Liverpool Vs Tottenham: Match Thread

[LSUY]

I have a feeling Poch's half time team talk will involve telling our central midfielders to stop passing to people in red shirts.

 

[Everlasting Seconds]

Ryan Mason is not good enough for a top 4 standard team. And no, this isn't knee-jerk; I've never been convinced.

You are right. It's what I talked about throughout the Jan transfer window. I agree that Mason/Bentaleb are our best CMs, but I don't agree that they are good enough.

 

[0-Tibsy-0]

Not a good day for Bentaleb and Mason to have a poor game at the same time.

Reckon they'll pick it up though.

 

[Bus-Conductor]

Silly boy.

 

[GodfreyJones]

Bet you loved him at the weekend.

Nope. Never have and never will. Always maintained our biggest weakness since 2012 is central midfield.

 

[sbrustad]

Lots of time left. Don't panic just yet.

 

[iluvsteffenfreund]

Honestly mason and bentaleb need to sharpen the fuck up. Not fuckkng good enough. This is exactly the reason Ryan mason isn't up to it

 

[Gbspurs]

We have been ok going forward tbf its Just everywhere else!

 

[Sanj]

we're being out-pressed by liverpool, and are making mistakes.
We need to get back to basics and start passing the ball quicker.

 

[Strikeb4ck]

Lmao.

I actually got Disagree ratings for saying we need to rotate because there is no way players like Mason, Bentaleb, etc will be fit following a physical/emotional effort like that vs Arsenal.

They have been horrific today. Stambouli + Dembele/Paulinho needed to be the midfield duo.

I'm a big Bentaleb fan but he's given it away in dangerous positions, including for the goal, about 5 or 6 times so far. Needs to wise up and fast tonight.

Give him a chance fuck sake, even Bale wasn't brilliant every game.

 

[Cavehillspur]

Yellow for Mason

 

[Bofbro]

They are pressing Bentaleb hard as soon has he's got the ball.

 

[michaelden]

Mason not at the races, and the tackle deserved a card

 

[JohannTHFC]

Bentaleb and Mason clearly fucked after Saturday. How did we not see this coming after Saturday? And the only option on the bench is Paulinho? Tiredness is going to be our downfall here.

 

[Indisguise]

Come on, need to take the wind out of their sails.

 

[Phomesy]

Fuck me - that Ibe looks the real deal already.

 

[shelfboy68]

There is a danger that after saturdays great result we might be seeing the usual return of gifting goals and not turning up.
I hope this game doesnt get away from us before poch can try and sort a few things out.

 

[anydange]

Dembele bossing it out there. Been impressed with him lately.
