Irrefutable now. Pochettino rushing Lloris back if Gazza does not have serious mares is pure Wengeritus.
You just have to take into account that there is another team on the pitch and play can be dictated by that team. In this case we have denied them space and been in their face all game that's not wrong when you are playing such a fluid team as Liverpool.
Of course they will - hence our game plan has been magnificent. We just don't currently have a solution to their pressure. We're set up to play on the counter but are relying on hoofing the ball hoping that Kane will beat VVD or Lovren and flick it on to Son. Eriksen and Alli don't operate at all well in crowded areas and/or when under pressure. Winks usually does but he's been terrible. And so our most creative midfielder has been Sissoko. Which tells its own story. Our biggest problem is that on the rare occasion we do have possession, we aren't making it count and it comes straight back at us within moments.
We are too narrow though, Lucas (for Alli) and Sonny need to play wide. Then concentrate on attacking Loveren, he's their weak link.
Surprised Atkinson gave it as a dive to begin with, it looked like a clear penalty even on initial viewing. Stupid challenge from Chambers when we were totally in control of the game.
