Tottenham Hotspur 0-2 Liverpool: In game and Post Match discussion

Scrappy is an understatement but thanks to their own sloppiness and our CBs, we hold a mild advantage. We might be seeing Milly for Gini if things stay like this.

Don’t say we didn’t deserve the lead. We scored the goal and they didn’t. It’s a cup final which means a chess game which means no entertainment but all tactical. We actually defended well. Didn’t let in any goals.

Don’t say we didn’t go for it. We did but we’re careful not to leave gaps behind.

I’d take a boring second half and win it anytime.

Yes this please, I think we need Milner to kick some ass on the pitch and bring some solidity

Fewest passes that we've completed in a half this season 

Need to up our game before spurs do
It’s all down to who grabs it by the scruff of the neck first.

My god, our goalkeeper is also one of those complacent now. Klopp must give the whole lot a good whipping at half time.

Don’t get it, ok we not full throttle but we’re one up half time in the final our goalkeeper has been a spectator , rom for improvement but lots of over reaction on these boards .

I thought it’s the score that matters?

Isn't Millner suspended? Old man Milner does better than the front 3 combined. Absolutely no cohesion between them.  If the front 3 can't do a proper job, get someone else in who is hungry. I can see that Spuds is crowding their own box, we must shoot accurately from outside the box that may result in a deflected goal or own goal. No point trying to dribble past the wall.

Ai mate!

No suspensions for a Final.

I’d be getting Milly on for Gini soon and I’d probably think of taking Bobby off too (he definitely shouldn’t have started)

It will after the full match. We need more control in mid, think we'll have it in the second half.

No suspensions for a Final.

Great. Milner in bobby off.

Penalty....only feckin' just..the other way and we'd be up in arms over it..big favour for us..but we haven't capitalised on it..yet.

We seemed to sit back after the goal, but it was so early, perhaps that was the plan from the start.
No suiting us that tactic. Let’s get st them. Up the pace, caress the ball, pass and move and keep possession as we cut through them.
Seems like we scared to go for it in case one bad ball give them the opportunity to counter.

If you deprive two teams of playing competitive matches for 3 weeks you get this sort of half.

Bobby doesn;t deserve a place in the starting 11. Did he featured in both semis? Origi must be given the chance to unsettle their defence in the air.

Ok ok for those who just want to hear it.

Won a not so clear cut pen. Sloppy pen. Let Spurs run the show. We’re asking for it. We bottled it. Didn’t deserve the goal. Lucky to be 1-0 up. Better buck up or risk conceding a few in the second half. 

It’s a cup final. You do not leave gaps behind for Spurs to outnumber and run at you. We’re still doing ok tactically. Didn’t we take more shots and had more corners?

Origi deffo in for bobby who is not fit at all

We're 0-1 up. In a Champion's League final. Full throttle? F**k that. No need to leave a ton of space in behind with the likes of Son lurking.

Spurs have created nothing.

We can counter, it suits us. Just have to be better in possession.

Also look at Trent and Robertson. How many overlaps have we seen? No need to push up and leave gaps.

We'll score a second.

We have already given them back possession time and again, we simply has no idea what to do with the ball in the final third. Front 3 jogging in the final third, not tracking back to defend and required the midfield to work overtime.

I know bob ain’t set the place on fire, but he hasn’t seen much of the ball either. Perhaps we need to get him more involved !
Into the Kop now, so two more would be nice.
