Few dodgy moments aside, Liverpool were very impressive. Fair dues.

Kess73

Very happy with that.

Small moans with regards to the form of Gerrard, Sakho, Allen and ,to a lesser degree, Lovern.


But when you look at the excellent performances like those put in by Henderson, Sterling, Moreno, and Maquillo. Then look at the good to very good performances by Sturridge and the very promising stuff from Balotelli, Can, and Markovic, and it is becomes difficult not to feel like there is the guts of a very good starting XI and squad starting to come together.

Not to mention yet another important save by Mignolet that kept us ahead and prevented Spurs from getting a foothold back in the game when the score was only 1-0.


Plus it is a win against a direct rival for a top 4 slot, and against a team that did play well for the most part today.

3point lane again this season.

I like the way this team are developing.

Lovren very good bar diving into a few tackles too late but most were too far out to make any great difference.

V pleased with both fullback performances today for Liverpool. Moreno will take plaudits for a brilliant goal but Manquillo was very good too.

Redknapp summed up what i thought of spurs there he called them a "tippy tappy team". Easily outfought with no agression or purpose.

A reminder to everyone that Liverpool won't be going away.

as bitter and biased the redknapp mafia are against us, that point is actually painfully spot on:(

They were not easily outfought today. The third goal deflated them, but up until then they looked well capable of getting back into the game.

Think a quality finisher would make the world of difference to that team

Kess if our centre backs werent so shaky they wouldnt have had a sniff, I can't remember many times they took the ball from the back and ran at our midfield and defence and created anything.

Spurs were lucky that could of been a whole lot uglier today, uglier than last season even. If Balotelli had a few games under his belt he wouldnt have missed those chances.

SM01

Agree with Kess - Spurs looked like they could get back into it until Moreno scored.

Don't think too many other teams will get 3 points at WHL this season.

There were plenty of periods of pressure from Spurs during the first hour of the game and most of it came through our centre before being put out wide.


Yes Liverpool could have scored more, but think it is fair to say that Spurs playing as they did in that first hour would have had joy against most teams in the league.

What stood out for me when compared to the two games against them last season was how hard Spurs seemed to work at applying pressure when on and off the ball. They also look like they are becoming a much more organised team.

Today's win was a good one for Liverpool because it was against a team that I think will beat a lot of teams this season, and obviously because it was against a direct rival.

Still think a quality striker or two is what that Spurs team was missing today. They had no problems with their build up play and in their ability to apply pressure today, and I think that most teams would lose a bit of something after going three goals down to a Liverpool team that was attacking and playing well.


Would be no more disheartened by that Spurs performance today if I were a Spurs supporter than I was by our own loss to Man City last Monday night. We came up against a team that was that bit better than us last Monday and we shipped three goals despite doing well enough for the first 45 to 60 mins. Pretty much the same thing happened to Spurs today.

Reckon it was actually a good time to play them, as despite all our new players we have a fairly settled style of play under Rodgers, whereas Spurs are still adapting to what their new manager wants.


Am happy that we caught them for three points early in the season, and that our other rivals for a top 4 place will be going to White Hart Lane when Spurs will hopefully have had a bit more time to settle more into how Pochettino wants them to play.

Are you saying it's impossible to support your team and think they won't be successful?

Spurs were absolute shite today.

Adebayor was their only threat in the whole game.

Vertonghen needs someone other than Kaboul beside him.

I actually though Lloris could have done better with for Sterlings goal.

Steven Gerrard had an atrocious game and the Tottenham midfield didn't have the ability or the hunger to punish him.

Liverpool were there for the taking today with Lovern making air tackle after air tackle, an entire back four thats never played together and Gerrard having his worst game ever.

Were you in the Jacks for the three or four interceptions that Gerrard made?

Nope, just like i wasn't in the jacks when he gave away the ball time after time. He was useless today and other players would have been ripped apart by observers of the game if they'd played like that.

I've a feeling there won't actually be one, Shaw's got to lose about 3 stone or summat before he can play.

yes up til today we had played 4 games 2el ,2pl and had conceded 1 goal in the away leg of our el qualifier . which we came from behind to win 2-1.;)

showed no desire today and as much as i hated redknapp if he was in charge we kept fighting and gotten a goal or 2 back and had some pride in the display

Grayditch

I enjoyed watching us make a show of Spurs again, but we really should have pushed harder for more goals when they had given up all hope. At least Moreno saw the slump and walked one in.
