Tottenham v Liverpool Football Club - Saturday 15 Sep - 12.30pm - Wembley

[Case]

Just to move the conversation on from Cavani v Bobby and so on.

 

Spurs.

 

Alli has already 'withdrawn' from Englands squad and now Kane is going to be rested. Hendo, Gomez and Trent to play the full 90 no doubt.

 

Biggest game since Leicester.

I hope JK doesn’t bring back Lovren for this. I just know he’ll sh*t the bed again.

Lovren out for another month I read.

Well that sorts that worry out for me. Ta.

Salah, Mane, Keita, Van Dijk and Wijnaldum should all theoretically be back today in training as they all played on the weekend.

 

Robertson played last night and should also be returning soon and be fine for the weekend.

 

Southgate rumoured to be making 9 changes with Henderson and Gomez being rested so they should be fine as well. Trent may come on for England, but won't play the full match as Walker's rumoured to be starting so Trent will have a bit of time on the pitch but should *touch wood* be okay for Saturday.

 

Shaqiri may play his 2nd match in a few days for Switzerland tonight. He was fantastic for them against Iceland and may actually be a contender for this Spurs fixture.

 

Biggest worries for me are Alisson, Firmino and to a lesser extent Fabinho who play early morning Wednesday and will no doubt be privately flown to England to return Wednesday afternoon. Two days for them to get ready for another early afternoon fixture which the team does relatively poor in.

 

My team for Spurs:

 

Alisson

Trent Gomez Van Dijk Robertson

Wijnaldum Milner Keita

Mane Firmino Salah

 

Bench:

Mignolet (should recover in time with finger injury)

Shaqiri

Sturridge

Matip

Moreno

Henderson

Fabinho (assuming Klopp is now happy to include him a matchday squad).

 

Outside chance for Origi, Clyne, Solanke to make the bench as they've had a LOT of rest.

I saw on twitter last night that the Brazil team has been announced and there's no Liverpool players in it

Seleção Brasileira @BrazilStat

 

Brazil XI in training: Neto; Militão, Marq, Dedé, Sandro; Arthur, Casemiro, Coutinho; Costa, Richarlison, Neymar.

Cue - Richarlison better than Bobby cries from the Goodison Brains' Trust. DvD of this match to follow.

I don't think that's what NYR is saying. Wouldn't most people start Gomez for this one even if Lovren was fit?

Yes, and I would start Gomez too

 

But if Lovren is out for another month that is not good news.

[Earl Hafler]

PSG can have Lovren next summer for £60m

[Begbie]

Big game.....really sends down a marker if we win

[Guy_Incognito]

I hate playing Spurs. They seem to know how to play against us

[Earl Hafler]

They’ve beaten us once since 2012.

 

It’s a fixture I look forward to, particularly this season with many of their fan base having some ridiculous, Manc like sneering attitude towards us - I’ve seen loads on Twitter criticising us for having a sense of entitlement !

 

Some f***ing balls.

Really? It seems worse. Last season was pretty bad, like. Even though we should've won at home, I remember being on the ropes a bit.

 

But, f*** it, I'm all positive now

[Sion]

The away game last year was nowhere near the demolition the score made it sound like. Combination of Mignolet, Lovren, and Moreno made that happen.

What did Moreno do? Emre Can being a f***ing idiot was good as well.

Poor positioning for their first. Caught upfield for their second. Hardly a massive culpability, but he's guilty based on past endeavours

[Guy_Incognito]

Deffo. In fact I remember arguing that if we'd swapped keepers we'd have won 3-2 or something.

 

Right I'm all over this now. We'll s*** 'em

[Jim D]

The 2-2 draw at home was the first time in a long time I've been really mad after a match, I very rarely lose my cool but those two penalty decisions were shocking.

Yup especially after the Mo goal in injury time... Then that c*** linesman fist pump

[Earl Hafler]

Mr Moss.

 

Again

[Gethin]

Everyone back from Internationals OK except Lallana?

Appreciate the thought
