The turning point for me when watching the game on Saturday, was when the big mouthed reporter stated that Raffa since joining Liverpool had never lost to a Spurs side!
Thanks for that.
What can you say about these sorts of games, we were the overall better side, the early goal had us set up for another win, but a greasy surface didn't help when Carra put through his own goal and of course the compulsory last and winning goal deep into injury time .
For most of the game we controlled the midfield, not allowing Spurs to get into the game at all, the early part of the second half is when we should have killed them off, we made the chances, hitting the bar at least 3 times and putting some good chances just wide.
In fact I still think even though we got beat it was one of our best performances of the season, especially the way we controlled midfield, which meant the Spurs attack was almost none existent.
Lets face it we are going to face games like this when the best team loses. The real test for me, is how we bounce back. Look at Chelsea, since losing to Liverpool, they have registered 2 wins 3-0 and 5-0. That is a great example of how to deal with a set back.
We have a great opportunity tonight when we host Athletico Madrid in the Champions League. A win (and a good win) not only will secure us a place in the knock out stages it will do wonders for our confidence.
