Spurs Away thread

[Doc_Piptorious]

I think we'll crush them.

Nunez, Diaz and Salah all pressing the hell out of them and could be a bloodbath.

Yep they try to push their back line up like they did against Arsenal and our front line will punish them

Spurs away is one of the toughest fixtures of the season. Got to be full strength.

We need a good performance and to be super focussed on how we respond to going 1-0 down.

Klopp just needs to start his pre match team talks as though we are already 1-0 down

[Liverpool]

With Trent annoying that we have 2 league games before another international break, if they were lesser teams I'd rest him a few more weeks

Bajetic is out with a little calf niggle

Liverpool will, however, be without Bajcetic on Saturday evening, with the 18-year-old suffering a new calf injury which Klopp described as a “little setback.”

“Stefan had a little, little, little setback,” he explained.

“The problem with Stefan, we have to be really careful.

The problem with Stefan, we have to be really careful.

Says it all really.

[RichC]

He's just come back from a major injury.

It seems fairly sensible to be careful with him.

I reckon we should just kick the ball straight in our net at the start and get it oer and done with

Yep we need to be careful & look after the lad.

As per the OP's team I was wondering if Jones might finally be up for a rest. But since we don't have anyone with his energy (Szobo excepted) he is nailed on. I'd be surprised if it's more than 60 mins given our embarrassment of riches.

As per conceding first, one thing I've noticed is managers repeating the same mistake every game. It's no surprise we've won four games in a row with a 3-1 scoreline. It's fine to press us hard for 20-30 minutes like it's your CL final but after that your legs will go and we'll dominate the rest of the match.

I'm throwing Trent back in. Sounds like he'll be fit and if he's fit he plays imo. Otherwise same team.

Not sure this would be the best game for dropping Trent back into - Johnson is the type of Player Trent normally struggles with, especially when you have someone like Madison picking him out with those diagonals over the top.

Gomez has the recovery pace to deal better with this (at the expense of Trents attacking threat)

Oops - didn't notice Matip in SB's team. Ibou all day long. He's a must, surely.

Trent Vs Gomez is the only question mark for me

Endo was brilliant last game, but I think Jones deserves a start

Nice to have to make these decisions!

Johnson out, so likely to be Solomon starting.

Personally, I'd start Gomez for this, but if Trent is fully fit, it's tempting for Klopp to throw him straight back in, especially after his last performance.

However, Gomez has been playing well and his 'limitations' haven't necessarily blunted our attack. If we start Gomez and he struggles or we go behind, Trent is a great option to come on and change the flow of the game. If we start Trent and it backfires, our options are a bit more limited.

I don't think Klopp thinks like that though, he'll believe that if he picks his best team we win, so my gut feeling is Trent starts.

For me I’d like to see

Alisson
Gomez Matip VVD Robbo
Szobo Jones
Gakpo

It is a bit more defensive, but it would be nice to keep a clean sheet for a change.
