I'll tell you something, its going 2 ways. We'll either pick up where we left off and go and beat spurs 2,3-0 ( them having an off day to ) OR they'll come out all guns blazing in the second, turn the game around win 2-1 and we'll all be sitting here in an hours time talking about Maxi and Torres's chances in the first half!

At this level, you simply cannot miss chances like that, I can't emphasise it enough. You all may think oh calm down your being abit too picky, but I'm really not, the margin of error at this level is so fine.

.....

Thats the difference between winning and losing, its that marginal, fucking knew it. Also thats the differece between a good winger in maxi and a very good winger in Lennon. End of the day, you take your chances you win football matches, its really that simple, as soon as Maxi missed and Torres missed, it was all too inevitable for my liking.

Thats all ive got to say on the game.

No Dean. There's more.. Give it thought, make me feel better mate

Wish I could mate but I can't.

Only positives is, it was a fantastic game and we actually had a go today and didn't stick 11 men behind the ball like we usually do, it was in some respects and '' Unusual '' approach by Hodgson, maybe a shift in tactics from him, maybe just a one off. Who knows. But am fucking furious with the chances we missed, that game could of been wrapped up by half time today. We'd of went above Spurs and been just 9 points off Man Utd and only 7 shy of Chelsea and a measly 4 off City, with a good fixture list ahead for xmas. We don't play any top 5 teams now till february. I'm distgusted.

I'm off to play with afew knifes for abit.

Great result for Spurs, even though we were far from our best. Liverpool were very good in the first half and should've been 2 or 3 up by half time. Although Defoe was unlucky to have his effort blocked off the line. 2nd half we played much better, Bale had his shot blocked off the line and Defoe missed another penalty. Modric did great for the own goal, and Lennon showed great composure to make it 2-1. Great game of football, nice and open and chances either. We took our chances, Liverpool didn't. Simple as that.

Hopefully Kaboul and VDV wont be out too long. Just as Dawson is nearing return and Defoe is back, we lose Kaboul and VDV. At least we have a strong enough squad for it though.
