Spurs v Liverpool

0-2 FT. It's always a hard luck story for Spurs when they play Liverpool recently.

Ever since Liverpool added a world class midfield player with sublime passing skills......they have looked as toothless and slow as back in the bad old days.

Spurs should be chomping at the bit to thrash them.

On a side note, it was said that when normality returned the fans could and would have a huge celebration for the amazing win if last season .........how on earth do you celebrate when you are on the slide .....it was always a ludicrous suggestion .

Hello Sofa, Glass half empty still i see.

I've Got a good feeling tonight, this Jose's really growing on me.

U are so right sixtwosix about Thiago, who really needs to step up if Liverpool are to get something from this game.

This game has a real feel of dare not lose about it for both teams if either want a decent shot at top 4.

Hendo centre-half

R.I.P

Monies pouring on Liverpool... Not a good sign...

must be money laundering money.

Yep, I've zero optimism of getting anything here. Salah to score is a certainty. Probably a penalty.

Long time no see Emitdeb.

1-0 crikey

ffs VARed.

City will coast in on the bridle now sadly

No point even watching it from a neutral point

What was it a hair strand?

There's simply no point watching football any more - no Liverpool player protested and that simply isn't offside. They are drawing lines on a picture when Ndombele hasn't even completed the pass.

mane fh,thats just tough for spurs,looked a good one

a heel!!!!  the game is being ruined by this stuff - it wasn't what we wanted VAR for  now it is computerised  -

Heel spur.

Yup another one for the ever growing book

When the VAR boys are around lock up your goal

Can just imagine how it goes in the VAR box

"its not offside with this line, but if we do some fancy line drawing with the software, move this one, put this one here, take that one we took away and move it here... eh presto bobs your auntie"

And the best part about it... its still not offside

VAR junior boy

"what about the fact he's still not offside?"

VAR senior head boy

"don't matter, simple plot hole easily ignored, we don't have to explain our decisions to anybody, we're the invisible VAR boys"

Standard jan injury for Harry

We really do live in a right society

We're none of the ruling elites have to even explain their bull*it, we've bred it into every fooker as well through the indoctrination centres ie education system

VAR ruining the game.

Not offside in my book, unlucky Spurs.

Quite right Sontaran...... that early goal would've probably made this a great game... could be a lot duller now

Liverpool yet again look they could not finish a sentence never mind a move.

I dont get why Liverpool are now down to 1.97. Silly price, one which I am unable to take advantage of.

Prices should be flipped around?

You might ne right about the disallowed goal ....it is slowing down inyo another stalemate with both teams more than content , and loving not having fans tearing into them for strolling around the park.

For the record, the ref in the VAR van is Chris Kavanagh.

dodge a bullet there,poor finish

Yids once again struggling against relegation fodder rivals and they ain't even one up so they can drop 2 more pts again but at least we're watching the best league in the world

Sky and BT's line when we're watching a giant turd of a game> "It's a very tactical affair"..

0:1 Liverpool coming up.

Keeper should've stopped that getting to Fermino

luverly jubbly!

Firmino has been completely useless recently and scores two goals per season usually. Somehow those two goals always come against Spurs.

Dieror should that be Dire? just watched that fking ball trickle past him

fk off Spurs and doubly so Mugrinho and trebly Levy

They're all ****g Dier.  Extremely predictable losing this game.

sofa

It's embarrassing losing game after game after game to this (currently very average) Liverpool side. Might as well not even show up for games against Liverpool.

keeper bottled it.  Mane doesn't hit the best of passes he sort of stubbs it into the ground.  It rolls two yards from the Keeper's line but he sees a couple of blokes coming in and leaves it.  Dyer thinks he'll come for it then Firmino taps it in from 2ft out.

keeper's fault.

To think some desperate Spurs fans were/are seemingly "coming around" to Borehino and his shytie negative style of play. EMBARRASSING.

Goalkeeper watched the ball go past him, shocking.

Liverpool the better side.  Spurs just relying on Son being so quick or get the big boys up for a corner/free kick as Liverpool a very small side.

Deptford

I just said exactly that on the other thread.

Appletown Blue moved quicker out of the box!

any Spurs fan,by definition,has to be fking desperate esp with the present incumbent as manager

Winks and lamella . That'll sort it

Spurs bringing on the 100% accurate pass stats midfielder  .....all backwards and sideways .....to save the game ......hopeless.

TAA, step up from now on please!

these Scouse bottlers couldn't beat anyone for ages and toying with Spurs who are more hyped than the flu bug going around!!

Lou

That Spurs goal reminded me of a Bobby Charlton strike

lucky c***,was a shank that,pearler

They really do want to kill the game off .....defender tackling him better than a rugby player and all we see is the ball bounce against his hand.

I can understand the goal being chalked off, but how come do Spurs get the free kick as their player handled first.

poor refereeing.

Is Kane playing ?

VAR totally done Spurs again

Shambolic. Fair play to Pool they've done what they needed to and took advantage of it, but VAR should be... oh what the fook it ain't going is it.

on Blackpool beach

KANE WORLD CLASS

Tottenham fallen apart at the seams

Time to check the spurs players betting accounts, thats 3 goals and counting that they've assisted

it's ok they have Brighton at the weekend

Then again he played Ben Davis and a lad who isnt ready for the big ganes - Jose got it horriablly wrong tonight

WHERE IS PAT JENNINGS

sometimes players have to go off on a stretcher

Bale comes on on one

Saying that Pool have been abused by VAR this season so who the fook knows what's going through their heads

THE STANDARD IS SHOCKING

I take it bringing Bale back has not been a success as he is playing no part in a game as big as this ?

can't see a team from this league winning the CL this season. Man City maybe the only ones with a small chance

talk to me sofa. Jose out?

Lampard in?

passionless this performance, five or six yards behind the play - to many passangers

Could Lamela be replaced by Bale having completed just 11% of his attempted passes

Bale getting 12 mniutes at 1-3......more world class coaching ....good job he doesn't cost much.

Kane and Son gone missing when it matters

How can any forward player make a mark in a team where they sit so deep in the middle of the pitch and backline retreats about 40 yards at the sign of a opponent going forward

Dier having a belter tonight

Klopp now has a 7-2 record v Mourinho, old v the new

Commentators going overboard about Liverpool. Tottenham were terrible and gifted them their three goals.

Spurs was weak and pathetic

The shoboating in the middle was a joke, yet it took Bale on 91 minutes to put Ginji on the floor - if keane was playing - Winajaldum would be leaving on stretcher with his leg in bits, spurs midfielder winks allowed it, N'Dombele was seen smiling and laughing when on the floor at 3-1 down, have a word, and Lamela looked like he was dancing the flamming waltz when trying to win the ball back.

They looked confernce class in ability - yet they're internationals. No belief, no formation, no desire made them look pitiful and the defence, every one of them performed poorly - all making a mistake. Liverpool should've won by 8 or 9, thats how poor spurs was tonight, Liverpool didnt even play well,,, it was a freedom of the city out there!!

Nice stadium, though

Just watched the replay of the VAR and Alexanders arm is playing Son onside

Yet they'll be chalking one offside on Saturday or Sunday for an elbow straying over their make belief fantasy lines

Make it up as they fooking go and no one can ask them a question

And seriously... How is he offside when he's smack in line against a team playing a high line well outside their own box ffs, with Son back to goal

I fooking despair when watching it, then listening to the goon pundits

What a fooking world

He can't be offside when Pools backline is almost up at the fooking centre circle

How as it come to this? attackers having to stay in line near the centre circle?

Its literally flipped, it was suppose to protect against goal hangers but now its created defenders up on the centre circle camped out

dont know how Dier gets picked at centre back must be cause he speak the lingo

Yeah, the sport is barely watchable these days with VAR ****g sh1t up.  And then there's all the political stuff.

The thing is Spurs fans that they show the line and Son was a fraction offside.  Very frustrating I know but another time it will go in your favour where what looks like a perfectly good goal and not flagged by the linesman is then shown to be a fraction offside so surely swings and roundabouts.  The difference is the linesman will never make a mistake as the picture will show for sure whether it was offside or not.

The London challengers seem quite weak this year.  You've got Maureen the has been, Arteta the intern and Tuchel the smug, self satisfied and talented wordsmith who results never quite match the talk                                                                         I'm looking at the league table and oh look Moyes's claret and blue army are London's top boys

I thought personally the person most responsible for Spurs loss last night was The Special One...

His team selection tactics and subs were utterly baffling from start to finish.

Klopp clearly has got under his skin and has his measure.

Toby and Sissiko on bench for me was just plain weird, 5 at the back basically with no real way out. Doherty's been dire. Was again.

Nowt said though, just allowed him to throw players under the bus.

Same prick interviewer who tried to spear Klopp a few time over last few weeks. Says nowt to Jose.

I was surprised they gave Son offside. They judged it when Ndombele passed the ball to Kane. It was Kane who passed it to Son and he was well onside then. I thought they would regard Son as not interfering with play as the ball wasn't played to him or even towards him and he wasn't 'active' at that point. I thought the whole point was to let stuff like that go when he hadn't gained any advantage and had got himself back onside before Kane played him in. I thought they only judged offside in the build-up if the ball was played to you or towards you.

If they are the rules they shouldn't be imo. They shouldn't be ruling out good goals like that, the offside position of Son when they judged it had zero bearing on the goal.

Sorry just watched it again. I was wrong. Ndombele plays it to Son and he plays it back to Kane who plays him in
