REDS LEGEND STRIKES AT THE BIG ANFIELD ISSUES

We need more leaders after comical ending

T was another step in the right direction for Liverpool on Saturday as they made it six games unbeaten with a 2-1 win over Tottenham Hotspur.

That might be the main takeaway from another positive result for Arne Slot but you have to say the final few minutes bordered on comical at times.

Look, it's three points, Arne Slot and his players are up to fifth and closing in on the top four with two very winnable games against Wolves and Leeds at home next, but it was concerning how little they were able to dominate, despite playing so long against 10 and then against nine.

It happened at Newcastle back in August too. When Anthony Gordon got sent off, it allowed Liverpool to go 2-0 up at St James’ Park but they never dominated and allowed the hosts back into the game that night, securing a victory with a dramatic, 100th-minute winner via teenager Rio Ngumoha.

And it nearly happened again on Saturday.
