Phillips just shows what having a natural CB there does even if he isn't top class he knows the role.

He's that bit older than Williams too. If we're not buying a CB in this window I would prefer Phillips beside Matip or Fab than Henderson or Williams

I don't think mourinho can say the best team lost tonight:)

RugbyLover123

He will probably make some mistakes, by I would like to see Phillips start at CB with Matip now if it meant seeing Fab, Hendo and Thiago start in midfield together.

*on the note that Matip and Fab are only minor

West Ham will be tough. Only 3 days away. And they’ll have had 2 days extra rest. Centre of defence? Who knows?

Great to experience the sweet sweet taste of 3 points again though.

Agent Coulson

I'm taking full credit for the win I took Bobby and Mane out of FF Team and replaced them with Kane and Son.

dogbert27

Phillips played in the win over West Ham earlier in the season so giving him the minutes tonight could be getting him ready for the full 90 for the weekend.

Lucky win, Tottenham clearly the better side

retalivity

Nobody better than gini shielding and holding onto the ball

yourdeadwright

We need to go get a CB tonight

Fitz*

Get the **** in.

Massive win. Best gameweek of results in a long long time.

Plasandrunt

Just the Mighty Reds the league champions winning football matches.

DrumSteve

I like that Phillips is from the John Smiths school of defending.

No messing at all.

He is not top level but, I wouldn't **** a brick if he was there like Williams for instance.

ShamoBuc

Carlsberg don't do 24hrs in football.......
but if they did.....

3 pts, great away performance, fabulous

facehugger99

We just need to improve against the bottom-half sides.

murpho999

Great win, all positives except for Matip.

I think tonight changes everything, confidence is back.

Osmosis Jones

Gotta say Hugo Lloris is the worst "one of best goalkeepers in the league" I've seen.

Question: why isn't Nat Phillips starting?

No point, he'd probably be injured by this time next week anyway.

No pace.

Better option than Williams for sure.

mosstin

Exactly 7 days ago, we had some lads in here offering advice on our woes having succumbed to Burnley. I think it'll be a quiet one tonight.


A week is a long time in football.

Francie Barrett

Such a vital win, but totally deserved.

That was more like it tonight.

Improved performance was there v Utd. Better again tonight.

Maybe the title wasn't won in Jan. Right back in the mix now.

Where the fúck has that Trent been?

It might force the owners into buying a CB.

He's coming out of his covid coma....

Just remembered Matip got injured again. Hopefully Fabinho is OK by Sunday.

yourdeadwright

Milner been great these last 2 games like his passion and bite sparked the rest of the lads

Haller stunk the joint out that day, pretty easy day at the office. Be interesting to see who klopp picks.

Matip needs replacing over the summer

Maybe but they don't work that way and stick to their guns.

Getting the right player is difficult too.

rob316

And we're back, that was outstanding. Trent, firmino, thiago ran the show. For the love of God buy a centre back, this can still be a successful season.

Shanee.

Sign a CB and we’ll retain the league

yourdeadwright

I really do thin Williams is only starting over Phillips because he is young and might have a future at the club
Youd have to imagine Klopp thinks Philips is better but not in the long run

SlickRic

But still...

Buy a goddamn centre back.

Was it just me but did anyone else become very confident after seeing klopp pre-match. His was laughing and bouncing around the place.

Unfortunately now is not the time to be rolling the dice for the sake of the future. While Williams might have a higher ceiling it's all about who can do the basics right now.

I think William's is more comfortable with the ball at his feet, playing out from the back, which Klopp likes.

Bobby was superb.

niallo27

Klopp is emotional, love that guy. He is like the father I never had.

KevRossi

It helps that we went ahead against Spurs and them playing at home. They are under pressure to go forward and can't play 5-4-1 or 5-5-0 like other teams. We have difficulty breaking down those systems.

If we can play 10 mins of early Klopp era 'heavy-metal football' against West Ham and go ahead, we've a very good chance of beating them. They are in the mix for a EL place and Moyes will want a result against us as his record is so poor v Liverpool.

Apart from that:

• TAA played well in phases.
• Nat better than Rhys. He needs to start if Matip is out. Fab and Hendo can mentor him.
• TAA, Mane, Bobby and Salah all scoring will get confidence up. Yes, Salah disallowed, but it was a very good strike and he was in no way responsible for it being disallowed.
• Mane still holding the ball at times when he should be driving forward.
• Milner a monster.
• Gini will be a huge gap to fill if he goes in summer, we need him so much in games like today.
  
  We need a CB before the week is out. Urgently.

Agent Coulson

They were going to win the league before the first meeting this season according to some of there fans.
