The Athletic's Jack Pitt-Brooke, James Maw and tactics expert Michael Cox reflect on Spurs' 3-1 defeat to Liverpool.

They pick out the positive individual performances from the first half, and debate how the team should line-up in Harry Kane's absence.

They discuss the selection of Doherty at left-back, Mourinho's criticisms of his defence, and the incident in the dressing room at half-time.
