yes it is very possible that the EFL is not something they are targeting so teams like Liverpool prefer to rotate and not show their true game. I still respect Tottenham who were able to win that game but the second leg is also very possible for The Reds if Arne Slot does something like in the Premier League.
Winning by one goal at home is actually very common for Tottenham and also very common for Liverpool even though Liverpool lost the game. But in the second leg I still doubt that Tottenham will win again at Liverpool's home unless Tottenham have improved their strength better than now. But if you look at the strength of the Liverpool team at this time, of course it is quite difficult for Tottenham to treat Liverpool at their home.
I thought Totenham was lucky enough. The ref was shite. I hope it won't happen in the Anfield.
Talking about the game, Liverpool missed so many chances, and hopefully they won't repeat it in their home game. I'm only wondering why people are worrying them too much. Just let it flow. We know how good Liverpool's quality in home game.
They have been losing phisicality combined with piss poor defense. They have to fix it in the second leg. There's enough time to fix their problem and boost their mentality.
You are right and I think Totenham was lucky because of played against Liverpool while they had many mistakes in this match, otherwise, Slot and his players could have easily beaten Totenham in this match.
Regardless of the result between Totenham and Liverpool in which Totenham won the game with a 1-0 result while I was not expecting to see it. The interesting thing about this match between Tottenham and Lvierpoowas is about the player of Liverpool, Arnold. While Arnold was one of the most effective players in Liverpool who got an offer from Real Madrid and he is about to leave his team, but Slot didn't use Arnold in the first squad because of the bad performance he recently had against Manchester United in which they got a draw in that game and Arnold had a disappointing performance.
