Beggars belief that now the title has seemingly gone we've reverted back to playing Trent as a more traditional fullback.

It worked very well today, attacking wise it meant Salah could get in the game. More width too from Trent and meant there was always a switch on to the opposite wing (or fullback) .

After the subs we lost our way a bit. But a lot of it came from inverting Trent leaving the right flank horribly exposed. That being said both goals conceded was horrible play and very poor defending but the switch of personnel and tactics allowed Spurs a way back into the game. Not too concerned, this Spurs team have shown they can fight - they did against Arsenal.

Game management is something this team needs to get better at. I thought the midfield also had a tough time, as good as Endo has been for me, I feel we do need a world class CDM in there to compliment the talents of Mac Allister and his midfield partner (whether that be Grav, Szob or Elliot) .

Anyway, good result and an enjoyable watch. Hopefully we can win our remaining fixtures and finish on a strong points tally of 84 and give Klopp a great send off!

Agreed about the chnges but that is also understandable since the game was fast paced and it would take time for the subs to get used to it. Baj was also out for quite a while so match fitness was an issue for him. Still, I think bringing him on when we were 4-0 up was the best time we could have done so.

Spurs made good changes as well, bringing on Richarlison who always seems up for it when he plays against us. I feel that he injected a lot of energy and bite into a Spurs team that was sorely lacking it. But once our changes got the hang of the gama again, I felt it was a comfortable end to the game.

I was a bit disappointed by Nunez though. Feels like he's trying to hard now and seems to be forcing it at times. He needs to calm down a lot more because he was very poor when he came on. Got into good positions but wasted it.

Great for the most part. Fell apart when they brought their best players on. A wins a win though.

One wonders why Ange doesn't start his best players.

Ange’s best players were refereeing other games this weekend, Something.

even when we look to play well, we ship goals like nothing. Embarrassing defending. can this season just end now.

didnt have the chance to post before the spurs match but with the title probably gone now, i just hope that the last 3 matches would at least be enjoyable. and i'm glad it currently is!

with the quality TAA has, sticking him in RB and not inverting, gives us width and good deliveries. and hey, maybe the nerves are now gone and we are back to high pressing and see what it did for us - intensity, chances, goals.

i'll probably never agree with or enjoy the inverted FB thing. but regardless of formation and tactics, just play with heart, aggression and energy. it at least makes it fun.

so thanks for going back to the Klopp Liverpool.

Tierney up to his old tricks again. A Spurs player falls over and it's a free kick to them.

Best first half iv seen for a while from us . I know the pressure is off but still nice to see . I like Gakpo in this position . he looks confident n aggressive. lookin forward to 2nd half.

Mainly because we've dropped the inverted wing backs and played gakkers in his natural position. Footballs a simple game.

I see goals today against Spurs as both defences are poor at the moment.
Big VVD out to by the looks of it, so I’m going with Diaz to score and 2-2 or 3-2 the reds.
38/ 1 and 30/ 1 respectively.

The soft penalties that Arsenal and City keep being awarded is beyond a joke now.

I was watching Arsenal this morning and turned it off when they got that pen. Coote is hands down the worst ref in the league and that's saying something. Hats off to him.

Started watching City and turned that off when they got a pen. For me that was a 50-50 and nothing else. I'd like them both to lose the league but obviously that can't happen. I have to go with who i dislike the least and that for me has to be City.

Havertz has at least 1 bookable dive every single game it seems. Cheating is now considered a tactic and part and parcel of the game. I am finding the PL harder and harder to watch. If I want acting I'll watch Netflix or wresting. What football has become is such a shame.

For me, there's no coincidence that Arteta worked under Pep, and now he's the Arsenal manager and both Coty and Arsenal get these amazing decisions.
