My first half observation was that the short passing game
employed by Liverpool cannot work against EPL teams. They need to
get players to dribble, attract defenders and release others in the
team. That's why they barely tested Robinson until the end of first
half.
In the second half, they had some penetrative passes, but still the
pace was slow. Liverpool players ain't running. Until the second
Tottenham goal came, then they picked out the pace and had quite a
number of chances. When there was a penalty, I was thinking "When
was the last time Liverpool had a penalty?"....then I saw Gerrard
take, confirm miss, then really miss....shall have let Nando
take....remember, only Danny Murphy had 100% record in
penalties....Luis Garcia kept trying the first-time shot when it's
obvious he cannot do that. His good shots need some touches of the
ball beforehand....
Hyypia was the saviour, knn, played like a striker, scored with a
superb volley....
Two points wasted but the one point gotten was also lucky....
