PLAYER RATINGS: Liverpool 3 - 2 Spurs

Lol... Felon do yourself a favour, and just be happy I've decided to offer my knowledge to proceedings, eh!

My stance as far as supporting the club, team and management has NEVER changed, so if me deciding to bestow my wisdom upon this site, once again, makes fickle (in your world) then so be it!

The truth behind me deciding to take a well deserved sabbatical was more due to my becoming bored with the repetitive and simplistic interactions I was continuously having on here...and on the evidence of your last post, I feel not too much has changed!

And as for your question, every professional must give a degree of effort/drive/ desire to their careers otherwise they wouldn't bother train/practice/perform.

Now that I've quickly (and rather easily) cleared up, and answered, that question, I suppose the REAL question then becomes what inspires a professional sportsman to want to give as much as they possibly can in order to reach their FULL potential?

...Now THAT would've been a FAR more interesting question for me to answer!

 

Yes, i think this is a solid piece from Ramos. We played very well last night and 8 times out of 10 we would have come home with the points. Just a few sloppy errors but a good performance from what Poch has created a very decent team/squad.

 

O yer wasn't Rose man of the match last week in that home win? (And note was taken off the corners, created a few chances so good stuff, could be the difference).

 

Not read all the comments but we have taken 22 out of 30 points and another run like that will see us firmly in the top four with pretty much all the games v big boys ticked off. Been some awful football in that time and some bizarre selections and sub's but the last few games have been breathtaking football and we were well worth a point. Pochs decision to show faith in his squad rather than spend is paying off and lamela even is looking promising. Dembele has been taught a lesson off mopo and no longer seems to be playing within himself. Kane looked
Tired last night understandably so! Dier's rating very harsh he made some great last ditch tackling and looked to be pulled by ballotelli in the goal. A left back is needed but my does Jordan Ibe look a prospect tho. Poor old danny rose got rinsed he won't be the last!

 

It was a reasonable performance but there was passes going astray everywhere in the first half. As for this chat re Lamela i think he's not quiet there yet. I accept he's a decent worker and does a bit back in defence but we need more in attack aside from the the odd slipped pass, not enough for my liking. But away from home we need to be tighter and make more chances when we are in positive moments in the game. COYS

 

It was a real decent game, we definitely deserved at least a point, if we play like that more often we should do well this year. I think there are 13 games left and we must approach each game meaning to win it. This season is going to go right down to the last day i recon. This month could be pivotal.

 

Dier was lucky on a few occasions that tackle for another penalty was a risk to put it mildly. But on the whole i agree with the scores. Much better than our normal away performances at Anfield.

 

I blame our HC for the loss. All Poch needed to do was to substitute Rose. Davies would have had a fresh legs and proper mind set. Whilst Rogers subs had goal and assist, Spurs substitutions did not matter at all. Also Lloris was way bellow the level of play we now expect from him. His positioning on 3rd goal was that of ordinary goalkeeper. I would expect him to stay more to his left allowing him to intercept or just disrupt Lallana's pass.

 

I disagree. Spurs need to put all attention to UEFA. Starting with Fiorentina tie and possible clash with Reds again down the road. Winning Europa is a better possibility and less effort than collect 30-35 points in 13 games in order to reach CL. I'd like Spurs to fight on both fronts but I realize that it is the prescription for losing a war.
