See confused manager ooo.

Took off Mac Allister for Konate against unimpressed spurs.

Jones was left on the field for 90 mins with no meaningful impact.

How can an experienced manager deliberately open his midfield for his opponent to get the better of him.

You opened your right back (took off Bradley) to create chances but one of your best performing strikers (Gakpo) was taken off.

You are playing a lower division team in your next game which gives you the chance to rest your senior players why can't you play your full squad to win this first leg so as to give your team an advantage against the second leg.

Now, you have more games to play (FA cup, premier league, champions league and capital one cup) in the next couples of months. All your best players will have to play continuously to keep your team atop. What if fatigue set in?

Slot no get sense at all!
I thought it was only Arteta wey no get sense...Una go whine tire! It's being served round, E go reach everybody grin

As a Newcastle United fan, I am predicting the 2nd leg to end draw so that beating Spursy Spurs will be easy for us in the final.

What is happening with Liverpool?

Hope say we are not going down like this?
The goal is hydrocarbons exploration.

But don't worry, they will win their next match.

The next 2 games are key . He needs MC Alister and some key players fit...reason the squad selection.
crazygod:
Be like say Jones get some dirty pictures of Arne Slot and he is threatening to expose them. I don't see why you remove Macca and leave Jones wey dey slow down game. He had no reason to be there for 90mins.
Then another thing I am noticing, it seems like last season is repeating itself again.
Slot better get his acts together.

The weather also had its toll on the match besides low performance.

Actually Man Utd game showed the weakness of this Liverpool team. Playing them aggressive football dismantle them

Man Utd showed that
Tottenham played them same way and won. They don't deserve a gentleman football but aggressive tight football

To me, Liverpool needs to bench Becker because the man is old, like tonight goal was so cheap for him, going down is now difficult for him likewise Man united first goal after Anold errors, which the he should have keep out of goal which Keller could not conceive such, I appreciate Becker alot, he has really tried but he should Keller, check and see after after his returns of goals he has conceived so far compare to when Keller was in charged
kelleher the young one is alot more worse ..

keller would never have kept out the martinez goal .. Allison could've kept out that goal i agree but he was just being lazy and misread the situation ..


i dont know if that georgian keeper is any better mardmasvdhii or whatever his name is

What happened to Harvey Elliot, Trey Nyoni? I hope you are aware that the scorer of Spurs goal is an 18year old.
When Klopp was in charge, he gave chance to academy players like Elliot, Bobby Clarkson, Stefan Bajcetic and even Jones.
Slot will run this senior players to the ground. It's not the defeat the vexes me it's the fact that we lost to a makeshift 3rd defence of spurs with our senior players.
Salah needs rest. Allison is not in form. Jones is a squad player no matter how you slice it.

Hmmmm... We played quite well. Had some good shots on target.
It's quite terrible how the goal was scored because Tsimikas who was supposed to be defending that pass was still off the field when the person that fouled him should have bn red carded.
No problem.. We will settle it at Anfield next month.

2 second loss this season
Spurs no be small team sef... no one is guaranteed a spot in the final... but spurs have the edge now

Bergvall should have seen red but instead ref allowed him and he scored for Spurs. Poor officiating. Both sides didn’t play much
The reason why he wasn't given the 2nd yellow was because the ref realised that the first tackle against Luiz dint deserve a yellow card

lol.. u might be right.
That even reminds me, it was man UTD that caused us the title last season. After we drew them, we were beaten at home 2times by Atalanta and crystal palace and also away by Everton.
But thank God we played them early this time. We will get out of the rut.
However, we played quite well in this game. The refree just decided to play a hero against us.

We will definitely settle the matter at Anfield.

If anyone would have told u that man utd will take a draw at Anfield despite u guys even taking the lead in the 2nd half ... u no go gree b4 that match, if not for maguire , it would have been a loss... football no be mathematics.... when Chelsea beat Arsenal at Highbury in the champions league back in 04, nobody believe am... they defeated Chelsea home and away that same season in the league, beat them in FA Cup, Chelsea escaped with a draw at Stamford bridge in the first leg , Arsenal took the lead at Highbury in the second leg , only to end up loosing... that was the season Arsenal even went unbeaten , that shows u how powerful they were that season and that was chelsea first win against Arsenal in over 5 yrs in any competition... same season they knocked out inter Milan 5.1 at San siro... football no be mathematics and spurs no be Southampton... spurs defeated City 4.1 at the etihad this season....

I think I prefer Kelleher for now because he was able to keep clean sheets against Leverkusen,Madrid, Man city, Leipzig,Aston villa and did well against Arsenal, Brighton, Southampton etc.
He is better for now

well spoken. First of, we never took the lead against Man United at Anfield. Man utd scored first.
Secondly, Spurr has never defeated us in any cup competition. Champions league, FA cup, Carabo cup , NONE!
We always beat them when it mattered most. If u evaluate
With what Liverpool has done this season, their performance and the teams they have defeated so far this season, you will know they have what it takes to turn it around in second leg
Re: Tottenham Hotspur Vs Liverpool: EFL Cup (1 - 0) - On 8th January 2025 by Alsenora: 8:28am On Jan 09, 2025
We are saying same thing. The only difference is our view of Slot's selection. He can't always make decisions we fans will like or understand especially if result aren't cool.

When salah scored the penalty, it was 2.1 .... Amad equalised for united to make it 2.2 ... that's by the way... u said spurs have never defeated u guys in any competition, but they did that for the first time last night.. that's football for u .. and they don't even need to defeat u guy in the second leg to qualify .... a draw is fine for them

Hopefully you guys get out of the rut because once teams decode the pattern of the team at the top, it affects the team.

Man City and Arsenal are locking by the corner too. Chelsea are still young and inexperienced.
But this season will be very tight

I don't see you standing a chance against us in the second leg
