Away to Spurs and this game before Christmas has created some positive outcomes especially during the Klopp years.
Frank will it looks still be there, though there is still time for them to sack him and give Tactics Tim Sherwood a call so he can throw his Gilet at someone.
Concerned about Dom for this one. Presumably CB will be back.
The most important match of the season!
I would like to see some more improvement.
I’d expect us to go narrow 4-2-3-1 again with maybe a change or two within it, obviously Bradley in for Gomez. We’ll see what the team news are since Brighton, maybe it’s not that bad. If Szobo’s was serious, then he would’ve been taken off?
Sometimes it’s only clear later. Slot said Szoboslai’s was serious after the game.
Let’s hope Spurs is as shite in goalscoring as Brighton …
If Szoboslai is missing we’ll be down to 2 senior players on the bench. That’s assuming Kerkez is ok.
Luckily it is a more spaced out period than a usual Christmas period. Lets see anyhow.
What’s happened to Endo?

I’m sure that Arne and his team will know the personnel, formation and tactics to see us through this game. COYR YNWA
Picked up an ankle injury against Leeds, out for a few weeks.
Guess it’s Nyoni time.
We’re fucked!
Our record with Brooks as ref is W4 D1 L3
With Attwell as VAR it’s W13 D5 L3
Haven’t seen any injury updates since the weekend, most important being Szobo. Have to assume Gomez’s hamstring will have him out at least a month.
Out: Gomez, Leoni, Endo, Gakpo, Salah, Baj
Maybe: Szobo, Frimpong (should at least be on bench if he trains all week)

Bradley. Konate. Virgil. Coin flip on Kerkez/Robbo.
Jones. Gravy.
MacAllister.
Wirtz, Hugo, and one of: Chiesa or Isak. Know who I’d choose, but also know who Slot will choose.
Depending on how the match flows, might be seeing some young ones get minutes off the bench. Nyoni, Rio.
Don’t see it happening this week, but am hoping sometime over the festive period tosee a front 4 of Szobo, Wirtz, Hugo, and Frimpong.
He’s been Slotted firmly on the bench
