Pre-Match: Liverpool v Spurs Tuesday 10th Feb 8pm

Front 3 of Marko, Couts and Studge looks tasty and extra firepower from Ibe as Wing Back.

Gerrard as DM doesn't inspire me with confidence. Poor Hendo will have his work cut out covering for him. Cue Fed ranting!

Big blow to be without Raheem and Lucas. Stu is still not fully match fit. This will be a tough game trust me.

1:1 I predict.

Sturridge to start tonight, ibe further forward with markovich back in as RWB

Rumours are Stevie starts in the deepest mf spot with hendo alongside him, seems we're reverting back to last seasons "blitzkrieg" with 2 tricky speed merchants up top.

Migs
Can
Skrtel
Sakho
Ibe
Stevie
Hendo
Markovic
Cou
Raheem
Studge

Sterling has been ruled out, debs.
Markovic would be my choice.

With injuries etc. would probably now go with this instead

             Mignolet
    Lovren     Skrtel     Sakho
Markovic   Can     Hendo    Moreno
       Ibe          Coutinho
            Sturridge

Can to protect back 4 / be solid down the middle. But with good attacking options.
Not sure BR would play Ibe further forward, even though he looked confident with the ball in the final third vs Everton.
Wouldn't start SG, need to be high energy which is a pity Sterling's out

i agree with bringing Lovern back in the team, he needs to be brought back slowly...

I like this team... Can in midfield, Ibe up top... YES!!

Yea I would agree with this team as well actually. Unless there is a particular reason why Lovren shouldn't play (i.e. he is in a mental institute / crying constantly / has an injury), he should start to prove his worth. Plus I think Hendo and Can in the middle would provide enough cover so that Lovren isn't so exposed.

If it were up to me:       
                                Migs
                       Can   Skrtel   Sahko
           Markovic   Hendo   Gerrard   Ibe
                     Lallana      Couthino
                            Sturridge

Back 3 cannot change at this point, they are playing too well as a group. I am a Joe Allen fan but after seeing how easily he was nudged off the ball against Everton, I don't want to see him vs Spurs (although last year he played very, very well against them). Sterling being out may be a good thing for him, hasn't played that well lately IMO. Mario should be on the bench for this one. If needed, I would like to see how he and Studge are together up top. If we can contain Kane, I'd say 1-0 in our favor. If we don't, it will be another disappointing result against one of the bigger clubs.

I know mate and I believe Marko will start instead.

Not going to happen mate, Stevie's in the DM role tonight.

Put Markovic in for Sterling as part of the front three. Since the Sunderland game he's been useless at wing back so with Ibe playing well at the weekend there it's a good chance for Lazar to show what he can do further up the pitch (in his more natural position).

I'd say this counts as a pre-match comment.

Thanks buddy...

It only works if I comment on the outcome of the match, get your own ridiculous superstition and leave mine be. 

 

Reckon Ibe might grab a goal tonight if he starts.

Teams with the youngest starting XIs in the Premier League 2014/2015:

Spurs - 24 Years 37 Days. v Arsenal.
Liverpool - 24 years 47 days v Aston Villa.

This team:

                         Mignolet

            Can         Skrtel       Sakho

    Ibe        Hendo          Allen       Moreno

             Markovic           Coutinho

                        Sturridge

would have an average age of 23 1/3 years.

Stevie will no doubt start which automatically shoots the avarage up to over 30

Puts us into late 24s.

I don't want to see Lovren nowhere near the starting eleven.

I know only joking......

never ever again???

Hate these cu*ts...

Let's hope we batter them 5-0.

I don't want to see Lovren nowhere near the starting eleven.

So whose position will he take?

Not going to happen mate, Stevie's in the DM role tonight.

Yea, BR probably won't want to mess with the back 3, and with Lucas out would be cleaner for SG to come straight in, avoid a lot of change.
But imo SG has been poor recently, so if he didn't start I could understand why too.

So whose position will he take?

Someone suggested playing Can in Lucas's place and Lovren as a CB. I'd rather play Glen as a CB than Lovren, seriously. This lad made me age 5 years with his horrendous display in our defence, cost us alot of points, and we don't have the luxury of trying experiments with our formation anymore.
