liverpool spurs, wasn't great viewing from the spurs side, but not as uncomfortable as the previous batterings.
We're still short creatively going forward, but Lamela was willing if not completely effective. We're short of game changers off the bench, we had dembele, kane, townsend and holtby as the attacking subs, and they won't put the fear into anyone. Dembele has regressed somewhat, still plays too deep, and holds onto the ball just a moment too long, but his strength on the ball is amazing.
Eriksen had a quiet game, the interplay between him, Lamela and Chadli looks like it could go somewhere, but right now we don't have that incisiveness that made Liverpool the better team.
Kaboul and Verts put us under pressure, but played half decently, first goal was soft, feel like Lloris coulda/shoulda saved Sterling's effort, penalty really killed us coming straight after half time, but it was soft as, and then Townsend losing the ball to moreno, who ran away from him and scored a beauty.
All in all, disappointed, but progress has been made and it's only the third game of the season, so hopefully we'll kick on from there...
