Finally we score! Deserved. Much better side so far.
Think both teams have their plan and there's no doubt which team has the better brand of football but you could easily be 1-0 down or 3-2 up. Weird and open game.

Been Impressed with Ndombele for Spurs. He holds the ball really well. Doherty is having a 'mare and Dier, well, that just sums him up. Some good moments/games but always will do something silly (though maybe you could blame Hugo)

What does Mourinho get out of this, seriously?

Could understand these tactics if they were 1st or 2nd and needed to keep Liverpool below them but they could be as low as 8th if they lose tonight and Everton and Chelsea win on Saturday.

They need some wins otherwise they'll going to be really off the pace soon, Chelsea at home this time next week for them.
They're done for tonight.
5 at the back with a right footer at left wing back, and zero progress forward from either side, hoping one breakaway will win them it.
Kane will do well to last the game, and has been a passenger for the last 15.

Woeful stuff. Think i'll leave this game until midway.

Dier and Lloris both thought the other would deal with it, the way they both leave it is very poor indeed. It's more on Lloris though, that's his ball to take. Dier should be dealing with it if he hasn't got a shout.

From title-contenders to fighting for EL-spot, how the turntables.

Reminded me of Maguire/Lindelof and DDG

Will Liverpool fans be pointing out those extra 18 seconds the ref allowed in injury time?
Probably not.....

If Liverpool were playing with Henderson and Fabinho in midfield and Van Dijk in defence they would probably have won it again this year.
That was dream scenario but I’ve conceded now that’s not going to be the case for this season. Matip back in the team, and then Fabinho out again with Henderson in defence again, we can’t catch a break and are just plugging holes where we can. It’s all about getting enough results for top 4 now.

Is Reguillon injured, Doherty as LWB is a bizarre pick. Could just play Davies there although he's more a safety first type of full back and bring in Toby or the young kid.

Jose’s fecked up here with a 5 at the back, their midfield is being over ran with only 2 in there. Should have matched them all over the pitch cowardly tactics from Mourinho.

Holes in your defense you can deal with fine as long as your midfield and front three are fit, which they have been.

Kane subbed off for Lamela, was basically playing in centre circle last 10 minutes.

Aurier off for Winks so more of 4-3-3 now.

Looks like he’s changed it should make for a better second half.
