PoP anaylsis always makes for great reading but I disagree with him regards to Gerrard and Lucas controlling the midfield. I thought they were completely dominated in midfield bar the first 20 mins and maybe after we took the lead. So, a massive middle section of the match where Spurs was in complete control of the match to the point where I simply couldn't see us getting back into the game and it was looking far more likely they would score a 3rd rather than us getting a second. It is here Spurs could have killed the game. So I completely disagree that Gerrard and Lucas controlled the match, I think they marshalled Bale well but even restricted he (Bale) got two assists.
And if Gylfi had scored instead of hitting the post it would have been 3 assists. For all the fine appraisals of the game Sturridges header into the side netting around the 70th min mark was your first attempt on goal in the second half, a brain - fart by Walker, compounded by Lloris let you back in. Without that you were heading for the same scoreline you just experienced at St. Mary's. The team were set up poorly and in all honesty the introduction of Allen made no difference, We simply defended a couple of situations poorly.
Rodgers was looking lost on the touchline. Your defending was poor and if we had Lennon, Sandro and Kaboul, three key players, the result would have been very different. Imagine your side sans Coutinho, Lucas and Agger.
