Liverpool v Spurs - Saturday 11/02/17 K.O. 17.30

NB: Team no longer available

Id like to see this just to shake things up a bit. 3 Workhorses in midfield that will give the Spurs players no time to think, and  Sturridge deserves a chance, he hasn't been a bad as people make out, with better service he'll score.

I don't want to see Mignolet anywhere near the team. Karius was dropped for two mistakes, if Klopp is serious about competition for places and everyone having an equal chance then Karius must be restored to the side.

It's when a side packs the defense, sits deep with a bank of 5/4 keeping it tight, that's when struggle.
We have a better chance against teams like Spurs who don't sit to deep even away from home, and like to get forward and attack. We can hit them on the break, little bit more room to attack, more of an end to end rather than us sitting just outside the box huffing and puffing.

In the second half of the season most teams have a better idea of how to stop free scoring teams. Against us they sit deep and frustrate us. Give us no room then hit us when we ease off. We haven't got enough invention or pace to get in round the back. Doesn't take much for confidence to dip.

We needed fresh legs and ideas. We have a chance against Spurs to kick start a run, they will give us chances as they will not sit deep. But we must get more urgency into it or we will disappear up our own backside and end up struggling to stay in the top 6.

Can't see why Milner can't be the Keeper...he's doing everything else..he's left back, wing back, left winger, penalty taker, corner taker...surely he can keep an eye on the goal as well..

Knowing Milner he'd probably end up being the best damn Keeper we've ever had.

I thought the team worked best when Lallana played a deeper role.
That means no Can.

That's what I'd like to see.

I'd play Karius from now to the end of the season to allow him time to settle for next season.

I want to wake up Sunday without a hangover and depressed, with 3 points and be able to read the papers and watch sports channels.

Just once this F***ing year please.

Once.

Ha, I know mate.. doing my head in it really is..
Loads of football fans asking me WTF is going on at Liverpool?
The overwhelming answer is it's because we are not playing our first team week after week.
We basically played a B team in both cup competitions and paid the price.

Jürgen needs to get those 11 players that were knocking teams out for a laugh a couple of months ago and play them every week until May.
Get the cohesion and belief back.
There's still loads of points to play for.

Mane's had a good spell back first team training now and needs to get his shooting boots on.
if he's back on blob he'll be the difference for us against this lot.

The reality of only chasing a top 4 spot in the first half of February has to take shape and become an obsession with the team and what better way than to beat Tottenham with a convincing win.

 

That's what I'd like to see.

After Mig's blunder, reckon he has every chance of starting. He's looked more confident in recent matches.

With no Cup matches, it's slim pickins for the keepers from here on in. As with the fringe players.  If, IF Karius can show some form, would stick with him, cause at the end of the day we've seen enough of Migs to know what he's like.

The right decision just give him the rest of the season now to see what he can do, because we know exactly what the other clown is like.

People can bang on about Karius all they like but I think from what we've seen he's a more reactive keeper than Mignolet. Maybe a bit rash, but give him time to settle in England and I don't think we'll be comparing him with Mignolet in a few years.

I can't quite comprehend why people have made their minds up on Karius, despite the lad only being young. And I can't quite comprehend how people thought Mignolet was better.

Last year was more than enough to show that Mignolet will never ever change. Him going through games without a major clanger is somehow a positive in some eyes, but its merely par for the course. I can't remember a game where he has actually saved us points, bar his debut penalty save against Man Utd in 2013.

Agreed.

Indeed one was a proven clown, the other had proof of excellent form in Germany just last season and had so many mitigating factors to understand his slump that it really was quite shocking to read so many write him off.

Now I'll give Mignolet his due he did improve for a few games but that didn't last long and I'd happily watch him leave in the summer for someone who can really compete and even possibly dislodge Karius but moving forward Karius is the right choice.

Time for Klopp to make a call on the goalkeeper situation. If it's Karius it's Karius. If it's Migs it's Migs.

I think the two need to know where they stand, I think the back 4 need to know who they are playing with.

Not a fan of either keeper and ideally none would start but sadly that wont happen . Agree Karius needs to be given time but he should have been No 2 and played in U23s all season and gained experience in cup comps. He has and will continue to make mistakes as he did against Wolves. Has made some decent saves but have not seen one world class save as yet . As long as the for Karius do not explode when he makes a mistake fine but I do not think he is ready or good enough yet and really hope im proved wrong 

just goes to show that Klopp isn't really settled on either of them, maybe one of them will take their chance and not throw away a goal in every game they play?

a clean sheet even.

They should know where they stand. Perform well and you stay in the side. Perform badly and you're taken out. The goalkeeping situation should be no different to any other position on the field. Competition for places brings the best out of a player.

All of the top 6 sides have had their slump and gotten over it.

Can it be our turn please?

The Spurs game is looking mightily important all of a sudden

Can't say that I'm feeling arsed about this TBH.

Still down that we've imploded so badly.

I need the team for once to pick me up.

Time for the whole team including coaching staff to show what they're made of. Time to make us happy as shanks did.

OK I now think we will win this, I think this will be the game it clicks into gear again. Then we have Leicester who are utter sh*te at the moment and then Arsenal visit us. On paper all tricky games but for us at the moment playing open teams is a stroke of very good fortune. The test will come when we face Burnley, but we have plenty of time to work out a new system by then so fingers crossed.

Agree.

It should be Karius.

Looks like lovren,lallana and Klaven are out for the Spurs game...I can see a Anfield drubbing coming on.

Seems like Lallana, Lovren and Klavan are doubts

It makes me laugh,so these three players are in doubt,and we see a drubbing on the cards, these three players get slated after every game ,so surely they wont be missed?
