Joe Cole set for Liverpool comeback against Tottenham

[cream]

ngog, lucas, maxi . . . . . . 3 players who i love to rip to shreads as they are not good enough for my team.

this was my train of thought on all 3 players for the majority of thier time here. . . . . . i thought i am not ashamed to admit i got wrong.

for the past year and a bit lucas has been one of our most consistant and best players and must IMO start against spurs.

ngog is never going to be a world beater and if he leaves us it will be to a mid table team at best BUT he is playing better than i ever expected him to this year and is exactly what torres needs - a big man to take the bumps and be the "target" man. 442 is the way to go with our players for sure and its shown with our best performances being in this formation and as such ngog must start against spurs.

maxi - goddam it - has been **** since we bought him but he is again improving like ngog. whilst he too will not leave us for a club any better than say a wigan, he is one of our best performers of late and IMo must also start.

for me cole (the original subject of this thread) should start from the bench:

pepe

johnson
carra
skittles
konchesky

raul
lucas
kyut
maxi

ngog
torres

All three are good squad players, none of them are starters though, our squad is mostly like that though.

Put Kuyt up front with Torres, I wouldn't play Ngog for the spurs game, start Cole he may start well, if not Maxi will be there to take over. Hope the line-up looks like some of the ones in this thread, a Lucas/Meireles center-mid.

I think we'll need Kuyt and Jonson on the right to counter Bale.

Ngog is a star. His pace and movement creates problems for defences and makes space for Fernando Torres to be more effective. And is he not still our top scorer? He's quality and Torres needs him

Not sure i'd make the change, personally.

Maxi's been good lately and Kuyt too. Unless you move Dirk up front, but N'Gog hasnt done anything to deserve being dropped.

The only change i'd make for Spurs is Lucas back in for Poulsen and Aurelo instead of PFK.

Definitely. I would not bring him in just yet but Lucas for Poulsen and Fabio for Konk seems no brainer but then again it is Roy so you never know..

100% Craig

Leave him on the bench to improve his appetite. We've looked better without him TBH.

Same team vs West Ham but Lucas and Aurelio to come in!

How exciting is it to think that Fabio could be playing starting in a first team match!! And PFK to sit on the bench

Common sense would dictate that Aurelio, when fit, should be the first choice cause he is positionally better, better tackler, better passer, faster etc and still I'm convinced Konk will be given a chance and not Fabio

You can accuse Roy of many things but having a common sense is not one of them.

No thanks

He needs to sit of the bench and remind himself what a privilege it is to play for LFC

Depends on how ill his wife is really ,She's been taken ill with suspected meningitis so depends whether or not he will have the all clear because if she does have they will have to treat the whole family as I know this from experience , it's only a precaution of course ,But he did mention today how he loves this club different to others from the support he received , There's also a MRS J that works at the club that took care of his baby daughter while he was in today .
