Match Day Thread Vs Tottenham (A)

This^
Most reports I have seen claim that they had the better of the second half, but it was really only towards the end that they applied any continuous pressure.
I keep seeing claims that Spurs deserved something from the game, but that is frankly bollocks.

 

...... and the L and R backs swapping sides ......

 

...... and occasionally Alisson playing midfield

 

All three CMs do it (no matter who the three are) in every game

 

Not just the deepest CM, al three so it at times in every game

 

The commentators mentioning this rally grates me. It's another thing that's be happening for at just two sessions but they've only recently realised it's to do with defending corners

 

This is because of their defending positions on corners isn't it? They only revert when it's safe to do so.

 

What I noticed was different from the usual filling in when we are not in possession. Wijnaldum was sitting in there when we had the ball, I pointed it out to my kid and he was oh yeah why is he sat there. Personally I think it was to deal with the late runs from Alli, he did it all 1st half and then stopped in the 2nd half.

 

I'm with you. On balance, we deserved all three points

 

Do commentators really talk about it? I was saying it as a joke.

 

Tbh I've only noticed it when they are trying to get back to their 'own ' sides.

Moral of the story - be versatile.

 

Almost every game

 

I suppose it would help if I watched with the sound on.

 

'Thanks for everything' - Momo Sissoko's message to LFC supporters


Momo Sissoko has paid tribute to 'all the love' he received from Liverpool supporters throughout his career after announcing his retirement from the game.


The 34-year-old has made the decision to hang up his boots, having represented a host of clubs during his time in football, including Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain.

The midfielder made 87 appearances across three seasons for the Reds between July 2005 and January 2008, and was a popular figure among those in the stands.

Also the "sitter" that was "harder to miss" was actually less than 0.5 xG

People exaggerate their chances against us because they are so few they all seem significant... "if every forward pass was a goal we would have got at least a point"

 

What does less than 0.5 x G mean?

 

It means there was less than 50% chance of it going in, not even taking into account Lo Celso is a below average footballer without a single goal in the PL

 

Always liked momo
Great at winning the ball and even better at passing it back to the opposition

 

The man had some superlative ability for that, very bouncy shins I seem to recall

 

Thanks. I don't know how to interpret all the metrics that are put out.
