Said it before and I’ll say it again - not good enough to be a PL starter. Would make a decent squad player but shouldn’t be relied on as first choice right back.

Even though we should be looking to replace him in the first XI we definitely need him as an utility man, back up and a leader in the dressing room - really dread the days of Coloccini captaincy when we had absolute fuck all leadership in the squad.

Would love that Was thinking he might be able to link up with Muto easier as well as they both speak German and Japanese. Obviously he has a ton of quality as well. Why would two Japanese guys converse in German?

Could've scored a lot more Got ourselves in a number of scoring opportunities where just a tiny bit of extra quality would have produced a goal or at least a save from the keeper. This Cardiff lot is absolutely rancid, managed just one shot on goal, a proper attacking side would have had a field day against these today. Have to admit though, a centre back trio of Lascelles, Lejeune and Schar is extremely strong - we even have Fernandez to call up on. What's worse is we seemingly have to rely on them scoring as well.

Just learned that Rashford has played 150 games for Man Utd... wtf feels like he just broke on to the scene.

Liverpool have a couple of world class fullbacks for the combined price of 6 million while Citeh spunk 50 million on a right back they keep on the bench.

Just so painful to watch. Such a glaring example tonight when we had a chance to break from the counter. Atsu, in acres of space plays an absolutely honking pass into the heels of Ritchie out wide, who - of course channels the touch of a rapist, resulting in us immediately losing the momentum and urgency. Concludes with Ritchie delivering a total abortion of a cross.

It wasn't even a bad performance by any means and it just makes it that much more infuriating. You can very clearly see that Benítez is squeezing every tiny bit of ability from this lot and it's nowhere - not anywhere near the amount of quality needed for a passable PL club. Have no idea why I bother anymore.

If Liverpool go for Pulisic in jan we really should be in for Lallana. Don't even know why I'm saying that tho.

Would've taken that before the game. Good to see Atsu finding his feet and Ritchie getting an assist. Rondón was great, so was Dúbravka while Diamé was also pretty good. No one really had a bad game save for maybe Perez who offered very, very little. Would like to see more of Muto in his stead.

Muto on for Perez please. Diame looks knackered as well.

Who on here used to think Troy Deeney was an Italian fella called Troidini? So funny

This is exactly why we need Ritchie. Only one who can play a decent cross.

Siege defending until they score. Fun.

Our best goalkeeper since Given I'd say.

Not too fussed about the result today. We fielded a team of mid-table Championship quality at best, away against a team well on course for a 100 points this season which also benefitted from a free penalty. Turgid watch and doubt I'll be watching the next match. But using this game as a stick to beat Benítez with is just outright dumb.

I'm kind of hoping this is a 5-3-2 with Dummett as a CB. It probably isn't. But just don't concede too many, please don't let this be embarrassing.

Spurs are fucking lethal. Don't need many chances to score.

Sissoko flourishing box to box. Never understood how so many managers persisted with him as a winger.

This Calvert Lewin kid looks useful. Absolutely robbed of a goal there.

I wonder if one of the reasons for Mourinho's failure at Man Utd was down to not having at least one dog-obedient lieutenant on the pitch who would run through a brick wall for him and drag his teammates forward. Had Terry and Drogba at Chelsea, Materazzi at Inter, Ramos at Madrid, Carvalho obviously at a few clubs. Not much leadership in that ManUtd team I reckon and certainly no one for that role.

He needs to take a break from the game. Not getting anything out of the likes of Sanchez, Pogba and Lukaku this season is just laughable but I'm pretty sure he can reinvent himself as a manager though if he takes some time off. He is after all one of the modern greats. Would probably do a job in international football.

Pathetic refereeing. Great play by both Atsu and Perez tho.

Can't string together 2 passes. This formation is just confusing, no fluidity.
