Spurs (A): Build Up

[el matador]

i am working away tomorrow so will miss the match ffs.

but i hope that we see the basics of what makes up klopp's philosophy

- hard working team
- plenty of aggressive pressing
- both fullbacks flying up and down the flanks
- much quicker defence to attack moves

its too early to see any sort of patterns of play etc... but I hope that the team give 100% and just go out and do their best. I dont think we will win because spurs also play a similar sort of game but theyve just had a lot longer to get used to it than we have.

I just want to see something even a tiny sign that kloppo has put some of his stamp on this team.

I just hope they are not over motivated to get stuck in, the way cards have been handed out this season we could end up with ten men in the first half.

I think something **** will happen. A really early red card, concede one or two ridiculous early goals, or we'll get absolutely thumped.

Who's the little fella and what's he carrying?

[kubrickscube]

Moreno/ snooker cue?

Or , after a peer at the staff, James French (sports analyst) and a pull down screen for a projector?

He played Kehl, who's kind of like the German Lucas - a cool head who isn't very mobile. He probably won't have a large role in the long term, but needs must.

Since everyone else is doing one, my own wild guess:

Mig
Clyne Skrtel Sakho Moreno
Lucas Can
Milner Coutinho Lallana
Sturridge

Previously I would've had Ings off Sturridge, and Coutinho where Lallana is, but Coutinho's now the only healthy one in the squad who can play that sort of second striker role. I expect the two will interchange quite a lot anyway, while Milner keeps the width on the right.

That is not Moreno, he was pictured carry a LV man bag

[kingfunk]

Who is going to step in for Coutinho?

Ah good shout - my first thought for the tiddler was wee Joe except for the fatal flaw that he looks nothing like him.

[danperkins]

Tbh, in normal circumstances I'd say we were playing them at an ideal time based on the players they've got missing. They're missing the heart of their team right there.

yeah delighted Son isn't playing, very good player. That midfield of theirs looks light. Eriksen is man we have to watch out for, great little player.
