There are some players who you do not notice in a game such as Carrick and some players you do notice in a game such as Taarabt and both types rarely give you anything but always the pundits can give you clips on MOTD to show how great they are.

Not sure where you've got that from, they're nothing alike at all.

Deep or double?

Falque can pass the ball whereas Taraabt was a pure dribbler.
El Guepardo
Rafael Van Der Vaart
This thread is a mess! We have chat about Falque, an early and minimalistic first post, we have a post about a former player and more besides!
We will lose at this rate 6-0!
I'm most worried by Sterling, Suarez and Shelvey. I think those three will bring the most danger.

Luka Modric
This looks good.
Knowing that Siggy was also looked at by Liverpool, he should be fired up for this one so I'd like to see him get some game time too.
We'll need Dembele and Bale to help out with the defence. Lennon, Dempsey and Defoe in a lop sided attack will cause them havoc.

Whilst I was all for Dawson being selected against Wet Spam and he did do reasonably well, surely you cannot want him up against Suarez??
If you were to select a player in the league that would cause Dawson the most problems... then Suarez would either be top of the list or pretty close to it.
I am not saying any of our other CBs could cope with Suarez easily (only Ledders seems capable of that), but lets be honest here.... Suarez would run rings around Dawson.
Has to be Gallas & Caulker for me.

I agree that even though Dawson was amazing on Sunday I would still be worried about him up against Suarez..
I have no real solution though cos I think Gallas has just recently had his "Ledley King at Norwich" moment and I don't trust him anymore AND the alternative is Vertonghen & Caulker with Naughton LB and although he's proved (from his loan at Norwich) that he is capable of playing in the Premier Legue I still don't think Naughton is the finished article yet. He seems to panic and make mistakes when closed down and put under pressure (not helped by being right-footed at LB)
GHod when is BAE back!?

When is Kaboul back? He almost seems like a forgotten man. I want him and JV at the back!
I don't trust Caulker or Dawson as I think Suarez will turn either of those far too easily.

Parker and Ekotto are back training, just need to build up their fitness and show they're not having any more problems with their injury. Sandro isn't even injured.

Spurs v Liverpool
There’s four points between the teams and, like us, Tottenham are making heavy weather of Europe. They have a new manager trying to impose his ‘philosophy’ on the team, like us, and also like us they have a long-term injury to their key central midfield player. This will be a tight one.
Last year it wasn’t. At the Lane we were undone by pace – specifically Charlie Adam’s utter lack of it. On two occasions he was slow to get to the ball and took the man himself. When Skrtel followed him down the tunnel before half time the rest of the match turned into a joke. But even in the brief period of it being 11 v 11, Spurs showed enough pace and movement to suggest we were in for a long afternoon.
We’ve got better since then.
And since then they have lost their second best player but, against expectations, managed to hang on to their best one. If Liverpool fans needed any reminding of the extraordinary talent that is Gareth Bale yesterday’s romp v West Ham came as a nasty jolt. It’s rare to see such impeccable balance at such terrific speed or such an ability to improvise when options are narrowing. Liverpool will do well to restrict him. With a premium on speed there’ll be no place for Sahin in our side and once again it’s likely that Joe Allen will be asked to man the midfield ramparts single-handedly, as he has done for most of the season. Don't worry Joe, Lucas will be back soon. Then we'll have two players who can turn on the ball in the first third.
The Defoe shot, possibly the most lethal in the league over the last 3 years, was also given an airing v West Ham. (It’s a safe bet he’ll be given at least once chance to unwind on Wednesday. Fortunately for us Pepe is looking agile and full of belief.) And Lennon proved, again, that he’s a more competent player than many are willing to give him credit for. It’s clear to see that they have a strong and experienced squad. Missing not just Parker but Dembele too, Tottenham are able to field replacements of the quality of Huddlestone and Dempsey – while still leaving the once coveted Gylfi Siggurdson on the bench. Having said all that it was West Ham yesterday. Flying high, but only like a bubble flies high.
Tottenham’s weak spot is clearly their defence. There’s no armour-plating there. Caulker is error prone and nervous, Gallas is trading off his accomplishments at Chelsea all those years ago and Kyle Walker is yet to produce his first tackle in the Premier League. Will Suarez and Sterling capitalise? Much will depend on who plays at the point of the midfield triangle (in the absence of Parker there’s some scope for us there) and whether Enrique continues his vein of form on the left wing.
This will be our third match in 6 days. Sensibly a key number of players were rested for the Young Boys game so we shouldn’t be quite as jaded as we definitely would have been if Brendan had gone all out v Berne. I’m slightly more confident of a win than I was for the Swansea match, but will admit that a draw is more likely. Our lads keep saying that the wins are coming and that team confidence is high. I’m glad to hear it. Now let's see less of the mouth and more of the money. A win on Wednesday would mean a decent month being turned into an excellent one. Come of Redmen!
