Well, that was certainly a football match. Tottenham Hotspur got the brakes beaten off them by league-leading Liverpool, losing the match 3-6. Yes, that is the correct scoreline. Strangely, I’m sanguine and not even mad about this result — Liverpool are very good, played exceptionally well today, and Spurs were missing about half their team and are running on fumes. And they STILL put three past Liverpool, and could’ve had four or five.
There are going to be some FEELINGS after this one but I think there’s ample opportunity for some very nuanced ratings. Except for Radu Dragusin, that guy had a ‘mare.
It’s time to rate the players.
Rate the players from 1⁄2 to 5 stars. If the player doesn’t deserve a rating due to minutes played, DO NOT RANK. I will round the stars up/down to the nearest half-star for the player ratings later this week.
