One positive thing I noticed that the players were not one bit phased by the "hostile atmosphere" the press wanted to be a factor.

They looked too relaxed if anything at times. So it looks as though if that was a reason for those 9mins at Anfield, they've learned from it and benefited with experience.
 
Laporte is not a left back. But even if we did play him there, we would have missed out at center back. Liverpool wouldn't stick Van Dijk at right-back just because the right back option wasn't perfect - Delph's error for the goal was schoolboy-esque

If the Dippers played VVK at right back they would fall to pieces , the drop in quality from Otto and Laporte to Otto and Stones or Vinny and Otto it is minimal , and Laporte has performed superbly at left back when required , Pep got it wrong tonight , not often he does , but he f*cked up big time.
 
I said before the game the biggest threat to us not winning was Pep overthinking it and picking a silly team.

And so it proved.

If he’d played those 11 players in their proper positions it wouldn’t be so bad, but 44fucking2? What’s he thinking there?

Our 2 best attributes are high and wide wingers isolating their fullbacks, and and extra man in midfield dominating possession. But that shape today negated both of those things. Absolutely bizarre!
 
Keeping it simple:-

Subpar performance

Winning run was bound to come to an end in a hectic period

P**sed off we haven't gone all out to get an away goal

Did you notice all these hand gesture celebrations from Son and co at the final whistle in front of KDB . Time to turn up next week and pummel these b******

Thoroughly s**** night but time for us fans to back the lads next week. They'll certainly need it akin to the Liverpool game
 
Hoddle, Ferdinand and Lineker talking as if Fernandinho tried to kill Kane with his elbow...Jesus Christ....how pathetic.

He’s golden boy, guess no mention of his pathetic dive holding his face the ugly ****?
 
Is it just me that would prefer Kane to be playing? Tottenham are a far better outfit without him. He's an out and out donkey. Don't care how many goals he has scored, He's so over rated.
 
Laporte is not a left back. But even if we did play him there, we would have missed out at center back. Liverpool wouldn't stick Van Dijk at right-back just because the right back option wasn't perfect - Delph's error for the goal was schoolboy-esque
He played left back against Liverpool in January and Salah didn’t have a touch. We had Kompany and Stones on the bench.

Delph shouldn’t even be traveling with the team now.
