Spurs (h) build up

[captainfog]

I'm really nervous, guts doing cartwheels. Not because I'm worried about Spurs (they are ****), but because this game feels particularly significant after yesterday's results and I don't really know how the team is going to react to the pressure.

I know what you mean, I think today we're going to see what the team is made of - real championship contenders or a team not capable of dealing with the pressure of it all.

For my money I really fancy this side is up for the challenge, that great mix of experience with Agger & Gerrard, the will to win of Suarez and the youthful fearlessness of Sterling & Coutinho.

[Roboklopp]

Mr Casemore, your avi says it all.

[Fredo]

We've coped with everything that's been thrown at us this season up to now.

[Fosterbloke]

How many league (any) winners do we have in the squad?

[Fredo]

Kolo.

[RichC]

Sturridge with Chelsea (bit part) Suarez with Ajax but only Kolo for the PL title.

Which is exactly what Dim Sherwood said

[Norbs]

Still a relatively new squad too. Skrtel the 2nd most experienced player with around 175 games for us. Amazing really

[Exiled_red]

Sturridge with Chelsea (bit part) Suarez with Ajax but only Kolo for the PL title.

Also Johnson (PL, Chelsea), Skrtel (Russia), Agger (Denmark) and Cissokho (Portugal)

Edit: Did Lucas win the league in Brazil?

This a good point IMO. We have lot of players under 25 who'll use this experience. Mignolet, Flanno, Sakho, Coutinho, Allen, Hendo, Sterling and Sturridge are under 25 and crucial members of this first team. This experience will very valuable for them. Lucas and Suarez are also at a good age so if we keep this team together for the next four years we'll see something exciting happen IMO.

[Liverpool]

Sakho?

[The_weatherman]

Sakho?

He just turned 24 this february not crucial OK but he's part of the team and if Agger slips up he'll be right back in.

I can't quite describe this feeling.
