Pogba would be free to push up more to help the front three. Jose not convinced yet unfortunately.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
Salah cocks up an easy pass to Mane for 2-0
Got to say that when the Spurs defenders clear the ball out from the back under pressure it seems to go directly to another Spurs player, even under the not inconsiderable Liverpool press.
Gonna bet 3-0 Liverpool FT
How's the 200m man rating so far?
It’s a joke, he’s playing Alli and Eriksen and they cant even get the ball into them. Alli shouldn’t have started, and they should have another CM in there.
Hopefully Spurs nick the equalizer and ends 1-1, the best result. However, Liverpool win isn't a bad result, though, will nullify our last defeat.
Barely touched it. Had one good pass to Son but it was incorrectly ruled offside and he had a decent run before a blocked shot but that's about it.
Every time they announce one of our games they seem to be willing the other side to win. I know you are joking but it is annoying.
Best player on the pitch named Harry so far.
I think I heard his name once!
Liverpool's pressing has been excellent. They have really stifled Spurs.
Still think this midfield and in particular Milner more than anything is the wrong selection. I think we could have been further in front, good goal though.
Hopefully Gini on in the second half. This game is far from over

Liverpool really should be further ahead. Terrible final balls.
Spurs being Spuds.
Interesting 2nd half in store.
Henderson and Milner have served Klopp well. Esp. Henderson who's been commanding.
Robertson has been poor.
Kane I think is already thinking about his Spain flights.

Exactly. We were a man down in midfield.. a place where games are won
2-0 looks more likely than 1-1. Come on Spurs you away game bottlers.
Good job Winks not playing or it might have been a close call.
I think Klopp has got it spot on; your forwards wastefulness has been apparent.
Against Spuds, your midfield has to be solid and Henderson and Milner together give your fragile backline more solidity.
They hammered us 5-0 in 96 as well. Absolute disaster match for us.
1/10 been hiding so far, not the kind of player who can look good when Tottenham don’t
Disgusted to have lost to Spurs last week now.
Anyway I think that's the problem of both sides (Liverpool and Spurs) especially the latter one, that both are excellent when it clicks on a single day but at the same time not consistent to put the same performance each game. Spurs inconsistency is more obvious though. They can look like beasts in one game and terrible in another one.
I think Jose has so many options and Lingard has really played well but yes, a solid midfield 3 with Pogba and 2 sitting midfielders is the way to play to his strength.
Don’t expect Spurs to get anything. Liverpool will grab another and kill it off.
Spurs never get a result when our want them to.
This. No cohesive defence from us after the goal. All a bit frantic in that match. Poor Alexis.
People talk about tactical flaws. Fair assessment but I think our biggest problem was that we had no fight in us, no fire in the belly. We had too many players who simply did not come to the party, too many players who were lazy on the day.
There's something about Englands Eric Dier that seems to absolve him from criticism by English pundits
Dier the worst player on the pitch by quite some distance, the difference between the teams. Nice assist for Salah to exploit.
Just goes to show how playing away from home against a top 6 side is so tough. Kane looked brilliant against us. He is not so great today.
Think so. Spurs will have to try and get a goal and Liverpool will kill them on the break.
Yep.
None of the top 6 is particularly great away to their rivals. City have a chance this season because they've won at Utd and Chelsea already but that's about it.
What’s happening with Kane? I thought he singlehanded scored goals game after game, or is that notion only to slag Lukaku on here?
Scouse culture galor...
Scouse culture galor...
And this same Liverpool side went to Spurs and lost 4-1.
I guess, I'm going to watch the first 5 minutes of every Spurs game, from now!
Not too surprising.
Spurs or anybody really coming at us at Anfield usually doesn't work out so great for the oppo. Lucky they're only down 1-0, we need to be more composed in our counters

How about if we repeat the 5 (6?) we've put past them a decade ago instead?
Beside City. Every other top 5 team seems to not to do so well away from home vs other top 5 team. Not including Arsenal because they are terrible even at home.
