Liverpool at the lane - Match Thread

BERBA

That'll quieten down the pool lot for a while , super result

T-b0n3

Absolutely DELIGHTED. COYS.

Great performance from all and a great 3 points.

Was glad to see Adam deservedly sent off and that tackle on Bale last season, karma.

Leinstersqspur

What a win, not only the score but the manner of the performance! The movement of the team was joyful to watch!
TBH I think I would have given Parker MOTM, he was everywhere!

If we had 3points from our game in hand we'd be 4th!:D

SuprSi

Wow what a result. Absolutely delighted with that, and I really wanted to see 4 goals so was chuffed when Ade got his 2nd. It'll be very nice heading into work tomorrow to chat with a Liverpool mate who was sure they'd easily beat us

Hatch99

Brilliant performance.
Could have been 7 or 8..
Everyone played there part..

I'm really glad we got the 4. It's important to make back up the goal difference.

yidweiser

That was a joy to watch.
I think we have weathered the storm of the transfer market and now it's down to business.
Modric really knuckled down today and was class.
Krancjar is worth his place. A great link up man and has a shot on him.
How much is Scotty worth? *man
Adam\Carroll = Donkeys
I'd be worried for Kenny with this lot. They have no midfield.
I must say, I was not a fan of Adebayor before he signed for us but fair play to him. Great show. Is Tottenham the club for him?
What can I say, brilliant to see Defoe at it again.
Ledley back, things are surely looking up.
Please god we keep playing 4-4-2

ziedth

I also liked the look of VDV when he came on. 4-4-2 all the way I think.

Wendell Gee

fourth year in succession to beat them at home. That's just the kind of momentum changer that was needed. So much hype about Liverpool, and they are going to be a force, but they are not Barcelona. Suarez and Adam are talents, but Adam can be nasty, as we saw last year, and Suarez lost the rag both to-day and in May. I think he's Ledley's pet. What a player Parker is. I was not sure we needed him, but he wins so much ball, and never gives it up.
So refreshing to see both Parker and Modric constantly showing to take the ball off the back four.
I've long seen Adebayor as just the man to round off our team. I said before season that Kaboul and Defoe would have to have good seasons if we were to prosper. Hope they continue to. King makes any CB partner look better.
Need to handle Arsenal and Chelsea over the next few weeks, and then we can set course for top four or better.

Well put Wendell Gee.
Suarez, Ledley's pet.
Class
Are you Arsenal in disguise!
-8 GD now.
I wish we were playing them next.

mickman

what about adebayours first goal- the clip up over the goalie was a mirror image of messi last season against arsenal. People were going on abotu that for ages afterwards - ade deserves the same

if you compare him to crouch then its obvious that crouch isnt even in the same league as him. to get 10 million for crouch was the best bit of business ever.

adebayours ability on the ball, his footwork, control and shooting are leagues ahead of crouch. no way crouch would have scored either of ade's goals yesterday

we defo have gotten much better with hiim and parker

SuprSi

I absolutely agree. He's a proper striker. At times he was dropping quite deep collecting the ball, linking play - his pass to Defoe (when he was incorrectly called offside) for that chance in the 2nd half which Defoe subsequently missed, was brilliant, and something Crouch wouldn't have been capable of.

So far so good, and with Defoe already scoring almost as many as he did in the entire last season, hopefully things are looking up on the goals front.

Robxxx7

After the shambles of the first 2 games of the season .. I really think we can kick on now, Parker has fitted in like he's been here for 10 years and the movement of Ade up front causes defenders all sorts of problems .... have a good feeling about this year (as long as we can keep the important players free from injury)

Leinstersqspur

Defoe and Adebayor, five goals from two.
"The Parker and Modric Show" is in town, get yisser tickets quick!

Kiith

Parker and Modric play together like they've been playing together for years. Really confident, and some great passing moves. Also fantastic to see our strikers getting goals. Very solid performance. Considering how down we all were two weeks ago, things are certainly looking up

Glebee

Only got to see some of the game but I believe Dos Santos was brought on. How did he get on????

dont think he touched it

Leinstersqspur

He got ten minutes and was involved in one or two passes, made on decent tackle, too little time to judge to be fair... Looks to have put on a few pounds?!

Lemag

I've a friend who can't get over how "screwed over" 'Pool were by the ref. Seriously. I've pointed out to him that Coates was lucky to stay on the pitch after denying Ade a clear goal scoring chance. Suarez was lucky to stay on the pitch after the close line on Parker and Defoe being adjudged off-side despite being over a meter on. Am I missing anything else? Is he actually right to feel aggrieved? He's admitted that they were crap.

Usual boo-hoo from the Lpool types, when they win you never hear the end of it, when they loose they sulk.

I was the lone Spurs fan in the pub yesterday amongst a handful of Pool fans who insisted the TV be turned over after 80mins, missed the last goal. The owner of the pub was a Pool fan too

Yeah was hoping for a seemingly less biased and more match incident specific response though.

Both Adam and Skrtel deserved to be sent off, no contest. Coates deserved his yellow. Suarez could possibly be argued. The ref was card happy, but he had reason to be

ziedth

Reading the soccer forum thread yesterday actually made me cringe at times. TBF some of the pool fans were reasonable but Jesus I couldn't help but laugh at the sheer shíte some were spouting about how they were being robbed by the ref. The major talking points I think even taking my spurs fan glasses off:

It wasn't a goal for Liverpool.
Adam deserved both cards but MAYBEthe first was harsh but I have seen them given.
Skrtel deserved to go no question.
Suarez deserved his yellow for the slow clap, you can't do it.

I'd add that the ref was obviously card-happy for minute one so it was naive of Liverpool players to be flying into tackles, especially Adam and Skrtel once they were booked once.

Also, all those yellow cards were a symptom of being thoroughly outplayed. Those Liverpool fans need to look at their own manager if they want someone to blame.

Leinstersqspur

Just listened to Ray Wilkins say our first 20mins against Liverpool was the best start to a match by any team this season and we would have been 1-0 up against any side... COYS!
