Spurs 4-1 Liverpool: In game and Post match discussion

Here’s a thought.......maybe Lovren AND Gomez AND Migs were all a bit culpable for the first......

Oh and stepping up to play offside is a perfectly legitimate and indeed essential part of a defensive handbook.....suggesting otherwise is ludicrous.

If you don’t you’d be defending in your 6yard box all day 

But if you get to high, you run the risk of being beaten by pace, by stepping up at the wrong time as Gomez did. One of the reasons we don't defend well enough is that we do defend high, we play 4-3-3 which is often 4-2-4. We are well and truly a front foot team. Can be fantastic but lose possession and we can be undone as we defend a high line.

And if our defenders are prone to errors and we have a keeper who's best attribute is shot stopping but his overall game is average at best we are not going to be top 4/5.

We clearly need to get better but get used to being vulnerable on the counter......that’s how we’re set up and it’s why offside is imperative to us.

It is to every team - especially those that play the high line and press.

but its so easy to just say lovren is crap.

Okay. Lovren is cr@p.






An he is CR@P.
