What’s the fuss

You have no European football to think about and make up the numbers

We dominated you yesterday, if you really think you’re at our level you’re deluded.


----------------------------------------------------------------------

Surly spurs fans aren’t that deluded 😂

City and Pool play a way that is perfect for Contes style.
Pack defence and defend in numbers then counter at speed. Reminds me.of Benitez at Liverpool and he had lots of success with it. Problem is it's great against teams that dominate possession but not so much against the lesser teams that sit back. There lies Spurs problem. Was the same with Benitez. You improve a great deal and cup comps def become winnable but finding a solution when Spurs are the dominant team is the tricky part.

Spot on 👍

We look very good against very good attacking teams

We look clueless against teams that do what we do as a tactic to us

----------------------------------------------------------------------
I don’t think anyway thinks we are any where near liverpools level ….however you did not dominate us

We looked better than you and played a containing game ….containing and breaking will mean you have more of the ball….it’s part of the tactic

You did nothing with it though and I never felt we were really under pressure apart the pressure we put on ourselves from goal kicks

Conte has Klopp and peps number ….shame he can’t work out how to beat the lesser teams who sit back like we do to you






----------------------------------------------------------------------
Klopp’s number

You lot couldn’t even make it through the Europa conference thing.

And it’s all good having your games of the season against the best teams where you sit and break but can’t do it against other bus parkers.

Maybe that’s why your 20 points off the pace.

I think it's a bit of a stretch to say he has Klopps number after scraping a draw with anti football.

Correct…I agree ….we are clueless when the tactic is used on us

But I will stand by my take that conte knows how to set up against Klopp and pep

He hasn’t lost to them this season and beat pep twice….kind of proves my point

Yeah regarding Pep, but not Klopp given you didn’t win either game.

God, some of you Liverpool fans on here are so bitter. Anti football? You had 3 shots on target ffs 🤦‍♂️ at home and had to rely on a lucky deflection to bag a draw. You had all that play and did nothing with it. If anything, Spurs looked more likely to bag a winner and should have won it at the the end. I swear you lot expect teams to just roll over for you and when teams do give you a game in which you can’t penetrate us, you seem to be extremely offended. Happy we ended your title hopes now

I dont think it's bitter to suggest Conte does not have Klopps number after that performance. Burnley did similar.

Conte is a top coach and had a full week to prep his team for this game.

We flew back on Wednesday and had 2.5days - even then I expected way more - which tells you how this Klopp team has spoilt us a bit.

Title hopes are hardly ended, I mean we are top of the league.

More difficult now though obviously.

Nope it’s the anti football remark that’s bitter

We didn’t play expansive football so you would win ….oh no boo hoo ….sorry about that

There was a certain individual on the pitch who was playing anti football all match….Fabinho

Never noticed how dirty he is til last night ….how he didn’t get a card 1st half was beyond me …the forearm in the face alone was a yellow card

Exactly and lots of spurs players that get slated against the lesser teams actually did their jobs against the top 2, when they had to be super focused. It's really tricky bridging that gap as you basically need two successful styles of playing. One when u dominate the ball and one without it. Conte excels at the latter but I think he can also create a more expansive style too if backed correctly. Will take lots of hard work but he isnt afraid of that.

Well I guess it comes down to what you define anti football as.

For me it's 8 behind the ball, only pressing in your own third and blocking a shot every 5 minutes then hoping to hit on the break which is exactly what Spurs did.

Yep and it worked to an extent

Had we won at the end we would have deserved it too for the perfect game plan

You are too good for us to play in any other way

Take it as a compliment but we will agree to disagree on the anti football thing

There are different ways to play football

Always the same on here 😂

Most spurs and Liverpool fans get on fine but it just takes a couple of bells from each camp to trigger the other group by saying some daft 5hit.

Benitez won a CL doing exactly what spurs did yesterday and prob with worse players, and Liverpool fans celebrated each victory against the bigger team. When u can't win a title it's natural u celebrate a good result as it keeps the fans believing progress is being made.

I pray spurs get top 4 cos u know even the most moderate Liverpool fan will relish posting on here, all cos the same couple of spurs fans went a bit OTT.

Why we keep coming back though isn't it be honest 😂

I'm not saying there is anything wrong with it but surrendering possession in that way, with eight behind the ball and only pressing in your third with a bank of five and then three (even four at times) and then hoping to hit on the break is indeed anti football and if it isnt, I'd like to know what is.

In fact I'd say it's bitter to be up in arms being labelled as something which is quite clearly accurate.

Conte is Italian he is always going to favour that style. Even if he had an unlimited budget his team will never play like a Pep or Klopp side. Has similarities with Simeone I'd say, both are winners. Does whatever it takes to win.


When Liverpool went decades without a title they stop caring how they won it they just wanted it! Spurs are the same. If they can have a team playing amazing football great but if they have to be a solid countering team to have a chance of medals I'm sure none will complain. Liverpool didn't when Benitez did it. Can't really blame them. I don't think it wins PLs but spurs are so far behind it'll at least get them way closer.

Not long ago spurs were doing better than Liverpool so the fact a draw is seen as such an amazing result kinda shows how much work they have to do. A step in the right direction though.

They are both great teams but Spurs are probably best equipped to cause them problems in the league.

There’s also a reason Spurs are 5th and miles behind them.
