Spurs (A): Build Up

[SB]

Oh and it's 945pm Saturday night KO over here in QLD.

[Corndog]

You never know though, sometimes the appointment of a new manager gives them all extra motivation or belief.

Klopp was definitely right about the squad lacking belief, i.e against Sion when the equaliser went in.

[Daffy Duck]

Are Benteke, Ings and Firmino back for this one?

Yeah it's brilliant time. Perfect drinking klopportunity!

God, I am foaming at the mouth for this, shame it's such a **** kick off time. Have no idea what's going to happen. We'll be fired up like crazy but not sure if that's gonna lead to an excellent performance, an early red card or us just running round like mad men as he's barely had a chance to coach anything in to them!

[Frenchie]

He only has 2 days to work with the squad and pick a team.... so 0-4 then..

[BigChief]

OMG are we playing Spurs? I totally forgot.

I'm sure I will again before next weekend.

Anyway back to the Jurgen jizzfest.

Edit:

Fck me I never go to opposition forums unless its 1) Redcafe or 2) our youngsters are playing on loan there. But I thought I'd have a look at some of the jealousy out there and there isn't that much in Arsenal Mania or Redcafe. But the Spurs one, oh my God! They hate us with a passion. A case of a little brother who will never grow taller or better looking but kicking up dust anyway. They only have one thread to cover all LFC chat (sensibly) but the mods have called it LOLERPOOL. Mature. Anyway, suffice to say I won't be going back there again just like I wouldn't slap my obnoxious little brother as he's meaningless in my life plans.

One thing I have gathered (apart from us getting tonked 3-0 or more obviously) is that Dier and Son are unavailable. Their CBs are likely to be Alderweirald and Vertongen. Both having poor games from what I remember of them this season. We might concede but I'll be disappointed if our strikers aren't having a field day.

[Bender]

Sturridge, Moreno, Lucas, Toure and Enrique should take apart in the Training this Morning alongside players from the U21.

Klopp will though have James Milner in attendance after Roy Hodgson rested him from England duty.

Klopp will find LFC training ground replete with injuries with Henderson, Coutinho, Lovren, Firmino and Benteke all with knocks.

Jurgen Klopp will arrive at Melwood this morning to take his first LFC training session.

[RedReet]

Feels like the longest International break ever.

Two weeks ago I got the offer of a couple of tickets to this game from a mate who is a spurs season ticket holder. I snaffled them up and said to my mate "I bet this game is the first with a new manager". Can't wait for it even though I don't think we'll win the game.

I'm probably not expecting a win, & I inow Kloppster won't have much time with the squad this week but what the hell. It's still more exciting than beige football.

Most interesting team selection for years - what formation will he go with? Will there be any shock inclusions in the squad (as he's been watching the U-18s and U-21s as well as the first team)? Will we go straight into trying to play his pressing game or will he wait until he's had longer to work on the training pitch?

Don't think we should expect too much too soon, but this is where it starts. Exciting times ahead.

Very intriguing. I think he'll try to introduce some pressing right from the start. I reckon we'll see Can/Allen alongside Lucas with Coutinho - Milner - Ibe infront of them. IF Enrique is looking good, I could see him play Moreno on the left wing, he's direct and mobile so could be a good fit.

[Phoenix07]

We'll probably see more attempts at closing down (nothing structured) as a natural by-product of a new manager coming in, and the players wanting to impress. We'll probably see an increase in tempo too for the same reason.

[Alex]

I think, through no reason other than hunch. That we will see more players in the side who wernt away on international duty.

So Moreno, Sturridge, Gomez, Lucas, Milner now he is back and stuff like that. More time to go over what he expects of them.
