We knew what sort of game we'd be getting against Liverpool within 30 seconds when Haaland blazed over. I cannot imagine Spurs going as gung-ho as Liverpool and giving us that sort of space. Nevertheless, you're right about the intent - we took to the field with positivity and, regardless of how Spurs set up, a similar mentality is needed.The low block works against us because we concede too many easy goals. Teams have done this for years now but we always found a way. Now managers must look at the games like Everton and Brentford and just try and replicate it. A bit of pace or a quality striker and we don’t look comfortable. Having said that, as we absolutely have to win this game, I think we will on Thursday. We need to start the game like we did against Liverpool in the cup.
