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!..

    • Maybe if you indicated what you were reviewing, pub, gastro pub, high-end gourmet, local Italian etc. - whatever classifications you wanted, then you need only indicate that your stars referred to overall quality in that category. So it it's pub grub then 5 stars means it's great pub grub, but not the same experience as 5 stars in a high end gourmet category. Your star system could then include implicitly value for money as well. 
    • Does OP know they can sell everything but alcohol even without a license?😄
    • Thanks, it's a real dilemma whether to do star ratings. A few people have asked me to do them but I've tried to resist as they are too reductive - people will look at them and won't read review! and they are difficult too - my last review of Victoria Inn, i'd give it five stars for value for money - how can you knock two courses for £18? – but 2 stars for quality - edible but nothing special. Which I guess is why some sites give star ratings for different things...
    • ok - Jeremy himself is against mandatory vaccines. Is he as extreme as his brother? No? Is it fair to discuss how the overall view of that family would inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic? I would argue very much so
