Look how high Sktel and the back 4 were there! He's gonna get a nosebleed.

thegoodfella · « **Reply #7 on:** October 17, 2015, 12:48:16 pm »

2' Throw in Liverpool, Milner takes it, possession given away.

Spurs pass it around at the back and regroup.

Chakan · « **Reply #8 on:** October 17, 2015, 12:49:27 pm »

I know it's only 5 minutes in but we look full of energy!

thegoodfella · « **Reply #9 on:** October 17, 2015, 12:50:24 pm »

3' Origi off side there, he is hanging there on the shoulders it seems.

Spurs break forward, pass left, cross coming here, cleared.

Lucas clears and Milner is away, good move down right, corner.

Lallana off after 40 mins after all the running he will do haha

thegoodfella · « **Reply #11 on:** October 17, 2015, 12:52:29 pm »

Thanks for the bold edit there, keep it coming mate.

6' Lallana wins another corner, good one, just cleared, Lucas sets Milner on his way on right, cross, two go for it, cleared.

This is mad.

What a touch from Can there. Big header from Moreno made Cou have to work to keep it in play to avoid the throw. He did that by knocking it over his shoulder for Can to back heel volly sideways the ball back to him.

I think our start has kept them quiet too!

Chakan · « **Reply #15 on:** October 17, 2015, 12:54:55 pm »

Whatever the result this first 10 minutes has given me a big smile. Liverpool are pressing, closing down , and we look well, slick for want of a better word.

thegoodfella · « **Reply #17 on:** October 17, 2015, 12:56:23 pm »

9' Injury there for Chadli.

Another corner, Milner with a good one, off the bar, deflected by Origi, how did that not go in.

L666KOP · « **Reply #18 on:** October 17, 2015, 12:57:09 pm »

It's painful listening to him but Owen's just nailed it.

"It's nice to see Liverpool go forward as soon as they get the ball, no messing about with possession."

Oddball · « **Reply #19 on:** October 17, 2015, 12:57:59 pm »

Can must have a back heel clause in his contract as thats 2 now. Lays it off and went bombing forward.

thegoodfella · « **Reply #20 on:** October 17, 2015, 12:58:01 pm »

11' Early Spurs sub: Injured Chadli is off.

Milner down right is actually working well here, Moreno pushed by Lamela, foul.

N'Jie has replaced him.

Count how many times Mignolet has touched the ball. By my count it's 0 at the moment. We aren't stuffing around with the ball at the back passing it between center backs and then back to Mignolet to hoof it to no-one in particular. It's fantastic.

thegoodfella · « **Reply #23 on:** October 17, 2015, 12:59:50 pm »

13' I'm certainly enjoying the passing and movement here.

Good possession here, pushing it forward, back and then forward again, Lallana with a hit, straight at the keeper.

Can definitely see that we're pressing with purpose

The last 2 mins Spurs looking like they are playing at 0.8 of our pace

Great to see isnt it and this could work to our favour. By that I mean, people have said Klopp knackered out his players, hence his last season...well he has come in a quarter of a way through the season and is only now putting the players through his paces. Come the end of the season we could be the team with a lot left in out tanks fitness wise...time will tell.

Just the one after a couple of mins that he kicked out of play...make that 2 haha.

15' Another throw in, more Liverpool possession, can see the pressing here.

L666KOP · « **Reply #27 on:** October 17, 2015, 01:01:48 pm »

16 Pressing pressing pressing.
Lucas pressing 10 yards outside the Spurs area, whilst Spurs have got the ball!!
It really is like night and day.

L666KOP · « **Reply #28 on:** October 17, 2015, 01:03:09 pm »

17 Spurs FK near byline, headed clear easily. Milner looks like the player City had last season now he's out wide.

Chakan · « **Reply #29 on:** October 17, 2015, 01:04:45 pm »

I think the mandate by Klopp would have been score in the first 25 minutes and then take a break from pressing. Truth be told Origi should have done better with his chance, the difference between a Sturridge/Benteke and Origi.

L666KOP · « **Reply #30 on:** October 17, 2015, 01:05:45 pm »

20 We're definitley 'hunting' the ball down, Spurs foray into our area, again cleared.

That was dangerous how we switched off for a couple of seconds from a simple throw in. Lucky it came to nothing.

Chakan · « **Reply #32 on:** October 17, 2015, 01:06:42 pm »

"Liverpool stepped up and caught Kane offside"

When was the last time we did that?

We have got to make it count while we're on top mate.

Agree Sol, you wonder how we'll fare as the game wears on.

L666KOP · « **Reply #34 on:** October 17, 2015, 01:09:39 pm »

24 Spurs coming into the game more now. We certainly look more 'crisp' in our game though.

Oddball · « **Reply #35 on:** October 17, 2015, 01:10:25 pm »

Clyne instead of putting it out for a throw, used his left to hack at the ball and ended up playing it inside for Spurs to attack. Lets hope defensive mistakes dont bite us.

Absolutely no doubt that our pressing is putting Spurs off their game - when they do get ball they don't know what to do with it

Agreed and as Sol pointed out, we need to make it count while we are on top.

L666KOP · « **Reply #37 on:** October 17, 2015, 01:11:21 pm »

26 Not a great deal happening, just lots of winning and losing of the ball in the middle third.

L666KOP · « **Reply #38 on:** October 17, 2015, 01:14:27 pm »

28 Lallana comes deep for the ball, him and Skrtel get into a mess and lose the ball. It's fed to N'Jie who hits it well with the outside of his foot and Migs pulls off a great save,

L666KOP · « **Reply #39 on:** October 17, 2015, 01:15:29 pm »

29 Corner comes to nothing. Spurs knocking on the door now.
