I thought Kane was pretty good on the day, especially on the goal. It wasn't just the inch-perfect pass to Sessegnon in the buildup, it was the way he took down that ball that Emerson just kicked up in the air to begin the move in the first place. It was a moment of class that looked like being the difference in the game for a while.
More generally, I was moaning about our inability to keep the ball sometime early in the 2nd half, and my kid, a pretty gifted player in his own right, finally said, "what are they supposed to do?" Basically, he was pointing out how quickly the dippers snapped into the press with 3-4 players, and how the hoofed long ball that you'd usually play to get out of pressure gets gobbled up by probably the best CB in the world in VVD and that other big unit they played back there on Saturday.
Afterwards, Klippety was having a go at Tony's tactics, but his style of play forces it on the opposition. If you can't get out of your own half, you have to bring players back, sometimes all of them.
I despise Liverpool, but they are so fucking good. We're not that bad, but they're miles beyond where we, and everyone in Europe but City and maybe Real Madrid, are. And they almost definitely won't win the league. It's really unbelievable.
