We were blessed with both the great and the terrible of Angeball as Liverpool battered Tottenham with a 4-2 win at Anfield that flattered Spurs.
Ange Postecoglou at the start of the season: “The amount of times I hear managers saying: ‘I would like to play this way but I don’t have the players…’ “I just think: ‘Just do it mate…’.”
The conclusion to this match threatened to completely destroy our anti-Ange narrative. It still stands. His team should have conceded at least seven. Ceasing possession of the football in their own box as Jurgen Klopp’s gegenpressing suffocated Postecoglou’s defenders, it was a plan the Australian refused to alter, leaving his players exposed against one of the best pressing teams in Europe.
Four minutes is all it took for the game to be put to bed once and for all. Emerson Royal, someone who is clearly not made for Angeball, recovered the ball after a poor touch from Salah, only to doddle completely before Harvey Elliott – Sunday’s player of the match – latched on to a poor touch of Royal’s own to deliver a pinpoint cross on to Cody Gakpo’s noggin. A cross that came under no pressure from the makeshift Spurs left-back.
James Maddison and Richarlison were introduced shortly after Liverpool’s fourth and they did make a difference. The latter added a bit of bite to a weak Spurs attack, while Maddison got things ticking in the final third with a decent cameo.
