Spurs 0-0 Liverpool: In game and Post Match debate

We ran further and made more sprints than in any other game this season.

Well i don't know about the rest of ye , but i was happy with the performance today considering the little time Klopp has had to work with the squad and the amount of lads out injured . Can played in the position he's suited too and showed he's quality today . Sakho showing us that he  needs to be played all the time now, he's a beast . Mignolet playing with more composure and some fantastic shots stopped today . The energy levels were fantastic for the first 20 or so minutes and then dropped off but we kept a clean sheet and that's a good base to start .

He's terrible...

Christian Erikson and Hugo Lloris would walk into our team as would either of their centre backs. Townsend wouldn't.

I don't want either of those players near our team.

Townsend is the only one I'd choose from that team.

WTF?

LLoris? He'd walk in and be captain tomorrow. Eriksen? Alli? Vertonghen? Alderweireld?

Townsend can't even get a game over Nacer Chadli! And he's F***ing crap.

sh*t, even Danny Rose would walk in to our side.

Oh come on dude, Lloris is overrated, Sorry but, all those names you are saying are from this season yeah? You have a point with their defenders though.
I had to edit this, Lloris captain, what thine F**k.

Listen Fish. Townsend is utter garbage and I'm not sure you'll find many who agree woth you on here that he's any good and that they'd have him in our squad.

Stop being silly.

It's not even close is it. It's sad to see in a way but onwards and upwards

gutsy away performance lets see how the BBC edit it to make it look like we got battered

My brain may be slightly fu**ed up but he is talented . I'm not in charge of recruitment so you can sleep well. I'm not even doing this as a wind up so I'm getting even more confused now.

This was a good first match for our new manager. So many injuries to deal with. The team came to play and that's enough for me after only three sessions of training. They looked ten times better than they have this season. This has got to be the first match this season that more than one player could be a man of the match. Can, Lucas and Lallana were all superb. Migs was a great stopper today on several occasions. Clyne had several moments that were really good. Sakho was by far our best player though. His passing was top notch and his defending was spectacular. I could have picked any of those six players to be M.O.T.M. When is the last time any of could say that and the scoreline was 0-0? It's just such a positive start. A clean sheet is so sweet to see. We going in the right direction for the fist time since 13-14 season. The future looks bright. In Klopp we trust.

Oh crap Motd, I forgot. pc off now. Forgive me for honest opinions fellow fans.

In the midst of all the hype and hysteria surrounding Klopp, I recently had a conversation with a friend and came back to earth for a few moments. He asked what I expected/wanted from Klopp's start. I said if sacking a manager meant instant turn around everyone would do it, every week, and contracts would be no more than a year. We have a lot of challenges ahead, and for now, for the short term, I just want too see progression, glimpses of what the future may hold.

We certainly got that today. The effort, the intensity the will to keep playing until the final whistle. Injuries were obviously a huge hindrance today, but we still looked dangerous. There's still away to go in terms of this system and style leading to a flood of goals. But today we seen the start of that. As impressive as the first half was, I was maybe even more impressed with the final 10 minutes. Although riddled with tired mistakes, they were ignored, we just got the ball and tried again. Can's effort and the free kick on the edge of the box in the final minute were chances we haven't made recently because we have not had that confidence and belief to keep going until the very death. (That is not intended as a criticism of Brendan, it's just the place, mentally, everyone at the club was at)

We've seen the start, the key now is to show progression consistently. Mistakes will be made, but today, for the first time in a while, it feels like that is ok. One step at a time.

I don't want either of those players near our team.

Just to be clear...

You don't think Christian Erikson or Hugo Lloris would get our team ahead of Adam Lallana and Simon Mignolet....

Oh come on dude, Lloris is overrated, Sorry but, all those names you are saying are from this season yeah? You have a point with their defenders though.

Lloris is the French number one and Spurs captain and the difference in quality between him and Mignolet is enormous.

Eriksen is a gem of a player.

Dele Alli went from League 1 to Premier League midfielder and looks bloody good for a teenager. He plays centre mid for the most energetic team in the league.

You are off your head, sir.

I agree, Dele Alli looks great and doesn't look out of place in the Prem. Isn't he a Liverpool fan too? I'm surprised Rodgers didn't go for him... or maybe we did and he rejected?

Only saw the second half.

Commentator said we were more threatening in the first half.

But going on the second half, the game lack quality IMO. It looked like two very average sides playing out an average premiership game.

Klopp will need to bring in quality now, over the quantity that has been bought.

Hang on a second, give these current players a chance under Klopp before assessing what areas we need to sort out most.

A highly doubt Klopp is able to polish a turd, or two.

Fact is, the boss will need to add real quality to this team if we're serious about challenging for honours.

I think Studge, Firmino, Hendo, and Benteke should help address that problem.

I thought we played well. Organized defensively, good press, and created the occasional chance. Need to be more creative and accurate in the final third, but that will come with time.

Yeah fair enough, that would relieve some of the problem.

Time needed - but as I said, I only saw the second half, and I thought we could have worn claret and blue and been mistaken for Villa, such was the lack of quality on display - actually IMO, both teams looked pretty dung in that second half.

This team IMO still needs a talisman or two to drive it forward - think Gerrard pomp & Suarez ilk - and the players you mentioned I don't think add that to the team.

I'm sure Klopp will work well with what he's got, I just hope this club learns to spend it's money better on players in the future.

I agree, Dele Alli looks great and doesn't look out of place in the Prem. Isn't he a Liverpool fan too? I'm surprised Rodgers didn't go for him... or maybe we did and he rejected?

Not too sure if we got rejected but we were heavily linked with him before last season. I remember watching the Mancs v MK Dons game purely to see what the hype about him was as Rodgers even spoke about him in the media and MK Dons overall.

Maybe strong interest on our part but didn't follow through on it.

Anyway, i think the game was a tactical battle where both teams really cancelled each other out. Excellent pressing and pressure from both midfields and defences stunted the creative players of the opposing team.

It was more like a European game than a league game in a way. Enjoyed the battle.

After waiting two weeks for the first game, we now have a couple in quick succession to enjoy.

Will the phantom Joe Allen motm voter be unveiled? Who is this mysterious fan of the welsh xavi, the taffy pirlo etc

Finally was able to watch my recording of the match.

I saw a lot of positive things, a clean sheet at spurs, I'll take that considering Klopp only had a few days with the team and all the injuries.

If you can't see that then you're still being a doubter. Change to believer!!

Picked Mignolet as my motm.

It's great to watch the matches again with hope in my heart! #ynwa
