Looks like missing the buy of Jorginho is hurting them.

Pep thinks Stones is VVD. Play at No.6 ?????

Spurs squad is very thin.
Now that they have qualified for the 1ast 16 in the CL, let's see how this squad will manage the fatique levels of the players. Think they also had the most players in the WC.

Our depth at the back is worse?

RB- TAA, Clyne, Gomez, Milner,

CH- Gomez, VVD, Matip, Lovren, Fab, Phillips,

LB- Robbo, Moreno, FAb


Spuds

Kieran Trippier
Danny Rose
Toby Alderweireld
Jan Vertonghen
Davinson Sanchez

Juan Foyth
Serge Aurier
Ben Davies
Kyle Walker-Peters
Cameron Carter-Vickers

wonder who owns the goal line tech? The Arabs? hehe

WAs he not in the game vs Napoli?

Useless……?

Hey

You cannot blame him for performing as such IF those were the instructions from the boss???

It seems Klopp took a very pragmatic approach to the game. Those 3 would normally fight like tigers for the ball. But notice in the 1st half, they were happy to stay off the ball.

Exactly. However, from the playing style of the midfield, it seems they were not pressing. Just keeping their zone secured.
This is in comparison to last year's CL matches where we pressed the hell out of them

My grouse is Klopp was TOO respectful. The City defense could have been got at. It's not tight. Especially with Kompany and LaPorte at LB

Kieta and Fabino are different players from Hendo. Playing this miserable MF of Hendo, Gini and Milner is to be miserly with the space in front of the defence. These 3 will not venture too far forward willingly.

11 mm...…...difference that could have been 1-0 to us.

Kompany's tackle......last man and dangerous. Should have been off for two types of fouls!

Don't forget the additions to the defence, Alisson and VVD. In fact, the addition of VVD in Jan 2018 already improved our stats.

However, as I mentioned, Klopp gave too much respect to City. You have attack City to have some sort of result. Ask Wolves, Palace and Leicester

Yeah

Its Jan and its better to be 4 points ahead at the top of the pile than to be 4 points behind. Still good!

Oh...didn't know that the FA cup is part of the PL title challenge!

3 youngsters. teenagers to be exact.

Exactly.
What has winning the FA cup got to do with the PL title?

Cannot say whether hunger was lacking.

BUt, the team effort looked very uncoordinated in attacks especially. i thought Kieta and Shaq may perfrom better. But not. i suppose playing with a teenager in the midfeild is not easier. Origi and Stur did not support each other very well.


All in all, very bad team effort. But Wolves put in a full team. AND as we know, they are no smugs. So the teenagers especially Hoever did very well. Canacho was good. Jones, not so good.

Torben Piechnik in CB?
