So with never ending talk of Brendan's future, I was thinking what was our best game under him? Where we absolutely smashed the opposition and were totally dominant.
For me it would be the 5-0 thrashing of spurs 2 seasons ago. The 3-0 away united performance runs it close but that day at white Hart lane was exceptional. Plus I loved flanno's goal and celebration.
What do you guys think.

5-1 arsenal game. Spurs doesn't come close.
2.) 25 Sep 2015 08:38:46
The arsenal game.
We have probably played some of the best football in my lifetime under Brendan, such a shame it ended up like this.
3.) 25 Sep 2015 08:39:19
what about the 5-1 hammering to Arsenal? That was a really good game, the way we played through out from start to finish was the way we should play every single game. 2 man marking, pressing constantly. Arsenal didn't have an answer and you don't say that often, also they wouldn't of scored if it wasn't for a penalty.
4.) 25 Sep 2015 08:57:49
Arsenal was sheer joy to watch, Suarez hit the post, Sturridge missed couple of sitters, Yet we scored 5 aginst them.
Spurs was one of the best team performance I saw in 10 years. We got that perfectly. For all those who cry loud to play high line Spurs game was th answer, We ripped their High line defense into pieces.
{Ed001's Note - sorry but one game against a poorly organised high line is not proof the high line does not work. Perhaps you might want to check out a couple of clubs you might have never heard of judging by that comment, who have a modicum of success in recent years playing the high line. I would suggest starting with Barcelona and Bayern Munich.}

Arsenal
6.) 25 Sep 2015 09:12:18
That was never my actual point, To play a high line you need pacy CB. We are not blessed with that at least for the moment except Sakho. And Its not a crime in real world not to play a high line.
7.) 25 Sep 2015 09:34:29
The 1st half against arsenal was the best I have seen in ages. In fact the best since I started supporting the club. But I thought we released the foot of the gas pedal a bit later in the second half.
8.) 25 Sep 2015 09:37:18
Arsenal no doubt. They were top of the league thta time which made it even better. I remember messing up with the time and tuning i'm an hour late to see the score at 4-0. Shame how it's turned out post that season
9.) 25 Sep 2015 09:46:07
Ilori has serious pace. Someone loaned him out though. Sakho and Ilori would have been a perfect pair for a high line. Gomez has pace to burn also. Unfortunately Skrtel is the first name on the team sheet under this person.
10.) 25 Sep 2015 09:49:21
Except we had Sakho, Ilori and Gomez at the start of the season EG.
{Ed001's Note - and you don't necessarily need them if your keeper is not cowering on his line but holds a high starting position and sweeps up as Clem and Grob did all those years ago.}
11.) 25 Sep 2015 10:18:31
Totally agree with your sweeper keeper point
12.) 25 Sep 2015 10:46:16
And Reina Ed. I may be biased because he was about in my lifetime, but Reina is one of the most complete 'keepers I've seen and had it not been for Casillas he would be remembered as such for Spain. Shame how that ended too.
{Ed001's Note - actually that is a good point, he was a very good sweeper, as was Westerveld to be fair. Sander Westerveld's kicking was pinpoint, I can remember a game against Leeds with Titi Camara up front and he put it right on his chest time and again.}
13.) 25 Sep 2015 10:52:15
Everton 4-0
14.) 25 Sep 2015 11:52:06
You don't necessarily need quick centre backs when playing a high line. If you're relying on pace, then guess what? You've already made a mistake and you're in recovery mode.
It's all about positioning and the ability to read the game. If the players in front of you are performing their tasks, then you should have a clear of picture of what's in front of you, and what players are trying to break the lines to get in behind you. Pace is great but not a necessity.
15.) 25 Sep 2015 11:54:59
It's a shame what's happened to Reina, used to be definitely be in the top 5 keepers of the world. Had excellent shot stopping abilitiy, and his distribution and command of the box (from what I remember) was great. Migs comes nowhere near.
16.) 25 Sep 2015 12:23:05
Man City - 3-2
Best game of football to watch and i had to change my shirt afterwards for the fact it was full of sweat - It was nice to think we always had a chance of winning that season
17.) 25 Sep 2015 12:47:55
For me personally it has to be the 2-1 win at Anfield last season over Manchester City. Mainly because i was sat in the KOP, it was my first ever league game, and Henderson and Coutinho both scored absolute screamers.
Best performance though for me has to be Spurs away 5-0. Great goals, clean sheet, complete domination. All in Spurs own back yard.
Beating Arsenal 5-1 at home isn't as impressive for me. Not to mention we were actually pretty wasteful for 70 minutes of the game. Don't forget 4 of the goals came in the first 20 minutes.
18.) 25 Sep 2015 12:53:43
Man City 3-2 was not enjoyable, very nerve wracking and we were blown away in the second half
19.) 25 Sep 2015 14:50:46
Guess who changed the game for them. Milner.
20.) 25 Sep 2015 15:59:55
Nick, I agree Milner changed it with some excellent, clever positioning, but Silva turned that game on it's head as soon as he went into Beast Mode.
21.) 26 Sep 2015 04:53:10
From the bench. A backup is a backup is a backup
18 Aug 2015 10:54:14
3 points!!! Woohoo
I thought benteke was great last night. His touches to bring Ibe and coutinho into play were good as were his knockdowns from mignolet's kicks. Could have easily scored a hattrick, he made a chest down in the box in the second half and the ball just got away from him. Plus in the last 20 minutes when we were under pressure, he brought the party tricks out. Happy for the big guy.
Mignolet again for me was indecisive about coming out or staying put. The disallowed goal, he was hesitating to come forward and was looking awkward. Then in the second half, for a corner where Tomlin got his head to it, mignolet was stranded.
The Moreno substitution looked really weird to me. But apart from the awful freekick, I thought he was superb. Running at defenders, getting back to defend, drawing fouls, he did them all. In fact within the first 1 minute when he came on, he had been budled out over the touch line, won a header and tackle and ran a little with the ball.
All in all, a little better than the stoke game but no where near to going-away-to-arsenal-winning performance.
09 Aug 2015 13:24:48
I am going for a 2-2 today. Crouch and Walters for stoke and Benteke and Ibe for Liverpool.
1.) 09 Aug 2015 13:55:10
I think 2-2 also
2.) 09 Aug 2015 14:16:58
2-1 benteke and firmino
3.) 09 Aug 2015 14:49:08
Revenge today boys and girls, and in a clinical way.
There's even more an inventive than revenge and three points, as the big teams have slipped up already, albeit prematurely in the season, but still gell short.
22 Mar 2015 17:14:48
Oh well, Europa league it is then.
No it isn't. We still have arsenal to play and united also have arsenal and city to play. Anything can happen.
But we were poor today and did not deserve any points just like we did not deserve any against Swansea.
Chin up kopites, hopefully we can regroup and play the high intensity and attacking footy for the last 8 games and hope for the best.
1.) 22 Mar 2015 18:58:22
That's the spirit. Nothing is done and dusted yet. Plenty to play for and it takes one good result for us and one bad result for our rivals to change everything. Also, Utd play Chelsea. We go again!
2.) 22 Mar 2015 20:59:41
So do you play Chelsea
19 Aug 2014 12:21:06
So the premier league has been won by teams starting their seasons on Monday night in the last 4 seasons. Well I don't want much, a top 4 position and I'll be very happy.
24 Oct 2016 21:49:32
The league is far too important. Sacrifice the cup.
25 Sep 2015 09:34:29
The 1st half against arsenal was the best I have seen in ages. In fact the best since I started supporting the club. But I thought we released the foot of the gas pedal a bit later in the second half.

I see how you addressed Ed002 as both 'he' and 'she'. Hopefully the mystery will be solved in the podcasts.
{Ed001's Note - we will have to wait and see whether it does end that mystery....}
17 Aug 2015 06:58:18
That's okay Ed, almost everyone hates their own voice.
{Ed001's Note - if only that was true, but I have yet to meet a woman who doesn't love to hear their own voice nagging away.....}
