Potential six-pointer this one, given both teams are joint top for now. Expecting a completely different side turning up, with all players raising their respective games for this one. A loss here can potentially put one of the sides out of top four.
Won’t take a draw here personally, given it’s at Anfield. A win would be a huge morale booster and a nice reminder to the rest of the league that we are still in the mix, if the current league table in itself isn’t an indication.
Team picks itself for now. Matip the only concern which would mean probably Phillips in for him. Would be a huge test against the likes of Kane and Son, who are in some good form at present.
Expected line up: Alisson – Trent, Matip, Fabinho, Robbo – Hendo, Gini, Curtis – Salah, Bobby, Mane
If Matip doesn’t make it, would you trust Rhy or would you prefer Henderson in the backline? Nat is too slow for the trickery of Son, so I wouldn’t want him.
It’s gonna be a shit game for nerves, we already know that.
We’ll have 60-70% possession, Spurs will camp out at the back and wait to pounce on the counter.
They’re in form, we’re somewhat not, but we are still even stevens in the league on points. We usually show up for these big ones, and given that we played so shit yesterday, it’s even more likely we turn up.
Fans will be in at Anfield too, think that will only help us. Fulham fans certainly helped them yest I feel.
I mean the names are pretty interchangeable these days. Inconsistent halfwittery.
Spurs have some of the best attacking players in the league. I don’t think Mourhino has quite beaten that out of them yet but I’m expecting a jumbo sized double decker of a defence.
If Matip is back to partner Fabinho in defence I would be confident, but with Rhys or Nat up against Kane and Son not so much, I expect us to play like we did against wolves.
I fucking hate Spurs, btw. HATE them. If we don’t win this, I’ll be inconsolable. Not even @SBYM will be able to cheer me up with his cheddar cheese and pineapple on a stick bit.
