Spurs build up

[Shaggy]

Bale running at Carra through the middle terrifies me. Skrtel's had a mare against him before but that was from right back. I'd restore Skrtel, although I don't think Rodgers will.

They're unbeaten in 12 and are dangerous away from home, but otherwise I feel confident. If Sturridge is back, alongside Suarez, Coutinho, Gerrard et al, we'll give them loads to think about.

[Tee]

I think we will end their run. Just a gut feeling.

No doubts they pose a big threat especially with Bale, but I just fancy us to beat them. I think Lucas' role will be critical in this game and reckon our front 3 will be too much for them. Suarez to steal the show from Bale.

[Chazza]

I think we can control the midfield and we have the players to get at the Spurs defence exposing the high line.

They play Inter on the Thursday which can only be a benefit to us.

I think playing Carra might help us as he's got the nouse to drop a bit deeper and we'll never allow as much space in behind as Arsenal did yesterday. Need Lucas and probably Henderson to stop them from getting a clear run on our back four though. At the other end Suarez and Sturridge could really expose their defence.

I predict that this will be another unlucky defeat or draw.

If we have a fit raring to go front three of Suarez/Sturridge/coutinho then we can get them on the back foot and cause them problems

Obv the big worry is bale.l think we have to start Henderson and I'd be half tempted to use him to double on bale when spurs have the ball...it would mean tho that Lucas and gerrard would have to work very hard in midfield

Think Allen will start this one again. Make use of the 2 DM strategy Rodgers talks about.

If Sturridge is back who would you leave out? Downing? He's been doing well recently.

Theres gonna be people on the bench that dont really deserve to be given Allen has played well in his last two, Hendo aswell, Sturridge, Coutinho etc which will be nice for once.

As long as we've got someone on the bench who can come on and chip in with a goal if needed as that's what we've missed really.

Makes sense. I still think we will struggle to deal with them on the break. On the plus side I would back Suarez et al. to give their high defensive line problems.

And Sturidge with his pace too.

[Gingawaria]

They should be more worried about Suarez than we are about Bale.

Quite looking forward to this, should be a good test.

[Fosterbloke]

Depending on where he shows up it will be -

Johnson vs Bale
Lucas vs Bale

Does Bale have a right foot out of curiosity?

This is when we need someone like razor Ruddock to sort Bale the pussy out. Leave him squealing on the ground like a big blouse.
