the football as you can see the game is really tough physically and also mentally you have to be always in the game so yeah I’m glad that we managed to win the game why is it that type of game with them is it a lot to do with how they press and try to be aggressive but it also gives you space the other end they have the way they play they don’t change it much uh it’s and it’s quite intensity and you can see City come here struggle some other team come here struggling but uh I think I’m glad that we managed to to win the game because they really play very intense game so well they do but as you said Liverpool knew that they like that and they were prepared to go more than toe-to-toe with them today well exactly that you you get a sense I mean Tottenham have certainly in my time were like that as well they used to be quite an aggressive team they didn’t mind mixing it with you they always backed themselves I think Peter you had some great games with with Tottenham as well for for Manchester United uh in recent times with the likes of con and and Mourinho they’ve come back to more of a cautious U mode and not really a mode that Tottenham fans have have enjoyed too much and now they’ve gone full circle uh and now whoever they play It’s like a shootout you know there’s never a dull game with with Tottenham and it suited Liverpool they’ve simply got a a better team a well oiled team that that all know what they’re doing so you know having a shoot off and and Liverpool looking at that and thinking do we need to tactically change you’d say no let’s let’s play them at their own game we we we’re too good for them and uh and that’s what they did and and basically the shootout went the way we thought lots and lots of goals but most of them for Liverpool and uh and it was I thought it was half flattered Tottenham in the end 63 sounds as if it was quite close but Liverpool battered them really it was uh it was one-sided right from right from the start and I never ever thought that Liverpool were going to get beat or be under any pressure today okay well nine goals six of them to Liverpool let’s talk to one of the goal scorers for Liverpool Dominic sabosa joins us live from the Tottenham hotpress Stadium uh thanks for joining us Dominic I mean goodness me that was an incredible game to watch what on Earth was it like to play in um I think it was even better to play than to watch um as I said before it was really a good uh game for the fans who came to the stadium saw nine goals but I think um it was more happy for us because we took the three points and most talking that there’s no surprise to anybody how Tottenham play so when you come to a ground like this today unlike perhaps other fixtures there’s no surprise the way your opponents are going to um come up against it the game and it looked as though that played into your hands at times yeah it it was our plan we knew it that um they’re going to defend High and um that’s why we took um actually without a number nine Lucho was a number 10 next to me and um he was dropping more to get the balls and if no one follows him then he can turn but if someone follows him then it’s a big space behind so I can I can get to uh into the space and um yeah make a lot of difference Dominic it’s Michael Owen well played today just wanted to talk through your your goal um what was going through your mind did you consider taking it first time and then once you’d taken a touch what were you thinking in terms of the Finish was it just to hit the target or did you see a little space between the goalkeeper’s legs no to be honest I didn’t see no space there I just I just hope that move sees me I took the touch inside and um yeah hope the best yeah and then you were later involved in another goal again mosalah uh you were returning the favor let’s say um you could have shot in this situation I’m sure Moos Sala would have shot if he was you but this was brilliant awareness to to play the ball to Mo yeah that’s the differ between us yeah I know how he feels I don’t know how you feel I was selfish too yeah no no I’m I’m happy for him as well um he gave me in the first half uh I told him I’m going to give him back so really and for arest lot I mean he’s only lost one game you’re top of the league at Christmas four clear with a game in hand I mean in all honesty you couldn’t have dreamt of this situation I think everybody’s dreaming of these situations but um we seen many times that teams were in front of um other teams and it’s still 6 months to go so um we are looking for the table a little bit but also we are just taking care of ourself getting our points um still still one more game um to go in front of the other team so yeah we want to be as much much in front as we could I know it’s the same set of players Dominic but with the new manager tweaking things here and there is it a surprise how quickly you’ve all taken it on board and the Fantastic results in every competition that you’ve had probably actually um no one expected um him us to to to start so well um but he is beli in the team we are believing in him and um I think we need the whole Squad and that we showed it many times doesn’t matter who plays we give our best um on the pitch Champions League cups um and in the Premier League as well that’s why we are the top of the table and um top of the Champions League well very well played today we appreciate you joining us thank you very much indeed thank you and he said one of the Liverpool goal scorers for you live from the Tottenham hotsp Stadium that’s the point Peter as well when they play like they did today they’ve got goals all over the all over the pitch haven’t they I think Liverpool in the last couple of years they’ve had goals from everywhere really uh and that’s been the strength of the team um I you know it it would be interesting to hear exactly what it is the difference from last year to this year is because it they they kind of look more solid well Michael used the word control didn’t he before the game yeah they still scoring the goals they’re still coming up with the chances like they did last season but they kind of look a lot lot more solid and we are at Christmas now they’re top of the league they’re in the the the semi-final of The League Cup they’re top of the league of the Champions League I mean that that’s that that’s brilliant absolutely fantastic and and now you’re looking at it you’re thinking yeah this might just be that year you know where they can they can go and win all the big things um and but when when you look at the the playing material you think well it’s it’s not really like what man city had in the last sort of and still have of course they don’t have like two teams but still it’s working it’s working out for them and it’s absolutely impressive what they did today was fantastic what they were did they came out and they knew how Tottenham were going to play and they absolutely exposed them at their home turf they humiliated them and and rightly so you said before it could have been a lot more uh and it should have been a lot more but uh I mean I’m I’m now beginning to think that Liverpool can actually go all the way um and it’s yeah said it through gritted teeth there no I honestly honestly I I you know I would love man united to win the league I’ve nowhere near that but I really like You’ wake up from that dream at the moment Peter I like with football when when there’s an element of risk but also to use your word control so when you combine the two of them with good players you end up with having good football and entertaining football you don’t have to go I mean today I think Tottenham the way they approach against game was just a little bit silly you know they’re just giving a lot of space away that they didn’t have to give away that kind of football might be enjoyable it’s not enjoyable for Tottenham fans today but Liverpool’s way of playing is quite entertaining and and you know you combine those two things you know you never know what it can and it was not great te it was like what the big well done um but from Spur’s point of view 9 minutes into the second half at 3-1 they concede the first goal of the second half and then they were chasing and when you got Mo Salah You’ got a chance of win in the league Haven you J me yeah and obviously I mean the next goal was always going to be important um but again transition um Tottenham are just sort of like all over the place and yeah I mean Liverpool I mean that’s just the timing of the movement you know making the right decisions at the right moments um just really clinical and a lot of the goals they look quite easy but then it’s the weight of the pass then it’s the connection here you see the weight of the pass here it’s the right timing just keeps himself on side and there a lot of players who make a make the wrong decision but you know he goes across goal gets fortunate gets lucky but it’s because they make the right decisions all the time and that’s why they scor so many goals and they have the numbers as well this is what I mean you have certain element of control but you’re also taking risks you you’re committing five players to go forward and then this was the one we saw yeah I like this goal um I mean any Young Center forward wanting to score goals just have a look at it’s a tiny thing but Mo Salah here I mean he’s left footed He could have swept it in with his left foot but I just thought I’d make a point of it here he’s got to really find that corner if he goes left foot you watch how close a goalkeeper gets when he hits his right foot he buys himself about an extra meter in the goal there by letting it come across as because he opens the angle more if he hits it early he keeps the angle closed and the goalkeeper gets and he’s got to really be precise lets it come across his body that then opens the goal a lot more so just a tiny little thing but as Jermain just said there goal scoring is about tiny matters and if you equate it to numbers then you giving yourself a far better chance of scoring a goal by making the right decisions and you have a look at this graphic now that he’s just entered the big league with some of the greats of of all time obviously with with Liverpool and he’s not slowing down is he well he’s gone to alltime Fourth today as you can see um in the list on to 229 but that last column is interesting Michael here is the fastest to any totally his minutes per goal is better than everybody else on that list yeah and that’s the hard bit to equate though isn’t it because all of those players are from a totally different generation so it’s very difficult to say when it was harder easier to score goals even my generation to this generation now it’s quite difficult to say right well who’s the best and who’s this from from you know 10 20 years ago so it’s quite difficult to do that but numbers don’t lie I mean it’s quite easy to say that he’s one of the alltime great already for Liverpool and as I say he’s not slowing down he’s not stopping if he signs a new contract then he’ll be in the top three but in no time and then maybe one day even threatening the a rush record I never thought I’d say that no uh just to put it into context with my good friend he’s ninth only eight people uh in history of Liverpool Football Club have scored more goals why you put me on the list then because the producer said top five nothing to do with me I asked for top nine but it wasn’t there anyway 158 goals later for Liverpool right here is the Liverpool manager who seemingly can do no wrong just one defeat since walking through the door at anfield Anna slot well Anna you said before the match might be a crazy one it was did you like almost everything you saw yeah uh almost indeed uh first 50 55 minutes is I think what you want uh except for the goal we conceded because uh yeah uh if you have so much dominance and you you might have gone in at halftime for a two with a 2-1 lead that would probably not have done Justice to um to the Quality we brought today then 3 one up and and it ended up being 5-1 yeah and then I think we all saw that uh we thought it was enough and therefore Tottenham has far too much quality if you’re not every second of the game on top of them they are uh able to create and score I know in your preparations cuz you said beforehand you’ve watched a lot of their games against the best sides and the biggest Club so you’ll know no one else has done that to them how did you do it yeah I think I said similar things before the game that um that in the games they’ve lost here against the bigger teams that they were all always very close to a result and maybe deserved some something more than they got I think today it was was clear that we deserved to win so that was a a very good performance for a large part of the large part of the game except for the 15 to 20 minutes where we fought we didn’t have to run anymore and then um in that period of time we couldn’t see the too yeah has that really annoyed you has it taken the gloss off that last bit a bit a bit it’s also a good warning for us to understand that if we’re on top of our game it’s very very difficult for every team to play against us but that is our strength it’s not only the quality and that maybe is useful this 15 minutes because they’re the same players with the same quality they don’t run the same anymore and then we can concede to but um yeah you can say this so many times unfortunately it didn’t hurt us today but in other moments it could so I mean you’re a big fan of an poao and what they do but in terms of your plan beforehand and how it was then executed where were the opportunities for you today where was the space I think against every team there is an opportunity uh because um if they press N9 and 10 you have 3v2 midfield if they go to 791 you have to bring a maybe a defender in the Midfield to have an overload if they go manf man which they did with the third goal uh then maybe if you win a jewel there’s only one player necessary to outplay someone and you have an extra man so it doesn’t matter which team you face there’s always an opportunity but there’s always a threat as well and uh I think that’s also what you saw today because they have a lot of quality players they have a very good idea about football if you give them a bit of space they can hurt you so much and um I’m not a fan in in in in that sense of the word of of of Ang but I like his playing style I like what he does and I I I’m not one of the guys one of the people that I think uh he deserves criticism for what he does because um he’s at a club uh where where normally normally they oh every Club has a chance to win something but they don’t win uh that much in the last 15 to 20 years here but what he does do is always enjoying def fense Maybe not today but in general he does I know these these questions about Mo Salah and Trent Virgil as well always sound a bit loaded but was particularly with the first two how how good were they today how good have they been throughout your time and we we are talking about world 11 players here aren’t we yeah yeah we do otherwise you don’t play for Liverpool so uh uh they should be uh one of the best players in the world uh or close to that otherwise you don’t play for such a big Club so that’s clear they were outstanding today especially if you look at most numbers two goals two assists it wasn’t that every other ball he touched was as brilliant as the two goals and the two assists but he played a very good game if you come up with two goals two assists and with Trent uh okay the focus might again be on this great cross he gave and uh with the first goal and and some other moments but I think playing against the sun is not always easy because he’s a threat and he defended him for almost the whole game very very very well since you first walked in has he really upped that part of his game Trend the defensive side yeah I think he he increased a bit but there are Still Moments where I think he can do better uh so I said it I think before the game uh Newcastle half hour he came in City he was outstanding Fulham was okay but for his standard not top but today he was again of the level that he played against City and and newcast so top at Christmas how significant is that you’re getting towards that halfway point where you said it makes a bit more sense to look at the league table Yeah it it tells you it shows you that we have a very good team of course uh still three three games to go for us halfway but uh if if you can go here and play the game we did then we are definitely uh a hard team and a difficult team to beat and that’s what we’ve shown till now but yeah this game also showed that um you can lose your momentum in 10 to 15 minutes let alone if you go for maybe two or three games with that intensity that we had in that 10 15 minutes so if it was easy to win the league everybody would do it and it isn’t because you have to be on top of your game every second uh that you play in the Premier League and um yeah a long way to go thanks Anna enjoy your Christmas thank you you too Point well there is but if he maintains the recent uh consistency 10 wins and two draws from the last 12 in all competitions uh they certainly won’t be far away his standards is interesting though when we spoke to him um after the the city game he alluded to that as well as delighted you can hear him there for 10 minutes we stopped running we conceded two goals yeah and it shows what can happen but as I say I take that with a pinch of salt in that they won’t stop running if they were playing against Arsenal today and it was 1-1 or nil nil they wouldn’t stop running it it was a strange game today you wouldn’t look at Liverpool and say oh that that you know that’s the way they play today there was far less control I guess um than than what we’ve been used to but that was down to the opposition I mean he’s so impressive whatever he says I’m Clinging On to every word listening to him he thinks about it he says it with an assurance a calmness he’s top class I think and the Liverpool fans if You’ asked them you know after Jurgen klopp the highs of Jurgen klopp everybody thought can only go one day but one way but it’s actually not it’s a continuation of Brilliance interesting let’s go back to the Tottenham hotsp Stadium Michael’s former teammate Danny Murphy uh waiting to speak to us good to see you Dan I mean I guess that was a privilege to be in the stadium for for that crazy game wasn’t it yeah good evening chaps it was because you get to see it don’t you firsthand when you hear the speed of Liverpool’s play the quality the running power that you were talking about um yeah I mean it was an advantage for Liverpool I suppose that five or six of them didn’t even travel midweek and Tottenham had the same 11 but the quality is there the Gap is obvious um brilliant performance and they were never never really in any trouble and how clinical were they well the the Liverpool front players are so such a threat um they’re all at it at the moment they all look a threat but Salah Salah doesn’t matter whether he’s playing well or not he end products unbelievable he picks the right pass he he’s there to put one in on the back post tap he’s always in the right place at the right time but I thought Diaz was outstanding he doesn’t stop and he’s got that game intelligence where he can play in that little deeper role as a 10 false nine whatever you want to call it um and they’ve got options cuz J’s back don’t get me wrong I thought Tottenham helped them massively in the first half I mean the positional play of I don’t know what he was trying to do with kulisy and son because Trent and Robinson were getting 2v ons all the time down the sides hence the first two goals coming from it and he was right I was right behind and and he couldn’t see it it was how obvious Trent was having a field day um so they absolutely took advantage of it and could have been 10 could have been 12 murf it’s Mo I hope you’re well mate um just watching the game looking at the you know potential hurdles let’s say for Liverpool do you see any I mean Manchester City probably blown it already so it’s looking like Arsenal and Chelsea but is it Liverpool that have to beat themselves now can you see them dropping away in any way it looks it looks pretty easy for them at the moment to me I think the only the only concern would be Virgil and mo Salah is the most reliable in terms of goals and assists and I think Virgil is the the Kingpin at the back I mean they haven’t been quite as watertight since kady’s gone got the injury although Gomez I thought did well today but if those two were to have a problem then you could potentially maybe other than that they look fit they look sharp they got competition for places the bench is good they can buy in January if they want one or two maybe reinforcements and I think although I agree with you I don’t I don’t think City are in it I think Arsenal probably the strongest Contender even though Chelsea a second at the moment and I think even Chelsea really defensively they still look like they can they can concede goals when I’ve seen them play I think Liverpool in a great chance mode they’ve got they’ve got it in their own hands to a degree and their home form as well I mean really really strong at home as which is key as well but I I don’t see um come the last couple of weeks of this season Liverpool not being in it at least that’s one of your former clubs it’s interesting to hear you saying you sat right behind an poster cogo today then where are we with Spurs are we at a point where there has to be a a proper sort of postmortem investigation here or do we just accept that it isn’t going to change and that’s what we’re going to see I I struggle with it I’m really strugg I mean I’m a bit like same as Cara’s opinion the other day it’s you can’t play that way where it’s just when you’ve got the ball when they haven’t got the ball I can’t see what they’re trying to do some of it’s man Forman some of it’s positional uh honestly I was lost and and at one point you’ve just got to make some decisions on the pitch to stop the the Avalanche of chances and the first half it was nonstop and he didn’t do anything and the players didn’t take responsibility I mean I don’t understand why any of the players weren’t saying to son look Trent’s running the game he’s get dictating play he’s running pasture he’s getting loads of possession at least stay with him for 10 minutes nobody does anything they they’ll have games where they destroy teams the other thing is when they go a goal down here the anxiety you could sense it their confidence was drained from the players and when they go a goal up it’s the opposite they really go after teams and everyone wants the ball but I’m I’m if I don’t see how it can keep going the fans were on the edge today at one point when it went to five if there have been another and they hadn’t responded this place would have emptied murf is JD um so do you think do you think the GE has got to take full responsibility because we can talk about obviously you know you know they concede a lot of goals and you know going forward they’re good and that but at some stage surely players as well you know you know you you have to take responsibility as players and show that sort of like that that football personality but do you feel like the manager has to take full responsibility in terms of how they play I think it’s always a balance JD there’s a there’s there’s a there’s a certain type of player that takes responsibility on the pitch IR relevant of the manager’s message and I don’t see too much of that going on you know even the other night against Manu he can’t he can’t be shouting on every five minutes to the keeper when to kick it and when to play out that’s got to be down to some of the you know players responsibilities and Leadership I agree with you but ultimately he sets the tone doesn’t he he sets the tone for the the way they play and I think it’s it’s not about offensively they’re great to watch but defensively in certain games it’s not every game sometimes they’re okay because they they’ve got the ball a lot and their confidence is up but I mean against good teams they’re going to get ripped apart because we’ve all played the game we know if you if you want to go man for man you have to have super fit players who can run all day and be concentrated for 90 minutes and and play weekend midweek weekend midweek it’s nearly impossible yeah Ma thank you very much indeed great to see you cheers chaps stay warm in that studio won’t you no expect any sympathy you’ve just had a ticket for the highest scoring game in the last three years in the Premier League which Liverpool won comfortably but as Danny was mentioning there the other side of the story is the Tottenham hot spur inquest we saw his body language today we saw his facial expressions he looked dumbfounded at times an Posta cogo Spurs have conceded six at home for just the second time in the Premier League era Spurs boss talks next
