Did you know that Liverpool have featured in 10 goal-less first 45 mins, this season?
Do you think KD sets his team out too cautiously? My first thoughts on the first half last night was that both teams seemed more terrified of losing, rather than wanting to win. And judging by that stat above, is this how Liverpool have tactically been playing for most of the season?
Genuine question there - i'm not having a dig.
only one team turned up last night, spurs did nothing but park the bus and we lacked any kind of creativity to break through it.
another draw at home we should have won, same old story.

That's a joke, we came to hit you on the break which turned out to be a great tactic considering the amount of pressure you put on us from kick-off. Had Ade used the ball better we could've caused you a lot more problems. VDV would've made a huge difference too.

Have a look at the STATS from the game, neither team really did much more than the other
we lacked any kind of creativity to break through it.

Contradiction in terms.
-----------------------------------
not really, we had a few chances but they were not taken. we spent most of the game in your half doing feck all.
>>we came to hit you on the break
aka parking the bus.
there's no shame in it. You do it when you need to unless you're suicidal or beyond arrogant.
Even Wenger did it in the CL the one year they made the final. Every top manager and English club does it when needed or practical.
practical may not equal sexy but it gets the results you need if you have the quality to pull it off. You do and you did.
RRP- don't give me stats, i watched the game and spurs offered nothing but one breakout from bale, and he bottled that.

Take a bow, son. Take a bow.
