Oh yes, we are definitely conceding in this one. I just hope it’s not that *unt Richarlison that scores it.

Press conference:

  • Injury news: Alisson has been with physios. Hopeful in training but not 100% sure.
  • Form compared to last year against Spurs: Big difference but looking forward to game.
  • What to achieve this season: Every single player gets maximum out of every session. (avoiding question about league and cups)
  • Bar was set high last season: Bar is always high at Liverpool. Still in two cups.
  • What is Alisson injury: felt muscle when passing the ball. Minor issue but definitely back against Gala if not Sunday.
  • Chiesa back in training.
  • Isak: Rehab rather than training with team.
  • Next league victory will be landmark (1500th league victory): Players want to achieve something.
  • Gravenberch: Important player for club (hence new contract) has improved and has ability to grow. Model is to sign young players and let them develop.
  • Lots of goals vs Spurs? Different managers so hard to compare. Games tend to be open. Not so common. Expecting different Spurs from a year ago.
  • Expectations to win due to poor Spurs form: We are expected to win all home games.
  • Why are so many players underperforming? Good individual performances come from good team performances. Conceding against Gala changed momentum. Not our best game. We have struggled all season in converting chances. Expecting improvement with two home games coming up.
  • Hungarian question - Kerkez: Played well against Galatasaray but received yellow card. Subbed to avoid red. Didn’t risk as Robbo capable of covering.
  • Why did PL clubs struggle this week in Europe? Only one matchday. Lack of Winter break doesn’t help. Most PL teams were playing away. Still small margins.
  • Rio - minutes and balancing act: Treated Rio carefully so not too much time (stress fractures etc). He could start for us and definitely an option.

TLDR: Alisson may be available. Chiesa fit again. Spuds Sunday.

Spurs are shite, we should win this easily.

They’re fighting relegation, club in chaos, team’s in a shambles, manager winless and clueless.

0-1 to them, then.

Hopefully Ali is fit to start, if not then it’s Mama again.

I’d be tempted to drop Konate, start Robbo ahead of Kerkez and drop both Salah and Gakpo. That’s probably not going to happen though.

I do wish and think Frimpong starts at RB. Probably with Konate, Virgil and Kerkez in defence.

In deeper midfield now it’s clear that Gravenberch and a recently somewhat improved Mac Allister will start. Jones still should play more in my opinion, but something could be going on.

Between the lines it becomes interesting, as the other night I wasn’t happy with any of the 3 who started there.
