Aha, Will Unwin’s match report is with us…
…which means we’re done here. Thanks all for your company and comments, sorry I couldn’t use them all. Enjoy the rest of the weekend, and peace out.
“The headlines will be all about Spurs, rightly,” begins Kári Tulinius, “but this was a bad performance from Liverpool, especially in attack. I don’t think a single attacker made the right decision in the second half, they shot in bad situations, and passed the ball when the shot was on. Slot needs to calm his team down, they’re so anxious. The difference from last year is striking.”
I agree that the decision-making was poor, but I think it’s the lack of cohesion and imagination which is most damning. In the maelstrom of the moment, players will always make bad calls under pressure in, but how little clue they appear to have in possession speaks of poor preparation and low confidence.
