Spurs head to Anfield and come away with a point — and for once the conversation after the match isn’t entirely doom and gloom. The CADS panel reacts to Tottenham’s draw with Liverpool, looking at a performance that showed fight, organisation and a bit of belief after a tough run of results. We talk about Igor Tudor’s tactical setup, the reshuffled lineup, and encouraging displays from players like Richarlison, Archie Gray, Spence, Sarr and Souza. There’s also discussion around refereeing decisions, VAR frustration, the continuing injury problems, and whether this result could finally give Spurs something to build on. With big fixtures still ahead — including Atletico Madrid and Nottingham Forest — the question becomes simple: was this a turning point, or just a brief moment of relief?
