Spurs are generally solid with some very good players here and there, but I just think they lack characters and top quality throughout the team to take them up a notch. Hence they can fade in these big away games.

Liverpool still struggling to get out of second gear this season. But two wins & clean sheets much needed.

As I’ve said before, there is now a culture where it’s deemed acceptable to chant aggressively at the opposition which is deemed as ‘banter’ and thus deemed an acceptable way to let your hair down – but you can’t act surprised when such chants turn into more vile chants and coin throwing by more thuggish elements. It is baked into the “bread and circuses” of it all. What I don’t quite get – if there was racist abuse, it would rightly be widely covered and discussed by the media for weeks on end and what else can be done about it. But other abuse and coin throwing – that barely gets a mention and quickly gets swept under the carpet.

Is there a worse post match interviewer than Geoff Shreeves with leading questions?
“How much of a role did the crowd play today?” 🙄
To Van Dijk, “You sensed the danger and got there just before Haaland and stopped him scoring.”
Van Dijk, “Yes, that’s what defenders do.” 😜

It would be absolutely typical of us to be the first team this season to stop City scoring in the league after our recent awful defensive record.

Think it would be more a “mutual decision” if it ever happened Sean.
Team has looked a lot better as expected. But not doing enough damage up top. Nunez?

I’m not necessarily advocating Klopp’s departure, but I just think it could now be a possibility this season. The team has only got convincing wins against Bournemouth & Rangers who aren’t currently top quality opposition. So it’s hard to see what will regalvanise this team over the season, even if it does get a result today. Yes Klopp could withstand an off season from the owners point of view. But it’s the whole feeling I’m getting at the moment with the squad, it just feels very tired and Klopp looks increasingly frustrated. He was at Dortmund for seven years. The same sort of cycle coming to an end at Liverpool?

Liverpool will no doubt rustle themselves up for today’s big game and probably dig out a performance. But as Nine says, they’ll struggle to sustain it over a season, particularly with that midfield. The goals will continue to get shipped.
And just a few words on Jurgen with his comments about City and not being able to compete with them. One may have *some* sympathy with that but then Jurgen has proved he can compete with them over recent seasons. He just strikes me as getting increasingly agitated and frustrated with it all and the club and is now sending a message to his players that they can’t compete at the top. I think Klopp leaving the club could now be a serious possibility this season. It just feels like the party’s over.

Only thing is from the viewer perspective, you can imagine all the streaming companies queuing up to take a portion of the pie, so for fans to watch all the games, they’ll have to pay subscriptions to several more companies. Or buy more expensive match day passes just for one game. So you could imagine the underground streaming will continue.

It’s not just the defence Nine, the midfield has been woeful at protecting them this season.

Diaz out until December is a huge blow – he was one of the few positives this season. Not sure how many times Klopp can keep “jump starting” this team to try and go again with all these mistakes they’re making defensively. It’s going to be a long season.
I struggle to see the top 4 teams changing now with City, Arsenal, Spurs & Chelsea all looking fairly secure.
Gerrard almost seems to be at the stage where Ole was at Utd where he’s limping on, but the end can’t be far away now.

Spot on Sean. I saw some of this coming this season, but I didn’t think the decline would start this quickly. There are still glimpses and signs here and there of the way we used to play as Nine said. But in all areas of the pitch, bar the goalkeeper maybe, we have issues that have coalesced that are just too much for Klopp’s magic to overcome, though I think the midfield is at the root of them and that’s where my pre-season concerns always were. As I said on TT, I just don’t get why, after we were clearly willing to spend a bit on Tchouameni in the summer, we didn’t seem to pursue another midfielder…until we panicked at the last minute. And brought in Melo…who’s now injured for up to 3 months apparently. We’ve got to be better than that for a club of our stature.

Lucky, wouldn’t surprise me to see Lampard last the season now. The Everton fans have really bonded to him.

Several things Banjo. The attack has had to adjust to Nunez but isn’t actually performing that badly though Salah won’t get the same goals he did before. The midfield is aging and is in decline, and our emergency signing is now out apparently for 3 months. And the defence is performing poorly to boot. We look like a mid table side, albeit an exciting one.
