Match Thread - Tottenham Hotspur vs Liverpool FC - PL

[Nick Real Deal]

Interesting selection at the back. Davies fit is a bonus.

I did wonder about a back 3 with 2 wing backs once I heard Rggie was out.
Let’s s see if it works...

 

[Spesh-Spur]

No Sissoko so Rodin will have to help Aurier out, depending which Aurier turns up!?

Will he be Brain dead or Brainless tonight.....

 

[Gary Onedaysoon]

So, is it Doherty as left wing back? Or Doherty on the right of the three CBs with Davies as the left wing back? Neither option fills with much optimism.

Great to see Jose has stuck with Ndombele in the centre.

Fabinho is not in Liverpool's team which is a result. Presumably Henderson is moving to the CB position.

I do wonder if it'd be Aurier+Berg on one side and Davies+Doc the other. Can Doc play LHS?

Would have preferred Toby to dire.... Bergwyn needs a goal... Need to attack attack attack ...no mercy

 

[Critical_Spur]

Great to see Jose has stuck with Ndombele in the centre.

Hopefully in the engine room and not chasing shadows (pressing) up top alone!

 

[Gary Onedaysoon]

Ndombele's form won't have gone unnoticed in Liverpool's ranks. I think we should expect him to be hit hard in the early stages of the game, particularly with Milner included.

I just hope the referee is strong enough to stamp on it immediately.

I doubt it. He can't even play RWB.

 

[Critical_Spur]

I doubt it. He can't even play RWB.

ha ha. I was thinking as the anchor man so Davies makes the runs up field. A reverse of Reggie and Davies pairing.

 

[total spurs]

Shows what he thinks of bale if he is playing a rwb at lwb instead of him

 

[Greavswasthegreatest]

Hope Aurier been practicing his crosses.....Doc will be the anchor man on rhs?

Brain dead practices his crosses every time he is bloody picked to play.....

 

[Gary Onedaysoon]

Possibly but I think Jose likes Davies as the LHS of three CBs.

 

[Critical_Spur]

I'd cut him some slack....only if he heads another in the net!...not from his own cross mind!

So you think he will cope with Rpobertson Bombing down the wing...I don't unfortunately

I expect that of course. But concerns me that with neither of the WB's having an end product, could be hoofball and a long night.

Like I replied to Gary (last post), I think they will be under strict instructions from Jose, not to venture too far north. Defend first and foremost.

Here's hoping for good interchanging and passing amongst the midfiled and AM's.

 

[Greavswasthegreatest]

Critical the point is Brainhead is so much more dangerous in and around our penalty area (for the opposition) I physically cringe when he goes to tackle in the our defensive third!
