No matter what people say about Defoe he is 100% better than Ade! plus its his first full game back, give him time! I have faith he will get us goals!

Come on Lads no need to be bitter about today's loss. You guys just have too much of a high expectation from your team. Forget this season, it will be same story as last one, but spurs will be a force next season and might just nick the 4th. So take it to the chin like AVB. Have a good one!

you played us off the field today. good side at the moment but maybe we were owed the win as it was the opposite situation at white hart lane earlier in the season

2 signings a topclass cf and a top class left back and you ll be title challengers

Believable9 Unbelievable4

That was a very gracious post. Thank you. Yes we were lucky at WHL. You also have the makings of a good side with one or two additions needed. If we had signed Suarez ( Harry thought he would not be up to it physically) we would be the best team in the premiership. You correctly identified our left back major problem.

Gracious but sycophantic and incorrect. Liverpool deserved their win!

Agree10 Disagree10

Its footballdon, no need for personic banter

just appreciate good football whoever plays it and for 20-30minseither side of half time today you absolutely destroyed us. you looked likescoringwiht every attack and just sliced through our midfield like butter. until we brought on the extra man in midfield

left back definately is a problem for you. it is a bit for us also though

but a top class cf like damiao and you can challenge united

we need a couple of centre backs like vertonghen who looks a steal for 9.8 million. our attack is getting better but would likeanother goalscoring wide forward and another option to lucas at defensive midfield. with four good signings we ll be top four next season

i recently saw a gooner posting that spurs would win the epl in 2014. and with your boss villas boas I wouldn't at all be surprised. very humble and decent man even in defeat as he was in victory earlier in the season. chelsea s loss (impatience) shall be your gain

Agree5 Disagree2

Its good to appreciate when you have been outplayed and lucky to win

Agree2 Disagree7

God reading all above stuff it was nice both fans appreciating each other but had to be someone to bring in the lucky chant.

1. I don't know what's so lucky?

1st and 3rd goals were clearly genuine goals. what's so lucky abt it? your defender did a mistake becoz of pressure put on him. and you have to admit it was anyones game. even after 2-2 and us going for a win ther was no doubt you could have won it too. mistakes in such crunch game are obvious.

2. abt dominating?

yes you did but were never out. we were in the game making you work hard so did,

if having more possession is the point. liverpool would be league champs already.

look at your previous game, those two goals against the gooners are the example of worst defending a team can do. higher defense line and still allowing parker and gilfy to pic a pass at will. a under 15 team would also never repeat a basic mistake like that twice. its like gooners handed you 3 pts. didn't heard any talk abt getting lucky that time.

Avb hasn't learnt yet that when you start Livermore that means we will lose! We should of won, they got very lucky but let's not panic, we had Lennon, Sandro and Kaboul out all 3 are top notch and would make a big difference. Suarez is the biggest cheat I have ever seen.

Believable5 Unbelievable16

10 Mar 2013 21:46:23
No, Bale is a bigger cheat than Suarez, and I'm a Spud. {Ed008's Note - Lies!

Agree18 Disagree7

In what way did he cheat? That was a blatent penalty! Mate you have bale the biggest diving fish balarena muppet on the pitch who holds his face when no one touched his face.

Where was the luck? You gave us 3 goals by YOUR mistakes and we have you two from our poor defending plus bale being the actress she is.

You guys were lucky to get a win at white heart lane against us so everything that comes around us goes around mate

Agree15 Disagree3

The problem is having two defensive midfielders together. It completely kills our tempo, and there is no point having pace in your team if the ball is constantly held up in midfield and the opposition get back in numbers.

Parker was more guilty of this than Livermore today. Whenever he got the ball he'd just turn back to face our own goal and play a backward pass. I get that he's not the best passer, and that Liverpool pressed well, but with Dembele and Siggy often coming more central he very often had possibilities that he did not take.

Still we outplayed them for long periods of the game at their own place, and were it not for a couple moments of total suicide we'd have taken something from the game, so the performance was ok even if the result was disappointing.

Agree1 Disagree3

Agree that 3 points each was better for both clubs then two draws which probably would have been more fair. let's not get into slagging match over who is the bigger diver. They are both world class but would want to stop the diving etc. it does nothing for them and makes them marked men for referees. A truly great player does not need to dive. Have you ever seen Messi diving?

The Don

Agree10 Disagree0

For the record bale has more yellow card awarded for diving. 4 times. still this thing goes unnoticed by bitish media. and so by the fans.

on more thing, no doubt abt bale's or suarez's talent, had suarez been a english. he would have been the god and had bale been playing in spain or itally he wouldn't have been this bale.

Agree6 Disagree0

Lol ed 08 is cleavely bitter bale got outshone by suarez grow up bale is a poor mans suarez the kid should go to acting school as his antics yesturday were pathetic ajh36 {Ed008's Note - Actually I rate Suarez ahead of Bale but their different positions I'm not biased like some people.

Agree0 Disagree1

How can you call bale a Poor mans Suarez.
They play different positions.
Jeez. Hiw many more times do you need to be told.
Compare bale/coutinho
Suarez/Defoe
Siggs/gerrard
Reina/lloris
Walker/Johnson

Do you get it now. Not that hard surely.

Agree1 Disagree0

10 Mar 2013 21:30:57
To all the bitter supporters saying Suarez dived first remember that both pundits and you're own manager, agreed he was fouled even your own players never contested the decision. It was a great game by two teams playing the best football in the EPL but all this bitterness just makes you look like sore losers. are you not better than that?

well played lads that's the best showing from any side at anfield this season. no other team has dominated the ball like that at our place this season, really powerful side! top goal scorer and you could be contenders next season! must keep bale though! we won that with fight and grit more than anything and a helping hand from yours truly haha! exciting game to watch, good luck in your champs league campaign next season, and for the future, see you next season!

you re forgetting the 2-0 home loss to arsenal

Agree4 Disagree4

At the start of the season you was playing terrible and getting beat at home. Play arsenal now an you wouldn't lose 0-2.
If we played you at anfield at the start of the season, then I think the score would of been different.

Agree4 Disagree0

Maybe but during that spell that arsenal destroyed us at home we alsoplayed city and united off the park at anfield


oddly enough I still fancy arsenal to get top four

Have to say great player that bale is, I'd have to say hand on heart suarez is better, easily the best in England.

Believable15 Unbelievable5

Suarez proved he is the king of diving today. He and bale both flop when touched but I'm surprised Suarez didn't rip his back muscles today with that effort.
Suarez is not the best in his position in the league.
He is behind RVP, aguero, tevez and Rooney.
Bale and Suarez are different players.
It's like saying Suarez is better than vidic. Suarez is a great player but as a person he is pure s. cum.

Agree3 Disagree20

Easily the best in England at what, being a forward?

No chance.

Agree2 Disagree8

Why so bitter? Gareth Bale is the worse player to con a ref this season. For your free kick, he goes down holding his face when tv shows nothing touched him. What do you want to say about that because the free kick got you a goal?

RD

Agree15 Disagree1

Sorry guys but you're making yourselves sound very bitter and pretty childish, Suarez and Bale are the best two players in the EPL and well you know it, you lost, accept it and move on but don't act like kids you only let yourselves and your club down.

MR EM

Agree11 Disagree1

You must be on the wrong thread here mate. Where does today's score even get mentioned?
It's a debate about Suarez as far as I can see and you keep repeating the same comment over again. We get it mate.
By the way, I'm not surprised some spurs fans are annoyed about today. We had you on a plate and threw it
away and threw away the chance to open a bigger gap on our top 4 rivals. So excuse me if you don't like the comments. Yes we are bigger than that but also allowed to share our views. If you not like it, we'll, go to the Liverpool page.

Agree3 Disagree5

Mr em from where I am sitting its people airing their personal views in the comments above and I can't see why that is childish. Not once does today's game get mentioned.

Agree2 Disagree2

10 Mar 2013 23:14:20
Both of your goals arose from incorrect free kicks arising from non-existent fouls on Bale. I'd be embarrassed if he played for my club! Cheating coward!

Agree9 Disagree2

There both as good as each other but remember they play diff positions, and they both dive and cheat bale grabbed his face face when Lucas grabbed his shoulder. It was a pen, but Suarez kicked Dawson, he slid in on demble, and he rolled around on the floor like he had been shot when parker tackled him, Liverpool could have had a couple of pens but Gerrard could have also had a couple of yellows, these things swing around but it was a good game over all.
Paul

Agree1 Disagree2

To the guy who said go to liverpool page.

no one can stop anyone here from posting or commenting. if we had lost we had been posting same stuff. all is accepted

but condemning suarez is truly uncalled for. and not related to the game. personalization wich I guess bale gets never charged for even after having more yellow card shown for diving.
1. if you really ask a neutral SUAREZ DID NOT DIVE. it was a genuine penalty.
2. bale did get a false kick which eventually turned into a goal.

Agree2 Disagree0

Suarez did not dive in your opinion. That is your opinion. Other people have opinions, you can't try and make them agree with yours because you believe it to be correct.
This why it is a banter site.
Jeez. not that hard surely.
You have your opinion and won't be swayed and vice versa.

Believable10 Unbelievable4

You are joking surely. One defeat and we all hang ourselves. We have bern very lucky recently with last minute goals, so something like this was coming. Again it is good timing that we have inter away with a good lead, then a Fulham side on a poor run. Next Sunday expect us to be still at least 7 points in front of the goons, if we aren't, thn you should start worrying then.

Agree5 Disagree2

Personally I think we'll come back stronger. Today will have hurt.

Agree0 Disagree2

10 Mar 2013 18:30:10
Thought AVB tactically got it SPOT ON today, Liverpool looked outclassed, down and out and we just kept coming at them. Walker is good but clumsy way too often, didn't expect that from Defoe and can't really be too harsh of Lloris and he has pulled us out a hole a few times. Onwards and upwards!

Believable3 Unbelievable9

Yea I agree. The result was bad but the performance was good. Things are good. We bossed them today at anfield. Cut out a couple of mistakes and better finishing and we would of cruised.
Don't get too disheartened. I think we will get a result against Fulham and I think the goons will drop points at Swansea.

Agree2 Disagree4

Like we bossed ye at the lane earlier in the season andgot beaten

things have evened out

Agree15 Disagree1

Jeez you guys really do have some big heads. Out classed? You got deservedly beat. You can use the excuse of your players making mistakes but our defence made terrible mistakes for both your goals.

Also sorry but bale has got to be the most irratating player. Don't get me wrong he's a beast but why does he go down and carried off for no reason like a little baby

Agree11 Disagree2

Walker has been poor all season for me and quite frankly the lad can't defend! He consistantly shows a lack of quality when pressed and I am positive AVB will bring in more competition for the right back slot next season (For the record I ain't having Naughton is the answer).

What can you say about Defoe for the 3rd goal, shocker! That said it sums JD up with his back to goal!

I agree AVB got it right today and at 2-1 you could see us getting a 3rd then BANG we gift them the 3 points.

I think the squad is made of tougher stuff this season and expect a positive reaction so for me not all doom and gloom.

B's a yid

Agree6 Disagree1

Did you mean to say Suarez is the most irritating player because you seem to have described Suarez perfectly there. Must of been a typo.

Agree0 Disagree5

Agree that Walker is not good at defending - yet. My aspiration is that his athleticism, particularly his speed, has made him good enough in the PL to play in the 1st 11 and this is the best way to learn how to defend. He's still young, and I think he is getting better, for example his positioning is not as bad as last season.

Defoe had a poor game, even discounting the poor touch that led to the penalty. I think it is desperation to get back to his form of earlier in the season. A couple of times he tried to take on crazy shots with players in front of him when shipping the ball slightly to the side would have put others (once Dembele, once Siggy) in.


AVB had good tactics, but I still really dislike playing with 2 defensively minded central midfielders. Parker, who was more adventurous, would kill our tempo by being obsessed with constant turning instead of making simple passes. That allowed Liverpool to get back in numbers and press our midfield. I think we looked our best when Dembele drifted central.


But yes I also think the squad will have a positive reaction to this loss.

Agree0 Disagree0

10 Mar 2013 23:18:13
You lost! We scored more goals than you and conceded less! 3 pts to us and none to you! LOSERS!!

Like a baby Gerrard elbowed him in the back in the air Gerrard should have really had a couple of yellows today

Agree0 Disagree3

10 Mar 2013 18:25:26
Jake Livermore is NOT premier league standard. Very sloppy 2 goals to give away

Believable9 Unbelievable2

10 Mar 2013 18:14:06
Defoe did just one thing today. We would have been way better off with Ade. When did Defoe score last? If he is not scoring, he is of NO value to the team. I would get rid of him and play Ade for the remaining matches. I have said it here numerous times Benni can not defend and he gives away penalties. He must go. Hope our luck has not turned. Important AVB picks them up and boosts the morale.

That was disappointing, I thought it was strange starting with livermore over holtby, but it was stupid to wait so long to take livermore off. All the same we should have won it anyway, those last two goals were absolutely sickening to watch.

Believable3 Unbelievable1

10 Mar 2013 17:52:40
That was dreadful bad luck. We played them off the park and two dreadful mistakes cost us 3 points. Hope it is just a blip as we played very well. Would have almost guaranteed CL if we had won. Pity.

Believable4 Unbelievable10

I'm just hoping the 2 merseyside results don't come back to bite us at the end of the season. 6 points in the bag dropped there and we should be sitting nicely in 2nd by now.

Agree2 Disagree2

Why can't you just be gracious in defeat? You didn't play us off the park at all. You scored one goal today. because the set piece for the second, when bale went down holding his face when cameras clearly show nothing touched him is nothing short of a embarrassing.
Hes a very gifted player, so why does he carry on like that?
You got beaten today by the better team, and its about time you showed a little respect and praise
I would have come here and congratulated you had you won, because I like spurs and what they are doing
Unlucky today

RD

Agree5 Disagree4

Pot kettle mate. Suarez?
Yes he got touched but dived over like Tom Daley. Bale does too. No doubting that. The difference I'd most spurs fans can see bale dives and makes a meal of it.
Can you say the same about Suarez?
No, I didn't think so.

Agree0 Disagree7

Liverpool here that can admit we were not the better team, I know the second goal bale should not have got a free kick but there is always something to moan about from both sides at the end of the match. We done well to get a result against a spurs team that were very impressive today.

Agree3 Disagree0

You obviously don't come on here that much. Spurs fans are gracious in defeat, if we get beaten fare and square.
We gifted that to Liverpool today. We should of been well clear when we handed them the last 2 goals.
I've read all week that Suarez is better than bale because the 'stats' say so. Well, my friend, look at the 'stats' today an then say you was the better team.
You can't have it both ways.

Agree1 Disagree3

It was a clumsy challenge by ekotto and suarez made the most of it

Agree3 Disagree2

Just justice for what happened at WHL earlier in the season, when we should have had the 3 points
I think you deserve top 4 because you play some nice football and have a good team
Good luck in the champions league next season, and I hope we will be joining you the following one

Banter please Ed
Just a comment before I get shot down, with no Lennon, why isn't Holtby playing? How the hell is Livermore playing? {Ed004's Note - More defensive set up?}

Believable2 Unbelievable1

I totally agree, I really don't think livermore is evergoing to be good enough but on the other hand holtby has a great player and he is also clearly as keen to play as anyone in the squad.

Agree2 Disagree1

We will get destroyed with Parker and Livermore holding. I'm now not looking forward to this.

Agree3 Disagree1

Have always supported AVB but surely even he can see after that half that Livermore is not good enough for Spurs

Agree3 Disagree1

Livermore and parker as cm jus ain't good enough! They both cnt pass and get scared on the ball. For me naughtin should of been bought in a rb and walker given the chance at rm as I believe he would offer near on the same as lennon. U then keep dembele in the center 2 boss the game and make parker look good.!

Agree2 Disagree1

Totally embarassed 2 b a spurs fan 2day such a joke jake livermore shouldn't even b a pro footballer let alone play in the prem. and as for defoe wow! I truely believe we have 2 of the most overated strikers in the world. Liverpool r so poor its unreal without sureaz I don't think they would last even in the championship and qll the liverpool fans hu think they ave a good team they obvs don't ave a clue we played r worse game

Agree2 Disagree7

Two stupid mistakes cost us! They didn't win it! We lost it!

Agree2 Disagree2

Sorry but AVB deserved that! To play that two in defensive midfield, was asking for trouble and we got that! Then to top it all he leaves it till the 80th minute to bring Holtby on, WHY? Hope this doesn't come back and bite us on the arse. So let's learn from this, keep Livermore out and let's beat Fulham!

Agree2 Disagree0

Liverpool are a very attacking side so defensive midfielders was needed.

Agree2 Disagree2

What three of them??

10 Mar 2013 14:59:28
Hay all just think today will be a hard one as Liverpool are very hot and miss. At the same time think we can get a result. From now to the end of the season I think the results are more important then the performance. weather you go to games or just love the spurs, let's all get behind our beloved thfc and see them over the line to secure cl footy next yr. On another subject I'm pissed of of all the media going on about bale tumbles. 99% of the tackles on him in the box is with contact and if out the box we would get a free kick. poor and scared refereeing is the cause of all this.
Bale keep going son

Sunday People reporting that Higuain is interested in moving to London and that Tottenham and Arsenal are front runners for his signiture. Our link up with Real Madrid and if we manage to finish in top 4 should make us favourites. £22m transfer fee reported, but at 25 years of age would be a fantastic signing, he is proven in europe unlike Damaio who would cost about the same.

Believable3 Unbelievable2

If RM make any offer for Bale, would want cash + higuain or higuain + modric

Agree0 Disagree2

Liverpool supporter in peace, but you should at all costs keep bale, I gained a lot of respect for him today and you would be stupid to let him go for any aumount of money because you should rather spend 40M on getting better players and you can actually keep being a top top team, because mistakes cost you today, that's football as hey have cost us a lot earlier this season!

Just hope tomorrows game justifies the improvement of both sides this season. Both sides are on the up and playing good football under there respective managers. Bale probably had his best season ever but our diver is definately better than yours! (joke) LFC have played decent football but not got deserved results sometimes but usually entertaining to watch.
Lets hope for a good game and the best team to win.

Believable9 Unbelievable0

I agree with you, I think our teams are probably playing the best football at the moment. both sides have a quick and efficient direction. I think it may come down to our defence being better than yours at the moment but with players like bale and suarez the game can be turned at any time
