Tottenham Hotspur Build up & Match Thread (a)

[brightred]

I'm of the opposite view. We have finally awoken in front of goal and even without Mane our pace is frightening. Spurs brand of football is exactly what we need right now. Alli is playing crap and no one else bar Kane and maybe Erikson are of any threat.

4-1 to us.

Kane is some threat though. Wish Klopp hadn't bigged him up during the week.

Hopefully it was reverse psychology and Kane will have a stinker as a result of trying to be world class!

Kane is ****ing quality, will be hard to stop him but I think Salah will have a stormer tomorrow.

Kane hasn't score a home league goal at Wembley. He hasn't scored a home goal against LFC. Spurs haven't beat us in 5 years (November 2012).

He's gonna score a hat-trick , isn't he?

I do genuinely expect him to score today, maybe 2, but I'm just banking on our forwards being on form and outscoring them.

I took him out of my ff team this weekend and replaced him with Jesus (as captain) so guaranteed a hat-trick today.

My fault - sorry

Ha, well to counter that, I captained him. 7 of my 8 captains this year have blanked, so I'm hoping that trend continues.

Liverpool XI: Mignolet, Gomez, Lovren, Matip, Moreno, Henderson, Can, Milner, Coutinho, Salah, Firmino.

Substitutes: Karius, Klavan, Alexander-Arnold, Grujic, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Solanke, Sturridge.

Excellent. Gini injured though?

[labourRed]

No Robertson again yet Sturridge and Solanke on the bench. So much for liking utility players on the bench.

I likey. Barring Klavan and Grujic look at bench!!

What has Robertson done, apart from play well

Haha, so he's being a hypocrite again?

You can't see why he would pick those ahead of Robertson?

I actually can't. Sturridge is being picked on reputation IMO. He's been poor most of the season bar one Leicester cameo.

[Fredo]

Milner and Gomez can cover the left back spot. Solanke gives us a different option, different to Sturridge for the centre forward position and can also play wide. You still can't see why Robertson would be down the pecking order?

[RedReet]

I actually can't. Sturridge is being picked on reputation IMO. He's been poor most of the season bar one Leicester cameo.

He's still a quality player than can help change a game. Got an assist against Maribor too. He's also the most natural replacement for Firmino if he was to get injured, even if you don't think he's good enough.
