Liverpool vs Tottenham, Wednesday 16 Dec 2020, 8.00pm Amazon Prime

Is this the biggest game of the season of the season so far? Probably. No doubt Tottenham are in good form; they're set up as a typical Mourinho side, minimising opportunities for the opposition and relying on Kane and Son to do something at the other end. And it's been working. Son in particular has been performing as well as anyone in the league so it's probably going to be one of our most difficult games this season. If it follows the pattern of last season's game, I'd take it.

Despite our plethora of victories by one goal last year, this was one which should have been for more comfortable than the final 2-1 result. Still, it reflected this side that Klopp’s built; despite an early setback, we pummelled them and pummelled them until they wilted and our captain stepped up with the equaliser before Salah converted the winner.

Given the way this season has gone, and with the Palace game at 12.30pm on Saturday and in particular, the way Mourinho will set up, we’re going to need all of what we showed last season. I can see it being frustrating, not only in terms of the lack of space and opportunities Tottenham will try and deny us but also the classic Mourinho shithousery that will no doubt be at play from the first minute. I mean Tottenham were pretty adept at that under Pochettino anyway, so it's been no problem for Mourinho to add a little of his flourish to an already well oiled machine.

I suppose with Jota out, it makes Klopp’s decision who to play up front easier, you know, the one which has been half decent over the past three and a half years so. In particular, despite getting back to his brilliant self against Wolves after a couple of so-so performances (we can let him off for that after a four years of awesomeness, I think), Mane hasn’t scored for a while and it’d be nice for him get back on the scoresheet, something like his performance in 2017 wouldn’t go amiss:

The other thing that's going be welcome will be having the fans back. Against Wolves the difference was immediate and it’s going to be so important on Wednesday as well, it’s exactly the type of game where we can make a massive difference. Whoever is going on Wednesday, I hope you enjoy it; take us clear in the league

The two teams are coming out. Great to see some prominent Ged banners about.

Jose would have loved to have managed us.

A minutes's applaud, to the men responsible for modernising LFC. RIP Ged.

1 An early corner for Liverpool, comes to nothing.

3 We are looking to move the ball really quickly, noticeable how quick the ball is tonight.

How nice it is to hear Poor Scouser Tommy in the ground again.

4 First time Spurs have really had the ball, but we manage to regain control and come away with the ball.

BobPaisley3 · « **Reply #12 on:** December 16, 2020, 08:06:34 pm »

Clear pattern emerging already.

Neat interception by Gini to put the brakes on a potential counter

jillcwhomever · « **Reply #14 on:** December 16, 2020, 08:07:10 pm »

6 Spurs have everyone back, when we have the ball the bus is well and truly parked. Curtis has been very involved in the early stages.

jillcwhomever · « **Reply #15 on:** December 16, 2020, 08:08:58 pm »

8 On the few occasions Spurs have approached our box, we have been very quick with the interventions so far.

Groundskeeper Willie · « **Reply #16 on:** December 16, 2020, 08:10:16 pm »

Spurs back line is really deep. Anyone surprised?

jillcwhomever · « **Reply #17 on:** December 16, 2020, 08:10:33 pm »

9 Yet again, the captain nicking the ball after Spurs get hold of it. Then we get a free kick for a foul on Gini.

Rush 82 · « **Reply #18 on:** December 16, 2020, 08:10:56 pm »

Very calm by Rhys to clear the ball in front of an onrushing Kane

10 Freekick goes in Robbo floats the ball into the box Bobby gets his head to it, but maybe thought he was offside. Didn't get a good connection.

jillcwhomever · « **Reply #21 on:** December 16, 2020, 08:13:15 pm »

12 We are starting to dominate the match, Spurs almost have a bank of six defending. We are going to have to keep moving the ball around.

jillcwhomever · « **Reply #22 on:** December 16, 2020, 08:15:04 pm »

14 We are really quick to get our challenges in the moment Spurs get any possession, the captain once again nicking the ball. Then we go on a quick counter which ends in a corner. Corner goes in short, but its cleared.

jillcwhomever · « **Reply #23 on:** December 16, 2020, 08:15:57 pm »

15 A very close call that, as Sadio goes on a mazy run.

Over to Jake.

15 - Not much by the way of open expansive play but we're not being dominated

TAA mops up nicely as Burgerwine goes on a run

17 You should all get a free trial of Prime really. Ally McCoist is easily the best commentator going. Not much happening on the pitch for me to describe.

Handball on Dier earlier.

18 Fab with a long ball to Salah but hes crowded out in the box

Spurs counter, Kane lines up a shot

TAA tackle, corner

Looked a handball on Dier as he went up with Salah but seems VAR doesn't think so

19 Rhys heads it away and Spurs come again but its out for a GK

jillcwhomever · « **Reply #31 on:** December 16, 2020, 08:20:37 pm »

It’s taken them 18 minutes to create anything and that came off an arm.

21 Spurs try a long range shot but its seen over by Ali.

Just seen the Dier handball again. Hit his tshirt. Ive seen 'em given (usually against us ha)

22 Robbo amazing run, power down the left. Finds Salah unmarked in the box, straight at Lloris

jillcwhomever · « **Reply #36 on:** December 16, 2020, 08:23:42 pm »

Great ball from Hendo to start off that move. Nothing is going for Sadio at the moment.

Narwin Dunez · « **Reply #37 on:** December 16, 2020, 08:24:01 pm »

23 We attack a bit, it falls to Gini on edge of box but instead of shooting he lays to it Salah who hits a Spurs player with his shot. Spurs attack but we mop up again

Groundskeeper Willie · « **Reply #38 on:** December 16, 2020, 08:24:10 pm »

First goal feels important. This far, we´ve deserved one.

Narwin Dunez · « **Reply #39 on:** December 16, 2020, 08:25:31 pm »

24 We attack again, Hendo really can't bloody cross can he. Always looped high and easy to clean up. They do. We still attack in waves.

Every time it falls to Gini he breaks up our attack
