Tottenham 1 - 2 Liverpool - Premier League Man Of The Match
Tottenham 1 - 2 Liverpool - Premier League Man Of The Match
Mohamed Salah
A sensationally gifted and important player. His killer instincts killed off Spurs in the first half, and the point of the spear was as sharp as you could ever want.
With Nunez acting as the jagged edge, and Bobby the assured grip, this three man attack had some lovely and complimentary elements to it.
Mo showed everything he needed in that first half, and made the …
Tottenham 1 - 2 Liverpool - Premier League Player Ratings
Starting XI
Alisson Becker - 7.0
Looked a little shaky on 15 mins as Spurs exploded with two chances, but did enough to keep the ball out. Was steady enough barring that. Had to make some good saves to keep the Reds in the game, and could do little about the Kane goal.
Trent Alexander Arnold - 6.0
A brilliant cross field ball to Nunez set the trend for Trent, on the ball anyway. He struggled with quick paced attacks …
Liverpool 1 - 1 Tottenham - Man Of The Match
Luis Diaz
A wonderfully technical player, his skill set in possession was simply superb at times. His tenacious nature grew through the first half, as neat possession started to grow into brilliant penetration. The first half was a frustration for the reds, but it was clear that Diaz would be relied upon to keep the home side ticking along.
He got his goal to level proceedings, after another roaming dribble inside. The luck off the deflected effort couldn’t hide the …
Observations: Hard Work for The Reds against solid Spurs.
Let's address the issue on everyone's minds first. With only 1 point gained against Tottenham, Liverpool are now 3 points behind Manchester City if they won their game in hand. This means Jurgen Klopp and his boys now need City to lose a game rather than just draw. This makes it less likely, but it still can turn on a single result. Fingers crossed then. With that covered, onto the game itself.
The most striking thing from this game was …

Alisson Becker - 7.5
The monster keeper started in this clinical game, with his brilliance most required. A couple of good early stops saw him start brightly. Could do nothing for the opening goal, as the away side calved open the reds backline.
Trent Alexander-Arnold - 7.0
Back into the league line up after a rest against Newcastle. He had an early sighter that flew over, and a few good deliveries in a possession heavy opening period. Was called to …
Dominant Wijnaldum must continue in No.6 role for Liverpool
A victory, at long last.
Liverpool are finally back to winning ways in the Premier League for the first time since December 19th, and what a performance they produced at Tottenham.
When Fabinho was nowhere to be seen in the starting lineup, the levels of anxiety went through the roof, with more dropped points appearing likely.
Similarly, Son Heung-min's early 'goal' led to that all too familiar sinking feeling returning to the stomach, only for the Reds to be given …
A year since Madrid for Klopp's Liverpool
It’s been just over a year since Liverpool lifted their sixth Champions League title in Madrid. And it’s fair to say that it’s been an absolutely unbelievable year in a number of respects. On the field, Liverpool have all but secured their first Premier League title, ending the 30-year drought for the big one.
But off the field, tragedy has struck the entire world, and caused untold misery and death across the entire planet. I don’t want to focus too …
Liverpool's most important win of the Klopp era
Liverpool have excelled with Jurgen Klopp at the helm, going from mediocre top-four hopefuls to champions of the world in the space of four years.
The German has not only ensured his side play some of the most eye-catching football in the club's history, but has also brought with him a winning mentality that has rubbed off on his players.
When looking back at some of the most memorable victories of the Klopp era, there are a number of games …
Is Jurgen Klopp the Enemy of the Football League? Or it's Defender?
Whether you’re a Liverpool supporter or not, you’ll almost certainly have an opinion on Jurgen Klopp’s comments after (some) of his world champions drew 2-2 against a battling Shrewsbury at New Meadow Stadium. The main talking point from the game was the upcoming replay the Shrews had just valiantly earned themselves in fighting from 2-0 down. Klopp immediately dampened the tone stating, "We will not be there".
This was the most cutting line he delivered post-match as he used the …
