    I feel less worried about games like this than ones where Spurs are massive favourites

    Looks like a return of last season's 343 on attack/451 on defence tactics

    Tactics that pretty much all of us hated as they made us very predictable to play again, I seem to recall...

    How many teams have had the chance to go top in the last few days and ****ed it up? Five, maybe?

    Lucky for them that no team other than us has ever bottled anything...

    Twice Bergwijn has given the ball away cheaply

    I’m a bit baffled by the formation.

    is sissoko playing on the right and Son up top, in a 442?!

    Not really keen on this 442 formation. Sissoko’s been having a great season alongside Hojbjerg at CM so why alter his position? And if you’re gonna play 442, it’s even more bemusing not to have another striker on the bench...

    ahh so it is 442.

    I don’t get it either.
    Liverpool aren’t at full strength at the back, but it feels like we’re set up in a way that’s going to hamper us from taking advantage of this. we already look a bit over run.

    Does that Aurier cross count as a shot? It's about as close as we're getting in this half, by the looks of it.

    I thought it was a shot. I thought he was trying to catch the keeper out.

    At a guess, Sissoko's on the right to keep Robertson quiet, which also means Aurier can play the free role down the right

    You know, the free role that routinely drove us insane last season...

    I can understand going away to Liverpool and parking the bus, but it doesn’t really feel like we’re doing that. I can’t work out what the plan is.
    It doesn’t feel like we’re particularly well set up to counter either.

    Indeed, there is no way out.

    I can't see why we've picked this system and Lo Celso. It virtually nullifies his game.

    1-0. Salah deflection. Jammy ****ers, but we've invited it.
