IAN LADYMAN: They came to bury
Igor Tudor. Metaphorically speaking‚ they had already dug the hole. But somehow‚ against enormous odds‚ the giant
Croatian left the field at
Anfield to a standing ovation from the supporters in the away end. There is some life left in
Tudor's spell as
Tottenham interim manager yet‚ life in his team's season perhaps. As for
Liverpool manager
Arne Slot‚ well who really knows? His team of champions - how odd it feels to say that now - are soft and meek and shockingly easy to play against. The door to the
Champions League places swings wide open for
Liverpool but somehow
Slot's failing team sit outside the weakest top four in recent
Premier League history. There are no excuses. Ahead after 18 minutes through a
Dominic Szoboszlai free-kick that
Spurs goalkeeper
Guglielmo Vicario really should have saved‚
Liverpool had the opportunity to sweep aside a team so weakened by injury and suspension that they couldn't even fill their substitutes' bench.
Spurs came to
Merseyside as the laughing stock of the
Premier League‚ a team that knew only to lose.
