I was going to write an article last week, about the effects of Europa League and guess what ...it's exactly what happened in this game!
Truly we can't cope with Thursday matches
We need to revise our tactics.
The effect of playing 43 matches, more than other team is also in evidence.
Erik Lamela I'm sorry, but he is just awful and I don't know what kind of dark magic he's using to force Poch to play him for 90mins every game
Too many better teams chasing those top 4 places.
You might beat the Saints in getting a Europa place.
Top Four is going to be very difficult now
======================
As I said it before, top 4 is not the aim this season. This is a season to build upon.
If we get it, its a bonus.
We should try to get a trophy though
How is europa so bad i don't buy it. its an easy ready made excuse which lets the players have a reason not to put in 100% effort. If a midweek game at home in the europa is so bad, then we shouldn't be able to cope with Fa cup/capital one cup games that are midweek as well?
Will be tough to get top 4, I've said it all season. The cup final is more important than the game on Thursday IMO so if I had to choose I'd prefer us to go all out for it.

Spurs have had the ref in the back pocket all season. It never was a pen and where did 5 mins come from? jammy caants. Been riding your luck all season.
Genuinely don't think we were that bad. Nowhere near as bad as those terrible West Brom/Newcastle defeats earlier in the season.
West Ham are a good team and played brilliantly.
Thursday IMO so if I had to choose I'd prefer us to go all out for it.
===============
Not if you CL can be achieved through Europa
Makes you wonder why Liverpool fans come here, with big pretentious words?
Do Liverpool fans think the Saints game is already in the bag

Whereas Welbeck getting fouled outside the box is a pen?

Hey m0r0n, you're describing your team against palace and Leicester, you plank
Even Arsene admitted Palace deserved a draw and so did Liecester

Bitter or what. Did you see your shower of shitte pull of the biggest robbery since 1963 at Selhurst yesterday with the refs help.
MOTD said it was a pen actually you douche. We actually dominated the game against Palace yesterday and had chances to go 3-0 up similar to Leicester game. Just switched off last 20 mins.
I can think of several games this season where Spurs were jammy. West Ham away, Hull away, Swansea away, Villa away, Everton at home, probably missed more out. Everyone knows you're in a false position and should have 8-10 points less then you actually do. Why does everyone seem to hate Spurs for

We'll make a DVD of Spurs beating Mourinho's chelsea and then send it onto Wenger so he can watch and learn
Everyone has games like that from time to time. Poch will see you right though

There hasn't been a Liverpool fan comment on this article, up until now .
Haha awww truth hurt you bunch of chaaaavs. Deleting my comments too because you can't face the fact. Good luck holding onto 7th place and holding onto Harry kane. We all know how much Levy loves making a profit.

Christ no. I'd bite your arm off for a point.
After the NLD, Spurs were ahead of Arsenal
2 games later, we are 4 points ahead
First of all West Ham were excellent (Pains me to say)
They closed us down all over the pitch and Valencia gave a fantastic display at cf. At the back Winston Reid showed why he is in such demand (hope we get him in the summer).
The first 15 we dominated and we were superb, Kane so unlucky to hit the post and Bentaleb coming close twice, we lost our fluency and width, too many players coming inside trying fancy flicks that never came off.
Yet again our defence lets us down Dier and Vertonghen getting caught out for the first goal and then Rose trying to play offside instead of clearing first.
Lloris was uncharacteristically shaky, mason was sloppy in possesion and Lamela and Townsend brainless.
Even though we were lucky with the pen overall if you look at the bigger picture, a draw was a fair result on chances by both teams.
We need to keep the faith, we have fantastic passion and skill at times but we are naive with our decision making.
I know 3rd and 4th is wide open but cup games shoud be of greater importance. Its a big ask of the squad but we MUST play our strongest available side for Fiorentina away and for the cup final.
