Worst game Eric Dier has had in a Spurs shirt, which in fairness to him is the first I've witnessed.
Bitterly spineless performance, couldn't retain possession resulting in the ball coming straight back.
Dropped big points last 2 games by not being able to open up Sunderland and not getting something from a game that Liverpool were fragile going in to. Can't understand why Dembele taken off both games with 20 mins to go as he is a massive player for us.

That's one way to grab form again - mullering Spurs , should have been more than 2

Until the next blip. Sadly Arsenal and Liverpool are incapable of stringing runs together without careless loss of points and are competing for 4th place at best. Spurs can kiss any remaining hope of the PL if Chelsea win tomorrow
 
Think this is one of the few times Poch. got his tactics wrong,with Liverpool playing so poor of late he maybe thought he could play a adventurous style and it backfired big time. From having one of the best defences this season we looked to have the worst tonight.

Liverpool were brilliant tonight and should have the game sown up at half time, plenty of energy and first to the ball most of the match.

1-11 we have a good a side as anyone,but with Rose,Vertongen and Lamella out it really showed tonight that we haven't got a good enough squad, look at our bench compared to Chelsea and City, can't compete with that amount of spending.

But imo we will finish in the top 4, and that would hopefully bring in better players.

half of that defence was missing today. No one higher than burnley to play away from home now : )

Liverpool were very good today but where has that team been for the last six weeks.
should have been at least four up at half time.
Mane makes so much difference hounds defenders you don't see Sturrige doing that.
Spurs very poor no fight, no tactics the way to play us is sit back for the first half then have a go later in the game, I think they expected to steamroller us but they just bottled it.

worst performance was the ref how he managed to book nine players is a mystery there were four max.

good to see the fight from the Reds but Klopp still needs to sort out a plan B just as well plan A worked a treat today.

Congrats to Chealsea can't see them losing it now but fight is on for next three places.

Very accurate summary. Wasn't aware it was as many as nine yellows but it really wasn't that sort of game so sums the referee up perfectly for me.

Absolutely bang on and welcome to my world.

Its not just having the superstars in the team and on the bench but keeping them all happy YoY is a challenge. Its a very expensive business and teams like Spurs do very well to occupy top 4 believe me.
 
Too close to call with too many games left. It's 3 from 5 and at the moment I don't think anyone could say which ones with any confidence.

Fair play to Chelsea, they are so consistent, something the others have all failed at.

Who do you fancy?
 
That was a cop out. With minimal confidence I'll go City, Utd (boy that hurts), and Spurs. I'm happy to accept that two of those could be wrong and honestly I couldn't tell you which two.
 
I wouldn't argue with any of that. Leicester and Swansea are more than capable of joining the party at the bottom but this three look pretty poor. I can see Palace potentially putting a run together to escape but they need to do something soon. They could be this years Newcastle.
 
Have to agree with Wrighty on MOTD, Gabbiadini looks quite a player for Soton for £14M. I think Utd will have to watch him very carefully in a couple of weeks time.
 
If ever there was a need for replays and a video ref then Arsenal's first goal is a stand out example......
Gibbs should have gone - last season there would have been no doubt....
10 man Arsenal probably wouldn't have won that.

The game needs to find a way to incorporate the tech .
