We usually do.

Pretty poor performance from us for 70+ minutes. Was very luck to get a win, but at least we held on. Dempsey and Sigg once again were poor, and we really suffer without having someone in that position to play well. Would prefer to see Ade and Defoe playing together when he's back.

Still, 3 points.

Fcukin hell, glad that's over. Gallas is a liability, Dawson made a few mistakes too. When is Kaboul back?

Leinstersqspur

Never in doubt;)

Held on a bit in the second half but we deserved the win

Haha come on now, that is going a bit far

Considering we were missing some very important players, it's a great win.
We miss Adebayor badly for variation up top, JD struggled 2nd half, but in fairness we didn't threaten very much at all in the 2nd 45.


I thought Liverpool played quite well.

Onwards and upwards....COYS

Why do we do this? why do we sit back and let the other team come at us when we have a lead,I hate it.

In fairness you have to give Liverpool some credit, they played well. And add to that that we have no other option apart from defoe up top. I personally think Adebayor would have made a big difference in that second half, holding it up, and bullying agger/skrtel and causing all sorts of problems.

Leinstersqspur

Hep they had Defoe marshalled out of the game and were using their fullbacks and wingers very well to keep Bale and Lennon on the back foot. Dempsey was poor, there is very little interaction between Defoe and him. Apart from Siggy for Dempsey there was little else we could have done plus Dembele's lack of games showed in the second half.

Jose Enrique had a very good game, very impressed with him.

5th in the table. Bring on Fulham!

Of course Liverpool played well,we sat back and let them do what the liked,thank god they're so poor these days.Don't get me wrong though I'm delighted with the win,It's way better than the doom and gloom of only a couple of weeks ago.3 points off third is good.:)

pancho84

I would of liked him to bring on Carroll for Dempsey and push Dembele forward into the hole, I think he could play just as well there

That Brendan Rogers interview was laughable,he's some man to talk up his team,they're 4 points off the relegation zone ffs.

DubPerryman

I can only agree with what most people have said, without Adebayor we have no way of retaining possession in the final third. This puts ridiculous pressure on our defence. No only does it put pressure on the defence, but it also tires our wingers who get up to support the forwards and then have to sprint back to defend as soon as the ball is lost.

I felt Lloris did well again and this will only go to improve his confidence even further.

The fact that we had no striker on the bench to come on for Defoe/Dempsey supports my points in the 'Youth Promotion' thread - surely Coulthirst could have been rewarded for his NextGen performances and put on the bench today?!

One big positive, earlier in the season we would have definitely given the two points away there. Let's push on for Saturday.

COYS!

Other result have really gone our way tonight. 3 points against Fulham and I'll begin to believe that this season isn't a write off.

Rodgers " We should have won, in fact we would have been disappointed with a draw"

You lost you choob, that interview is indeed hilarious.

Great win if not a great performance. AVB is doing no good for my stress levels thee days. Great 6 points which i didnt expect from the last two games. 3 points off third, would love if we really got a run going now through christmas.

No reason why we can't if we get a few of the injuries back, but we need another option up front with adebayor heading off for a month soon.

Is he definitely going? Didnt he retire from international duty? or did he retire and then change his mind again?

Watched the highlights on Sky, delighted we hung on. In saying that I don’t recall Lloris making a save in the 2nd half? Adebayor… a dispute over money, who’d have guessed?

Rodgers loves using that superlative magnificent…No Brendan, magnificent is 3 points.

Can't find a link now but I read somewhere before that Ade's disputes over money are due to the African charities he represents. Of course SSN wont mention this

Hatch99

I'd imagine he'll end up going whether he likes it or not :rolleyes:

Yeah, we need to accept he's going and need Levy to invest in a backup striker in the Jan transfer window.

I think the African charities issue was around before he made the move from City to Spurs, he's a senior player at Togo so the other players are looking to him to help them get paid for the game played v Morrocco.

He'll end up going so we need to SPEND! Defoe made only eight passes last night.

Was Defoe playing last night? Barely noticed him at all. Yes we have won two games in a row with Defoe in the team but we are a much better side with Ade up front. With him gone to the ACN in Jan., Levy has got to buy another striker. We have a nice run of fixtures into the New Year - a couple of victories and AVB can put pressure on Levy to delve into the transfer market.

Good result last night but we were hanging on for the majority of the second half.
How great is Bale? We would be lost without him.

mickman

didnt see it live lad but it sounds like we werent very impressive

How we are actually winning some of these games , ill never know.

But 3 points is 3 points

Would be happy with a draw at fulham - i hate playing them away

spursman11

got lucky,thank god we took our chances in 1st half,All liverpool for 2nd half,badly missed ade up front to hold ball up,defence played ok,pools goal was poxy but they could have had more.Bale was excellent,thought agger should have got red for tackle in 1st half not a chance of getting to the ball.Fulham will be tough ,got a good draw last night against Chelsea.

mickman

watched highlights - walker looked more solid than usual

Gallas looked shocking - loads of mistakes
