Xabi Alonso, excellent coach that he is, was never the right choice for Liverpool. Nor are Ruben Amorim or Roberto De Zerbi. They should be looking at Spurs
…When you replace Klopp, you’re not just replacing his tactical acumen , his legendary man management but you’re having to replace a figurehead, a personality, someone who brings a club together and gets everyone pulling in the same direction.
Spurs fans won’t like me for saying it, but in terms of a fit, Liverpool won’t find much better. It’s Big Ange for me.. After the match every man and his dog was saying how terrible that game was. But given time to think, people started looking at the history of that game and who was playing and started to think: “Declan Rice, Rodri, Saliba. City missing some players…. Yep, I can see what’s happened here.
Maximus Decimus Meridius of Gladiator fame got it right. Make it look like the other team have a chance, then pull it out of the bag right at the end.I think, when I said two players away from being competitive with the three at the top, I based that on a lack of luck with a run of absences which we simply couldn’t handle.
I look at the like of Arsenal and Liverpool because those were teams we were competing with five years ago before we derailed, the reasons being many but ultimately obvious, Tom makes this point well, the top of the Tottenham pyramid weren’t capable, and we tumbled away., or that Villa can make it it even more competitive.
Yes we did’t do much but that’s a good thing because we will need that energy in another game which is just around the corner.I had meant to respond with this point to Hartley MCFC Somerset’s prior mail about penalties and club bias, so I’m glad the MC decided to publish this second one Wednesday afternoon.
The only outlier statistic seems to be the number of penalties awarded to Tottenham, based on both 2023-24 and on the 9 season period. Either Conte’s tenure at the club had an outsized impact on the 9 year statistics, or Tottenham may have a case to claim some sort of bias against them. But that’s an argument for Tottenham supporters to make, not me.I was reading a newsletter from The Anfield Wrap which cited a Liverpool defeat away at Tottenham in the 2008-09 season.
