** OMT Tottenham Hotspur V Liverpool **

[diego_maradona]

You think Les "I don't believe in DMs" Ferdinand influenced his thinking?

 

[Mumorn]

I'm going for pool by a landslide. ho is Winks btw?

Good youngster who scored against Arsenal two days ago

 

[Kingdawson]

I'm sure the immense Spurs support in this thread will keep me entertained if the game doesn't.

Do you like that line up?

 

[stinkfoot]

We can do this .

6-7 Bobby Soldier with the winner!

 

[billyiddo]

What if this ritual is in fact a curse and the reason why we keep on getting battered by Top 3 sides this season :-#

 

[lescouser92]

I think it's fair to say with both line ups, there might be a few goals today.

 

[milo]

Absolutely stupid lineup.

Presumably Sandro and Dembele aren't fully fit

 

[Bonsaiboy]

We've all been there, just when we think we're really getting somewhere we go and lose to an average team with a manager out of his depth - what happens to us must surely happen to Liverpool sometimes... hopefully.

 

[Rorschach]

Presumably Sandro and Dembele aren't fully fit

Maybe but they are fit enough for the bench then they are fit enough to start

 

[stinkfoot]

Spurs v Liverpool

Lloris

Naughton, Kaboul, Vertonghen, Rose

Bentaleb, Sigurdsson

Lennon, Chadli, Eriksen

Soldado


SUBS: Friedel, Dawson, Dembele, Sandro, Townsend, Winks, Kane.​

Are we guessing that Sig will be deeper like that or could it be 4-1-4-1?

 

[Spursman]

Rediclious team selection!

Gonna watch the game behind my sofa

That's not true though, is it? Most teams will put players who aren't 100% fit on the bench

 

[AdamB]

Weakest CM partnership in the history of football. How long does is take Sandro to get fit? He returned from injury weeks ago - surely he's ready now?!? Or is it just that we're not allowed to pick a DM nowadays even if he is one of our best players. Daft midfield selection, even setting aside the fact that they'll have 3 in there against our two

 

[Mumorn]

Do you like that line up?

It's brave.

Defence and goalkeeper is as good as it can be. Bentaleb doesn't really deserve to be dropped, has heart desire and good work rate. Sigurdsson will need to work hard but he's playing in his best position now, just hope they get support in the middle.

Only negative in the side is Lennon, but not really sure what we could have done with Lamela out.. Perhaps an unfit Dembele.

 

[Viper]

Presumably Sandro and Dembele aren't fully fit

Bentaleb isn't 'fit' to wear the shirt

That's how the OS has the line-up for today.

Whether it is correct or not remains to be seen.

 

[milo]

I'm taking solace in the fact that most pre-match OMT outcries over team selection under Sherwood have proved to be completely wrong.

 

[stinkfoot]

Bentaleb isn't 'fit' to wear the shirt

That's a ridiculous comment.

 

[Nigeyman]

Well that cm pairing has passing prowess but he should have put some bite in their imo.

 

[billyiddo]

If we aren't able to start with a dedicated DM (what's happened to Capoue btw?) we might as well have chucked two forwards on and gone for broke in trying to outscore them
