Ok.Hilarious.

I think you guys will lose more than you'll win still. But you're still great entertainment. Even better when Barkley is back for a foil for Grealish.Table is insane. We're 12th yet take 7 points from the three spare games we now have and we'd be level on points with the tally Spurs have.
I know OGS tends to choke when he gets Man. United within touching distance of doing anything but really with the fixtures you have over next few weeks you should be above Spurs going into 2021.
Spurs in 7th or 8th by end of the year would put a bit of a different spin on things but I suspect they'll beat Leicester as Rodgers style tends to play into their hands. Wolves away will be much more difficult with their low block and pace on the counter.
Don't think you were ever going to be romping to a comfy win. If you'd have scored you'd have faced a massive onslaught.We played very well - second half we matched them totally and should have been 2 or 3 up but it wasn't to be.
Because they've lost one away game to the team that romped the league by an absolute mile last year, who are still top even with their best defender out and who have drawn about 1 game at home in 3 years?!I can`t see this Spurs team getting top 4 .
Luck tends to go for the attacking positive team unfortunately.They deserved the win. Lucky day for Liverpool. The amount of luck Pool got at times is insane.
It was a good corner, but they barely created much more than that.
Bless you.We played very well - second half we matched them totally and should have been 2 or 3 up but it wasn't to be.
They did a lengthy check according to the amazon commentator.I thought he got blocked a bit. Surprised it wasn't at least debated in VAR booth.
No, just my opinion as I don`t rate the way they play, we will see.Because they've lost one away game to the team that romped the league by an absolute mile last year, who are still top even with their best defender out and who have drawn about 1 game at home in 3 years?!
Top four is very possible but as a realistic Spurs fan a title challenge is just in my eye's and opinion is just out the question.Because they've lost one away game to the team that romped the league by an absolute mile last year, who are still top even with their best defender out and who have drawn about 1 game at home in 3 years?!
No, I can't see anyone else agreeing with you though.Well we are never going to agree on this are we?
Oh quite - Tottenham were never going to last in a title race. That was delusional from the "it's anyone's" rabble.Top four is very possible but as a realistic Spurs fan a title challenge is just in my eye's and opinion is just out the question.
Mentally we are just not there... The draw against Palace and now this. We can't even get a draw against this lot these days.
We have as much chance to win it as any of the teams near the top of the table in my opinion. A loss at Anfield doesn't change that.Top four is very possible but as a realistic Spurs fan a title challenge is just in my eye's and opinion is just out the question.

Because their performances haven't been great. They're a long way off the top three sides. They're obviously in contention for a top four finish though and look a lot better than last season. Probably battling it out with United.Because they've lost one away game to the team that romped the league by an absolute mile last year, who are still top even with their best defender out and who have drawn about 1 game at home in 3 years?!
If Son gets injured I think you're in for a real drop off.No, just my opinion as I don`t rate the way they play, we will see.

Exactly.Liverpool had 76% possession and 11 shots on target to your 2. It takes spectacular levels of delusion to watch that game and conclude that Spurs should have finished 2 or 3 up.
You have as much chance to win it as any team bar Liverpool yes.We have as much chance to win it as any of the teams near the top of the table in my opinion. A loss at Anfield doesn't change that.
I don`t support Spurs ffs.If Son gets injured I think you're in for a real drop off.
Jose likes to play his best team to death so I imagine it'll catch up on you at some stage.
Tottenham had the best chances though. That is utterly undeniable.Exactly.
Wonder what @balaks is smoking to conclude that Spurs matched them totally. If Spurs would have won this game then it would be a sucker punch, not a victory. You were with your backs against the wall for almost the entire game.
Nothing wrong with it though because if you strip the game to its absolute basics then the team who scores more on the day wins but it would be a horribly boring win. I really thought no team could surpass the dross City and we served last week but all it took was a few days.
Apologies - I misread the "we" as being we play rather than being the following word from "we will see".I don`t support Spurs ffs.
They are clear favorites but we have beaten City, Arsenal and Utd and drawn with Chelsea so we also have done pretty well against our main rivals so far. It's going to be a really close season though it's Liverpools to lose.You have as much chance to win it as any team bar Liverpool yes.
To throw that away so late was a sickener for us - let alone for it being your team!
Only tiny saving grace is Liverpool have at least dropped points a few times this season -when last year they barely did all season.
However they have already won at Chelsea. Drawn away at City and Everton. Beaten you and Arsenal at home.
Don't count on us to do you a favour!!
Son and Kane will do enough to keep them up there. Nobody in the league has consistency apart from Liverpool. Whilst Spurs will continue to drop points in matches where Jose’s archaic style shines through, so will Chelsea, City, us, Leicester...I can`t see this Spurs team getting top 4 .
Like feck. It would have been a smash and grab, undeserved victory. Tactical perfection involved out-playing the opposition. Being the better team over 90 minutes. Not that shit. Replay that match 10 times and Liverpool win 8 of them.Tottenham had the best chances though. That is utterly undeniable.
If they'd scored one of those and won it, it would have been tactical perfection.
Not denying that. Also pool's first goal was incredibly lucky. My assertion was more to do with the absolute lack of ambition to play the ball and build something. You can put lipstick on a pig but it will still remain a pig.Tottenham had the best chances though. That is utterly undeniable.

I think we are all laughing (at least I am), that Spurs could have been 2 or 3 up according to @balaksTottenham had the best chances though. That is utterly undeniable.

I'm thoroughly enjoying it to be honest. I can't remember the last time we were at the top of the league this far into the season. I don't think Spurs fans, nor Jose give two sods what fans of other clubs think about the football.Not denying that. Also pool's first goal was incredibly lucky.

That tactic will win you games but it's like selling your soul to the devil to get results. You have next to no margin for error and it sucks the joy out of every moment.
No problem mate , I just think Spurs are one dimensional and reliant on Kane and Son .Apologies - I misread the "we" as being we play rather than being the following word from "we will see".
It's been a long day and is getting late
Did wonder about your username
This. You can only play that way for so long. Eventually it will catch up with you.Rode their luck in the previous few and it run out. It’s unsustainable to play that way. Still, not sure that’s the games that decide if you win the league or not:
Fair enough if you are enjoying it. Don't talk for all Spurs fans though as there are a fair few who don't like the football.I'm thoroughly enjoying it to be honest.

We’ve already established your capacity for self-delusion in this thread but - hand on your heart - are you honestly enjoying this as much as when Spurs were actually getting praised for their football under Poch?I'm thoroughly enjoying it to be honest.

I am honestly yes because I actually believe we can win silverware playing like this. As much as I love Poch I never really believed we could sustain things long enough to win anything - apart from a wonderful Champions League run which was incredible of course and for which I will always love him. I want us to win stuff - I think we can under Jose. We could play 11 behind the ball every single match and win them 1-0 and I'll be absolutely fecking delighted.We’ve already established your capacity for self-delusion in this thread but - hand on your heart - are you honestly enjoying this as much as when Spurs were actually getting praised for their football under Poch?
the Spurs fans I know want him gone, and wanted him gone the first day he arrived. Clearly they enjoyed the United game, and some of the results.Fair enough if you are enjoying it. Don't talk for all Spurs fans though as there are a fair few who don't like the football.
