First and foremost, 3 massive points on the board but can we please stop taking games down to the wire as my heart won’t be able to last until the end of the season!
Spurs were excellent today and their tactics were spot on, other than a 10 minute spell in the first half, they limited our chances and cut off our creative lines whilst still having an attacking threat with Lucas and co. I was crying out for us to change something at 60 minutes as it seemed inevitable that they would get a goal as our midfield were being completely overrun. Klopp’s subs were reactive rather than proactive which is the criticism I have for him, the changes he made should have been earlier as Fab and Origi’s introduction completely changed the game in our favour (particularly the change to 4-2-3-1 which gave Spurs something different to deal with).
Salah could be labelled as greedy at times in this game as he had a few opportunities to pass when we were through and he wasted the chances with a shot - which did piss me off quite a bit.
Fabhino was awesome when he came on and we suddenly started to have creativity from the middle of the pitch and he broke up everything.
Robertson deserves heaps of praise once again. Superb going forward and had a vital block to come to Alisson’s rescue.
VVD is the only defender in the Prem who can do what he done against Sissokho and Son in that second half, stayed up on his feet and cut off Sissokho from passing to Son for a definite goal and forced him onto his weak foot; world class defending.
Alisson really needs to sort his sh*t out, great shot stopper but f**k he scares me with the ball at his feet.
F**k IT THOUGH, top of the league, over to you City
