Liverpool “madness” leaves fans bemused by “1 of dumbest games of football”

Liverpool gave us far more than we bargained for after letting their 3-0 lead slip only to score the winner at the death against Tottenham. Have you caught your breath yet?

Three goals inside the first 15 minutes saw Liverpool cruise to a healthy advantage, with Curtis Jones, Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah all punishing Tottenham.

But the Reds’ sloppy play to close out the half was a prime example of their Jekyll and Hyde tendencies, gifting the visitors too many opportunities to find their footing.

The upright proved to be more reliable for Liverpool than their own defence at times, before Son Heung-min and Richarlison completed, what they thought was, a comeback that the Reds gifted them.

Then entered Diogo Jota, scoring immediately after the kickoff for 4-3 – it saw Jurgen Klopp pull his hamstring and Anfield burst into life.

The job should have been done without a hero’s finish, but we’ll take it!

 

Well, try and sum that one up!

The overall performance opened the door to further questions about the Reds’ system but, at this stage, a win is still a win:

“One of the weirdest games ever.. Mixed feelings all day long on how we had the best 20 minutes the entire season starting off absolutely on fire to switching off completely at Anfield infront of the Kop… Thank God almighty for the win and let’s just keep it there.”

LFC Pride in the TIA comments.

“Important 3 points to secure Europa but it’s clear we need at least 2 midfield dominators and a CB in the summer or it’s going to be pretty tough to control games.”

Richarlison, thought you had the last say, did you?

We have one word: Unlucky!

It was a bad day for a ref we know all too well…

The shocking tackle on Diaz was an unwelcome jolt to the system. And yet, there was no caution, no free-kick, no second look. Work that one out. It wasn’t the only questionable decision from Paul Tierney:

 

And there was a clear standout…

Jones opened the scoring for the Reds, but his performance encompassed more than just his first strike of the season and Reds were quick to heap praise:


This was Liverpool being the Liverpool we have come to know this season, it is just that we got the whole show in a single match.

That we could give Spurs hope after flying to a three-goal lead is far from acceptable, but at least the power of recovery remained at the death.

Fewer heart palpitations and more three points against Fulham, please.
