🤫 we don't talk about those managers. Or Conte or Nuno.

@Jaq__W @coys @spurs

@hallenbeck @Jaq__W @coys @spurs Yes indeed! Both teams are good to watch much more often than not. (Let's not talk about Hodgson or Mourinho!)

@Jaq__W

Spurs and Liverpool cut from the same cloth. "Swashbuckling" I think they call it these days. ☠️😁

@mike @hallenbeck @coys @spurs
Same here. There are a few other teams I've admired/enjoyed over the years (I'm old!) and I used to love when Spurs came to Anfield, back in the Steve Perryman days!

@hallenbeck @coys @spurs Unrelated: it's nice having a non-#LFC football fan in my Footy Mastodon network.

@ravipatel

Liverpool are indeed very good - title contenders - and Klopp had a plan (I need to look at the game more closely) - so there's alway an expectation (dread 😅) this Spurs team still in its infancy will struggle. Ange keeps saying bumps and wobbles will come.

I think the red card ruined the game. No way to judge where either team truly is. The number of fouls and cards were indicative of the unrelenting pressure we develop against teams, which leads to mistakes.

@spurs @coys

@hallenbeck @spurs @coys The they never stop narrative is over blown in this instance. Ultimately a lucky break with the own goal got the win against nine men.

Not sure if it was the Reds being so good, but I honestly expected a far more convincing performance from Spurs yesterday.

@hallenbeck @spurs @coys

goading players into a response without being shitkickers like Dyche is fair play!

We had five seasons in a row of being top of the Fair Play table, then second, and sixth last horrible no good very bad season. One hopes that the Norns haven't decided we've been too nice and need to be taught a lesson

@hallenbeck @spurs @coys for sure Jota should have, you're 💯 right about that.

I'm gonna drop an amusing game clip but I won't force you to watch it by putting it here.

@pacanukeha

I'll have to rewatch that, but I think there was contact. Klopp's reaction to Jota coming off spoke volumes: he was furious with him. Don't forget Udogie managed being on a soft yellow almost the whole of the NLD against Saka in the most high pressure situation. And he's only 20. Jota shoulda been able to manage himself better.

Ange's style of play puts relentless pressure on opponents, ramps up frustrations, draws fouls - it's something players need to cope with.

@spurs @coys

@hallenbeck @spurs @coys given that diogo was on a yellow, a second yellow is a red. there's no VAR for that. but the first yellow was a no contact dive and appeal, your fella should have been given the card ¯⁠\⁠⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠⁠/⁠¯

@hallenbeck @spurs @coys
As a liverpool fan, I am bummed out by the curtis red but the first time I saw the reply I was like, "Ooh, lucky it wasn't a red". But then I remembered VAR was a thing.

1. Lemmy will only use the first tag in your post. This is to prevent spamming.
2. Any other tags, such as users etc, will still work fine.
3. I don't think lemmy created that "board"("community" in lemmy lingo) just because of your post. I think it recognised or had already recognised the spurs group and tried to synchronise with it after your post like it would with any other group/community. I'm not sure how well generic groups work with lemmy right now though.
