As usual poor defending from set pieces put unnecessary pressure on us to get goals however luckily spurs offered little threat other than that and the better team was able to take all 3 points.
Worryingly poor performance from Lucas, was outmuscled by Dembele today and I think he confirmed that we do to bring in a top quality defensive midfielder with the technical ability and strength to hold the ball in midfield.
Made it difficult for ourselves

Lucas started well, decent first half. His job was to keep Bale quiet and he did a decent job at it.
Dembele was very good for them.

Lucas was excellent as was Downing, Suarez and Coutinho.

What a pathetic article, offered no threat? We pi ssed all over you throughout most the game and should of easily put the game to bed when it was 2-1. You got gifted your win today by our stupid mistakes.

Offered little threat ?? Did you not watch the game, the only reason Liverpool took all 3 points was because of our full backs mistakes. Should of been 3 or 4 up before it went 2-2.

we didn't have our best game but still we had the better chances. Your goals came from mistakes. First, our defence. Then Ref's mistakes for that soft free kick.
Winning mentality is back

Lucas was top class in the first half. Kept Bale quiet.
It was only when the game opened up is when Bale found space. Dembele is stronger than most players in the league.

This match showed me exactly where we should be investing most time, energy and money for the the future....a commanding centre back. And I mean a proper one. We need a Sami mkII.
Those two goals today were not difficult to defend in my opinion. I dunno of any obvious candidates to be honest but I'd like to think the club are making a few moves in preparation for next year.

Glen Johnson was poor and is poor at set pieces, If anything he gets in the way.
Agger is dubios at times too, prefers to grapple rather than attack the ball.
