***OMT TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR vs Liverpool***

Thing is the manager has come out and said we're not starting games like that by design. Dunno if I believe that, if so what is wrong with the players? Can only play without pressure?

I don't believe it either - i think what he means is we aren't playing that way as well as he wants us to. I remember Jose saying something similar about sitting off when we had the lead, which again was clear for all to see was under instruction.
 
Conte started the game to fearful. He has done this before with Chelsea a number of times. Simply by not using the most offensive WBs we have, but the most defensive în an at home match, shows his lack of confidence în our team. This is the only thing I can see wrong with Antonio. Elsewhere, I think he has given us so much and improved us. Just needs to shake this small team theory he has.
 
It wasn't just on Dier. We had loads of good chances to equalise that we didn't take. Throw in a bent ref as well that denied us a stonewall pen, about 10-15 frees and forgot he is allowed book Liverpool players.
When one of your centre backs gifts the opposition a goal that they haven’t created it is absolutely on them when you lose.
 
There was a real effort out there today
Arguably more than any game this season for me
The CMs had their best game as a 3 too
Seeing a wing back bang a cross out though when he had 10 yards to move into was scary and shows the issue
And diers brain fart was awful
 
To be fair we played on the front foot and conceded 2. We were pushing high up the pitch, but our back line was exposed. Pool got 3 or so chances to score. Just need to keep working on that way of playing, as its the way forward.
Sorry, but that isn’t true…, Neither goal came from our defence being exposed due to us being high up the pitch.

Issue is it seems to rely on us not making mistakes, but we're Tottenham. There has to be a balance to be found. Maybe having Kulu etc back means we needs to commit less as we'll have players who can create better.

Also gonna need better wing backs, Sess is being outshone by someone 50 years older than him and Doherty done more than Royal in the 20 mins he was on.

Son, kulu and romero back and if we can play like we did today and we have little to worry about.

One thing I’ll say about sess again is look at how many balls get played to him I’ve royal
It was clear to see the CBS look right, thing nah it’s coming straight back and they pinged some decent balls to sess

But we are missing huge first team players. It’s not the dross or squad filler
Pool today was missing arguably one first 11 player depending on the team they pick and IMo still looked average
