Tottenham 1-2 Liverpool: 3 Takeaways

#2 Problems for Pochettino

Image result for pochettino — Spurs now have lost back-to-back two matches.

The 0-3 victory at Old Trafford is looking like a long time ago for Spurs at the moment. Pochettino heavily criticized the players after their laid-back second-half performance against Watford which saw them throw a one-goal lead and eventually the game.

But against Liverpool, they looked disjointed and confused. There were miss passes, poor touches and hardly any control on the game. Liverpool dominated from the proceedings, and despite few moments of brilliance by Lucas Moura, there was hardly any notable contribution from any of the Spurs players. Hugo Lloris's absence was felt with Vorm partially responsible for both of Liverpool goals.

Tottenham Hotspur is mired with controversies outside the football pitch with poor transfer market and stadium issues. They have a pretty decent game of fixtures coming up which they are expected to win as any hiccups could further dent their title-winning hopes.

About the author

A sports enthusiast and an avid follower of football.

Since childhood I was encouraged to play cricket and in no time it became a hobby. Gradually I found interest in other sports also.

Football is in my blood and I love the electrifying ambiance that surrounds it. I often watch the pre and post match analysis of a match and try to learn how to analyze a football game.

The thing that intrigues me the most is that there are so many things happening behind the scenes that are oblivious to our naked eyes. The technological advancements that has been made are phenomenal.

I like analyzing a game from a statistical point of view. Being a data guy myself , I am firm believer of providing insights through facts and data. Though a game is always unpredictable , analyzing it from different dimensions can provide some very interesting conclusions.
