No Bassong and dance - Tottenham 2-1 Liverpool

Sure we lost poorly at the White Hart
Benoit bullet and Bassong’s precise dart

A lack of invention left the fans in a blur
Sleepwalking straight into the net cast by Harry Hotspur

Big Skrtel’s chin shattered to smithereens like glass
Yet El Pepe once again proved his class

Contest masked by a clear penalty disallowed
Still this can only be a momentary cloud

Some exploits really pained the grimacing Rafa
Mighty end of game rollicking from the gaffer

Injecting flair must be the long term plan
Eagerly await the emergence of the Aquaman
