In order to rate this win I am looking forward to seeing match of the day.


I don't like AVBs high defensive line and if some of Liverpool's goals were on the break against this high defence then I would probably say that Tottenham contributed to their own downfall esp as down to 10 for part of the game.


But nevertheless a notable scalp.


Anyway I'll wait and see.

I don't worry too much about the bet Otta. It just helps give me someone to support. Would be very happy to see Liverpool mount a real challenge this year as I grew up a Liverpool fan and many friends and family support them. Would be nice to see them back at the top in England esp with an unsung NI man at the helm too.

Gertcha!


I could pick so many holes in our performance today but I really wouldn't know where to start and I don't want to make any excuses because there is no excuse for a performance like that. We were absolutely bloody awful and Liverpool were superb. It was embarrassing. I've not felt so angry after a game at WHL in a very very long time.

I want to keep the faith with AVB but if we lose against West Ham on Wednesday night then I will be shouting louder than anyone that he's got to go.


I want my Tottenham back.

It seems clear the high defence is a high risk strategy.



The Liverpool boss added: "We talked in the last couple of days about Tottenham that obviously the goalkeeper plays high and the back four play a high line, and Jordan's runs and Joe Allen's runs, particularly in the first half, were exceptional.

Answering your own posts Mac. Tut tut. Nevertheless, we can't play a high defensive line with someone like Michael Dawson in the back four because of his serious lack of pace. Dawson and Etienne Capoue (who's not really a centre back) were a makeshift pairing yesterday as we have so many injuries at the back. They played together like strangers. Playing Kyle Naughton at left back never works either. He was worse than useless yesterday, so bad he was taken off at half-time.


I've nothing against a high line but you need defenders with pace for it to work. Just look at Southampton, who play the same way - seems to work for them.


The only players who came out with any credit yesterday were Kyle Walker and Lewis Holtby and maybe Aaron Lennon. The rest of them were just bloody awful. a really bad day at the office. Unfortunately, we're having a few too many of those.

What I saw was 1) slow defenders and 2) big gaps between them. Liverpool crawled all over that strategy.


I didn't see the Liverpool Hull game - but I'd guess the Hull defence was packed and pool could not break it down?

Yep, he took it brilliantly, but he was totally on his own!


There were photos doing the rounds last night suggesting he may have gotten a little *ahem* over excited about it.

From the Beeb...


The early names being linked with replacing the Portuguese include current Russia boss and former England manager Fabio Capello, ex-Chelsea boss Roberto Di Matteo, Swansea boss Michael Laudrup and Tottenham's current technical director Franco Baldini.


Baldini is a surprise, it was him that bought in Lamela!..

    • It looks as though there will be 10 of us!  We are going to Love Dulwich again for a lunch and will checkout their 'normal' menu - from what we remember from the last 2 times we went = there was plenty to satisfy every one and they were happy to take party bookings.- Hubby and I have worked out that if all our daughters, grandchildren and great grandchildren were  to come - there would be 20 of us!! As it is - the Essex  family branch live too far away to come over for an evening - so we will meet up in Essex at a later date.
    • Tend to use 37 or 42 bus as rarely been able to find parking space. Sods Law - there is sometimes a few spaces when I bus it.!
    • Just to warn anyone thinking of employing or engaging Chris and Anna Richmond, that nothing has changed.  The accounts above from others are all too familiar.  A job that we were told would take between 6-8 months is now entering its 23rd month.  They have taken enormous amounts of money from us, finished nothing, and the quality of the work that they have delivered is poor to substandard.  They take no responsibility themselves - there are endless excuses and everything is someone else's fault.  They do not care about the impact that their actions have on anyone else.   They are, at best, chaotic. They have not delivered as the designers or project managers that they claim to be. They are rarely on site to monitor the progress or quality of the job that is being delivered and they and manage their largely non-English speaking workforce by WhatsApp and Google translate.  There has been little evidence that they employ the skilled tradespeople needed to lay tiles, install bathrooms and kitchens, decorate and complete to the standard that we have paid for.  I cannot stress enough, that if you are currently in discussion with Anna and Chris Richmond about a future job or have paid them money up front for a job that they have slipped in delivering, to quit while you are ahead.  Things won't get better.
    • Hi All, I’d like to recommend Aaron Manser, who several others on this forum have also used. Aaron is an excellent plasterer, and has just finished a complicated piece of plastering work for me, including a large expanse of ceiling. His work has been of the highest quality, his attention to detail is exceptional, and he’s also very quick, and tidy too. As an added bonus he has a lovely singing voice. Happy to provide any photos of the work he has done. This is the third time over the past few years I’ve had Aaron back. Aaron Manser - 07773 410661 Regards, Damien
