    I think if we're honest, most of us, while trying to err on the side of caution before the game, felt we could beat Spurs by quite a few today if we played to the level we expect from this team.

    Spurs have their injuries, but you can only beat what's in front of you.

    Interesting from Slot. He seems a lot more Rafa in how he interacts sometimes, 6-3 but still disappointing how players switched off for 15 minutes and calling them out on it.

    Liverpool boss Arne Slot to BBC Sport:
    "For 60 minutes we did everything we had to do, we were comfortable and good with the ball. The main thing is we worked very, very hard. But then the same players with the same quality thought that 10 or 15 minutes of not working as hard was good enough.
    “Tottenam have enough quality to score goals if you give them chances. You have to be on top of your game for the whole game and we didn’t do that.”

    I said to mates the other day I could see any scoreline and result. I knew we’d score, at least 1 or 2 just depended on how clinical we were and when Salah missed those earlier chances thought was going to be one of those days.

    But we know spurs will score goals because they fly forward constantly. Even at 5-2, 5-3, it didn’t feel super comfortable.

    Spurs are not the same team when they have to play 10 or more players, the ref isn't bent, and there's no golf on the telly to distract the VAR team, are they? :emoticon-0143-smirk

    In fairness at 5-1 if you meant rest a player something is wrong.

    Why not stick Endo on rather than jones.

    Roll on boxing day now


    We have laid a marker down there fore 40 mind and 20mins. We absolutely bossed spurs when we wanted to.

    Have to win all 3 given their respective form

    We are 1 point to the magic 40. Can then start thinking about getting to 70 which looks to be easily enough for top 4 this year.

    How quick we hit 70 dictates what other things we can start thinking about.

    Next up is turkey and pudding them onto stuffing Leicester.

    That first half was sensational tbh, we were sublime.

    Frustrating to concede a few but glad Slot addressed that in his interviews, he demands the best of ourselves at all times.

    I could mention everyone tbh but I’m gonna pick out Szob, what an engine that lad has, hope it lasts a little longer than last season.

    The great thing was szoboszlai got a goal and an assist. That's the return as the 10 he needs

    When we pinned them in we were 235 as slot wants that pushes szoboszlai and macallister on and they got the return today.

    Gomez and vvd cleaned up most of the time but gravenberch was again just a rolls royce.

    Salah 2 goals and 2 assists takes the headlines and neville still wouldn't give him motm.

    Diaz did fine and scored 2 but gave thr ball away several times as well so the bitterness in carragher and neville is real.

    Salah wasn’t great today. Missed couple chances in first half. Think he only made 3 passes in first half 1 being the szobo goal.

    2nd half he didn’t do anything in the build up really. Spence defended against him really well, just scored 2 tap ins. Diaz had a much better game imo.

    Gomez szobo and grav were prob my motm though
