---------Tottenham v Liverpool OMT-------

i'd leave the back 4 as is and add another pace threat going forward, it's liverpool, Alli can handle it

actually, I know, I know, but think it through, throw Townsend in, yeah its Townsend, but look at their full backs, and the keeper (lol), and the centre halves

I agree on leaving the defence alone. Going forward, I would prefer N'Jie to Townsend

good shout, my preference for Townsend would be that he'd shoot at every opportunity, and there are better goalkeepers in my 2yr old's kindergarten class than Mignolet
 
I shook my head at so many of midribs posts over the summer. But none so much as his team for tomorrow. Utterly clueless or a wind up merchant. I got the latter!!

Anyways, I'll bet my only testicle, barring last minute injuries the team will be Loris, Walker, Toby, Jan, Davies, Alli, Dembele, Lamela, Erisken, Chadli, Kane

I'll even brave the bench with Vorm, Trippier, Rose, Townsend, Njie, Carroll, Winks

I'm pretty sure this will be it.

Indeed. Much more common in Scotland than Ireland, but from the sloinne Sean-Ghall (ancient-foreign [in this case, Norman] surname) de Creag. It's derived from the word for rock (carraig), so it's really equivalent to Peter.

edit: Michael Carrick's family name (de Carraig) is effectively the same name.

I would be very worried about playing Fazio against a side with mobile inside forwards and I do not like the idea of splitting up Verts and Toby. There is not a natural central midfield option available but I think that playing one of Dembele, Carroll or Winks would be a safer option.

Their front 6 will likely be

-----------Sturridge (Origi)
Coutinho---Lalana------Milner
-------Lucas----Can (Allen)----

Ibe could start on the right and Milner to the middle. Regardless, I am not that worried about their speed. They have not shown that all season.
 
Lloris
Walker Alderweireld Vertonghen Davies
Alli Dembele
Lamela Eriksen Njie
Kane

Vorm Wimmer Fazio Rose Trippier Townsend Chadli

I'd expect Pochettino to start Chadli ahead of Njie, but I'd prefer to see it happen the other way around myself.

Apparently Sturrdige is nursing an injury (shocker)

Their decent players but none of them other than Can and Milner look to me to be a player of the ilk that suits the counter attack/deep dressing game that Klopp employs. There also not particularly quick in that group with a few being quick enough but most being average so again it will be interesting to see how Klopps tactics evolve

Having spent £300m in recent seasons, Liverpool will just buy more players & hope for the best, I expect.
 
We have a poor record against Liverpool in recent years. We have lost the last 5 matches to Liverpool, scoring 4 and conceding 18 goals. But all those matches was when Liverpool was managed by Brendan Rogers. With them having a new manager now, hope we can improve our record against them. It is not going to be easy as they will be lifted by having a new and experienced manager like Klopp. After being winless in our last 2 matches, it will be great if we can win here. We did beat ManCity 4-1 in our last home match after losing in 4 previous matches against them. So, hope we will turn up with the right mentality in this match.

Kane has been in such a bad form this season that it is hard to see him scoring against Liverpool. But he did score a goal against ManCity albeit from the offiside position. So, maybe he can get another goal here. With Son injured and Chadli out of form, our options are limited when it comes to scoring goals. But we do have Eriksen and Lamela in good form now as they have scored 4 of our last 7 goals. If we want to get something from this match, we need to have Eriksen and Lamela in similiar good form. Eriksen's ability to score from freekicks going to be very crucial for us.

We are going to miss Dier badly in mdfield. He has done well as our defensive midfielder this season. Without him, we are going to face problem stopping Liverpool's attacks. Want Dembele come in for Dier and partner Delli in midfield. Delli has done well so far for us despite being only 19. Thought his lack of experience might be risky to play against big teams. But he did play well against ManCity. Hope he will show that form in this match.

It was disappointing to concede 2 goals against Swansea, including the own goal by Kane. Our defence need to step up their performance as can see Liverpool lifting their game for their new manager. Can see Lloris, Vertonghen and Alderwireld having a busy match. I think as long as we stop Coutinho and Sturride, we have a good chance to get a positive result in this match. Just hope we will avoid any silly mistakes like Kane's own goal against Swansea.

It is going to be a very difficult match. A draw against Liverpool won't be a bad result. But hope we can beat them and improve out standings in the league.
 
We're doomed I say! Doomed!

Tottenham v Liverpool (Saturday, 12.45pm)

Will Jurgen Klopp hit the ground running at Liverpool?
I think this is a hard first game for Jurgen Klopp. Everyone has been away on international duty, and I can see Spurs winning here.

He has not had enough time with the players to get his message across. It will be exciting seeing him in the dugout in the Premier League, but his mood in Thursday's press conference was different to his first conference. It's different over here, and he will need to get used to it.

PAUL PREDICTS: 2-1 (Sky Bet odds 17/2)

I'd get Dier to do the pre match talk... Tell them about how much everyone is against them and how they need to work as a team etc...
 
Any team news yet ?

It is going to be a tense match. Hope we will turn up with the right mentaity, put up a good performance and win !
 
Very important we get a win here. They have all the excuses lined should we "pull off a shock", "not read the script" or any of that b******s.
Really don't think he be a success long term. It's to much of a feel good, against all the odds rise to the top made for TV movie. That doesn't wash in the hard boiled world of the PL.
the press maybe sucking up to him just now, but I think it's with more than half an eye of the headlines gold that's to come.
