were starting to get at them.

I'm certain has we scored in that period we'd have broken them.

In fact, had we had a fit Kulusevski on from the start, we'd have made better choices and better finishing. Probably would have turned it around.

Instead, we lost control a bit because certain players can't maintain the level or go backwards in good situations and Liverpool had a 10 minute period that put us under pressure.

We survived it.

Then Dier did that.

Today, the Arsenal game and the Newcastle game have all been a bit in the balance at times. We had to weather a little pressure in 2 of those games but our stupid mistakes and errors in the final third have meant the game got away from us instead.

Think with better composure, and that comes from players like Romero (at his best) and Kulusevski, we don't lose either of these games

Good man.

The only time in recent memory I felt booing was acceptable was when we lost to United 3-0 in Nunos last game.

That needed to be heard.

Not when we are clearly a work in progress. Thats counter productive

That Sess non-penalty gets given all day long for 'pool at Anfield; the same as the Fabiano free kick that wasn't given.
It may have been my poor stream but I swear Lucas got kicked in the face as you could see spittle flying out of his mouth.
How does Fabiano not get booked for the one on PEH either?

These aren't the reason we lost but feck me VAR was supposed to be for clear and obvious and to bring about consistency and does it f**k!
I lost the stream for their first so I missed if it was good play or our ballsup.
Christ knows what Dier was thinking with that attempted nod back, it really bolloxed us.
Second half before Kulu came on I counted 3 or 4 times Kane on the defenders shoulder, pointed, made the run for the through ball to be played from midfield and every time it went out wide to be met with a shit cross.

I disagreed with the booing at the end of the first half, it wasn't like we were being played of the park not being our usual passive selves, unless it was boos aimed at the ref?
We really seem to get a crap rub of the green against 'pool, we've been more than able to at least draw if not beat them a number of times, home and away we just seem to never get the deserved result IMHO!

Yeah the kicking to Lucas and Doherty were both blatant fouls.

The thought is that if a player goes with the foot, gets the ball and then kicks the player in the head, it's just a genuine mistake and not considered dangerous because they were there first but on both occasions our player headed it first, then got the kick. That's a foul and Im certain had Kane done that to Konate as he's putting his head to defend a ball, Liverpool would have got it.

The ref today was a disgrace. I think its the same guy who shit himself when he gave Leeds a penalty and a red against Arsenal.

Not convinced by all the posts criticising the booing and complaining. It’s not ideal, for sure, but I’m paying 1400 for my season ticket. I’m still travelling home with soaking wet feet. It’s easy to criticise from your couch.

The amount you pay for a ticket, doesn’t correlate to the product you experience.
This is the fundamental problem with the new stadium. Levy has put prices up, and fans expect more for their money. The demands are higher, the atmosphere can be worse. But it’s sport. It’s unpredictable. You cant expect more wins because you’ve paid a bit more than the year before.

And apparently the ref in charge of var was the same ref who gave the penalty against cancelo and sent him off…….

I was at the game and I haven’t seen the highlights but generally it was a good performance and we deserved at least a point. Again it was mistakes that led to our downfall and I have to agree that the referee was awful - we were singing ‘who’s the scouser in the black?’ at him. We went at them, got a goal and on another day could have buried them, they definitely weren’t better than us.

Unfortunately there are too many Liverpool and Man United bandwagon jumpers in this country and around the world.

I'm not going to call them supporters or fans because they don't deserve to be called genuine fans or supporters. Yes there are also genuine Man United and Liverpool fans but they are outnumbered by bandwagon jumpers. We all know why they've jumped on that bandwagon.

By this reasoning, they're populated amongst the all different members of society who follow football or who have any level interest in it, so by definition that almost certainly includes referees and match officials, who are clever enough not to declare their allegencies when they do their training to become referees or match officials. If they also don't have any connection with Liverpool and Manchester and they don't make it obvious on Social Media by wearing their merchandise or replica shirts, they can fly under the radar, which is why it's no coincidence that most calls on penalties, and match turning events even with VAR scrutiny go their way as far as those two teams are concerned. Of course it can't be taken too far when the evidence is 99.99% irrefutable they have to give calls against their beloved teams, but where the evidence is not quite at this level it should come as no surprise as to why many more decisions often go in their favour, and why decisions that generally go against other teams, don't tend to go against them.

I optimistically hoped that VAR would eradicate much of this bias but unfortunately it hasn't.

I know I might be called a conspiracy theorist for this view but hey ho I'm going to call it how I see it.
