Tottenham Hotspur vs Liverpool, Premier League, Sat 11 Jan, 17.30

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

They're not in great form, Kane is injured but you know that old b******s Mourinho. This will be a tough one.

 

Who's out?

 

Lovren

Matip

Milner

Fabinho

Shaq

Keita

Clyne

 

Spurs - Lloris, Rose, Ndombele, Kane, Davies

 

No f***ing about, City play Sunday at Villa but have the LC midweek vs ManU and then we have 8 days till ManU at Anfield, so 2 games for us between now and the 19th, City have 3 (Tues, Sun, Sat - cue conspiracy theories), United have 4 with the LC & FAC so a win would be boss (as is every win).

Can see Mourinho pulling some look-at-me stunt and having Vertonghen and Dier man-marking Trent and Robbo.

They’re shaky at the back, unbalanced in midfield but Son and Lucas are very dangerous.

Takumi Minamino treated like a dog

Can't see it, groin usually means a few weeks 

[Gethin]

Can't see it, groin usually means a few weeks 

Yeah, I'm not expecting any of Matip, Lovren, Milner, Keita, Fabinho or Shaqiri to be available for this. Which means it almost picks itself.

 

Allison

The Back 4

Hendo, Gini, Lallana or Ox

The Front 3

 

Adrian, Neco, Phillips, Jones, Lallana or Ox, Minamino, Origi

[Case]

Thought Shaqiri was close to fitness. Might be available.

[Gethin]

Thought Shaqiri was close to fitness. Might be available.

Not sure he gets in the squad over any of those if there’s any doubt over his fitness

I had expected a few to be close to ready.

Of course, yes. But if fit, you'd expect him to be on the bench I'd have thought, possibly for Minamino/Jones

[Gethin]

Why risk him - save him to batter the Mancs the week after. Minamino and Jones would be better use of the playing time if that situation arose.

Ox back ..fab and shaq back to training this week #LFC

 

A few asking about Naby Keita ..apparently 3/4 weeks out with that groin injury #LFC

 

 

BBC - Martin Atkinson will take charge of #LFC's trip to face #THFC

True enough.

You’re right. He doesn’t come back quickly from that injury.

[Big Red Machine]

Wonder if he's thinking Ox starts?

 

We're running out of first team midfielders at the moment.

Fabinho starts training this week apparently

But we may go 4231 with Minamino behind Firmino if we are that tight

[Nerik]

Fabinho and Xherdan Shaqiri could be ready for Tottenham on Saturday. They will return to full training this week. (Neil Jones)

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

Luckily no midweeks for the next couple of weeks as we really have no LB cover for Robbo; I can possibly see Lallana being shoehorned in there if needs be. Laoruci is too raw for Spurs, ManU or Wolves

[Barnesy_10]

Keep Fabinho in the bank for United I reckon

 

Great to have him back and don't think we need to rush him into the first game.

[Hightown Phil]

Would ease him in a bit slower than that myself. Maybe give him 90 in that FA Cup game as his first start unless we lose another centre back in which case he'd have to play there.
