Pre Match : Tottenham v Liverpool : Sunday 6th Nov, 16.30

We certainly looked a lot better in the Napoli match and dare I say it more compact and difficult to play through, not sure if that was due to the nature of the match but I’m taking it as a positive sign.

Fab looked a lot more comfortable not having to cover acres of space so we should stick with the 433 system that the players are all used to playing.

Bonus of Son and Richarlison being out out so less of a chance of being hit on the break but obviously that’s to be seen with this LFC team!

Alisson, Trent, Konate, VVD, Robbo, Fab, Henderson, Thiago, Nunez, Bobby, Salah

We will smash these.

Up the reds

Romero out as well who I rate. Henderson back in alongside Fab and Thiago . Ibou a must alongside VVD. Robbo back LB and Darwin to start . Not sure Bobby will start this maybe on bench

This could be a very interesting game, Spurs can be inconsistant, or very good on their day. I just hope the Reds show up on Sunday, with Konate back in defence anything can happen, hopefully a win against the Spuds.

They're on a high after getting into the last 16 in the C/L but they have also got some serious injury problems. I think it will be tight, tense game. Konte big plus but we need more energy from midfield. Our passing has been a bit off as well.

One other thing that has been hindering us this season is our movement off the ball. It makes a huge difference if you give options and we haven't done that very well. City's movement off the ball under Pep is nearly as good as Barca under Pep. We have to at least try to get near that standard. Instead of a throw in coach we should hire an 'off the ball' coach. It's vitally important in all areas of the pitch.

I'll be watching our moverment OTB very closely in this game, however I'm going for a win.

0-1.

Key to winning this is not going behind first in my opinion, this spurs team regardless of who is playing will be well drilled, therefore it is important we do not get caught napping at the back.

I have mentioned before we do not play our best with Fab by himself so would have him parterned with Thiago and give Elliot that wide right role to allow Salah to play more centrally. I prefer seeing Nunez through the middle also, but if he ended up wide I am sure I could cope.

Gomez hasn't had the best runs of late but I still think he will be the best choice for RB considering we need to be defensively on point to come away with a win for this game.             


                                              Ali

             Gomez           Konate         VVD            Robbo

                                   Fab           Thiago 
             
                          Elliot                              Bobby

                                     Salah      Nunez

Winning this game is a must for me in terms of top four, not just because of the points we will drop if we don't win but the potential impact it would have on the mentality of the team. Hopefully if we win this the team know top four is still well within our reach, lose this and I think heads may start to drop and the focus becomes solely on the CL.

Come on redmen!

Conte can turn any starting 11 into a bus. And he knows exactly where to park it.

We will need to take our chances and not get caught out on the counter.

However, I fancy a 3-1 win

I would stick with Trent for this as we have lethal pace with Mo & Darwin and Trent can pick them out. Defensively he was better against Napoli so I think the Boss will stick with him. If Hendo is fit I think he will come in with Mo, Bobby & Darwin.

Back to the tried and tested 4-3-3 for this one I suspect, we certainly much more compact in midweek and klopp has been talking about being harder to play against. We simply have to score first though given our shocking away form this season.

Really don't like Tottenham...Kane...sonny ...Conte...Horrible fans

Good win V a very good side in Napoli, not many seen us winning that and no cnut seen us outplay the Fraudsters with almost every f***in tw*t pundit havin us beat before a ball was kicked,

Spuds @ Spud’s gaffe will be no different, most will have us being stuffed, boiled, mashed, roasted or fried, they will chip away at us all day and hope we get skinned,
See what I did there ? 😁

They’ll miss the ‘Dog Eater’ like we’ll miss Diaz & Jota and that is a huge loss for them, we’ve had a few games now without either so perhaps it’s not as bad of a impact,

No doubt Conte will have them set up to control midfield and that’s a major issue for us, we need legs in there but we’ll also need experience so Hendo in for both and to cover for Trent, Thiago is a shoe in and we should have this fella cloned during the World Cup, the legs come from young Stefan Bajcetic, throwing him in at the deep end he’ll learn very quickly what is required but he’ll be surrounded  by a world of experience and I think this young lad won’t be fazed at all,

Bobby was slightly off kilter V Napoli so hopefully he’s back on song for this one, we’ll need him at his bamboozling best, want to see him do his tricks N flicks and creating havoc, I was impressed with how Mo & Nunez seem to have a good understanding and with Bobby & Thiago behind them joining the dots, we have two players who see passes other’s don’t and two more who will find/create spaces for them two to run into,

Spuds away is never easy but I can’t help but think we’ll smash N grab and take the points.  This could be a belter !!

2-3 Mighty Redmen

Really don't like Tottenham...Kane...sonny ...Conte...Horrible fans

There are 7 London based teams in the Premier league. On a list of dislikes I'd go:

Spurs
Arsenal
Chelsea
Crystal Palace
West Ham
Fulham
Brentford

Player wise...Kane...he's dirty swine on the QT...bit of a diver as well.

Ally
Gomez Konate VVD Robbo
Hendo Fab Thiago
Salah Bob Nunez

Defend first. Joe instead of TAA.
Start Hendo, need the experience, dont need this passing Elliot or Jones by.
Konate important, makes a big diff when starting.
Front 3 pick themselves. Havent been impressed with Nunez, but options are slim. Need Mo to continue his resurgence.
Play Bob in the middle of the front three, and go back to a 433 formation.
Beat Citeh and Napoli, loose to Forest and Leeds. This is anyone's guess.
COYRs !!!

Nunez outscored Haaland last season in numbers and goals per minute. Yes he's had a iffy start but plenty are impressed. Klopp included.

Does he start if Diaz or Jota fit, possibly not.
Either way, obviously everyone wants him to do well.

Enough is enough, Conte is their manager, a miserable weird pleb, lets wreck them, I've had enough of us being weaklings and all excuses about OooO last season was so harrowing with the cup lifting because it was long. If the players don't do the job there in their fancy little toilet stadium then I have to watch this fake world cup and give a crap about who or what?
Get them beat LFC ffs.
Nunez from the start, get them wrecked. Can't stand Spurs and Conte, Do it.
This last season was so long crap does my head in too, fuuu off.

Couldn’t give a toss about conte one way or the other, but that diving cheating dirty f**ker Kane. FFS why hasn’t anyone busted that horrible f**ker before now defeats me.
Let’s batter these wankers.

Agree with every single word

Ok ... I'm going to throw a wildcard in here.

                               Alisson

Ramsay        Konate            Virgil        Robertson

           Henderson    Fabinho     Thiago

                                   Firmino
                      Salah                   Nunez

I'm going to start Ramsay. I think he can give us 60 minutes. Big call but I want to see what this kid can do and we will learn more here than we will against Derby. He couldn't do any worse than what we've seen at rb.

Bob in behind Mo and Darwin in a 4 3 1 2 ... but can be a 433 as well.

I did toy with nunez through the middle and Jones left as he did OK against napoli. But ive got him on the bench.

This may be a good time to play Spurs ... but they've got a good spirit under conte and we will have to turn up for the whole game to have a chance of getting something.

      Salah

Something about these games, kind of bring out the North-South divide. Smug arrogant Southerners even if they are managed by Conte. Goes beyond the game a little bit. All that 'leveling up' bull and the patronising 'Northern Power House' waffle.

This is football but these games just add that bit extra. Conceited jumped up Kane just kind of typifies the feeling...mmm...yeah..ta ke that you creep..

Prey a gust of wind doesn't go near big arry tomorrow ... that donkey will be down faster than kdb. Still haven't got over his leg breaker on Robertson they just quickly brushed over last season.

Yeah...but on your line up..Ramsey...19..just back from injury..in front of Trent...and Joe...well if you say so...

Trent and Joe are accidents waiting to happen.

I think Ramsay can give us an hour and I want to see what he can do. As I said we will learn more here than we will by playing him against Derby. I remember Rob Jones at 19 signing and playing 2 days later and had giggs in his pocket and got motm.

It can be done. If Milner was fit I'd be selecting him at right back.

Putting in Ramsey starting against Spurs after 10 mins as a sub 🤦‍♂️

Kane and richarlison tomorrow,  get your scorecards ready for the dive off.

Need a result really. We are getting cut adrift from the top 6….

Conte will sit deep and Klopp has struggled to break buses down before but I fancy us here…

Kane and richarlison tomorrow,  get your scorecards ready for the dive off.

Richarlison out isn't he ?

Richarlison out isn't he ?

Yes pretty sure he's out

Richarlison out isn't he ?

Is he ? Saves me a bit of swearing tomorrow if he is

Tottenham, meanwhile, have several injury concerns ahead of hosting the Reds.

Heung-min Son is undergoing surgery on a fracture around his left eye, while Richarlison and Cristian Romero have both been ruled out.

Dejan Kulusevski is battling to be fit following his recent absence and Lucas Moura is also hoping to be ready to feature.

"We need to face this situation," Spurs boss Antonio Conte said. "We need to finish these three games in the best possible way. We have these injuries. Richarlison is not available for the game, same for Romero.

"Rodrigo Bentancur is much better and today was a part of the training session. The same for Kulusevski, he had half a training session with us.

"The problem with Lucas Moura is having different phases for his pain. Today it was really bad, and they said he was really worried for this. I asked him to try to be available because we need him."

Is he ? Saves me a bit of swearing tomorrow if he is

Ha ha yes thinking same horrible man. Kane still playing though and he can really wind me up

Dreading this

  Do you not dread every gameb

We are a Forrest Gump box of chocolates, never know what you gonna get
But it might be a strawberry cream, rather than a Turkish delight...

See Ketia is injured AGAIN

Gone for a 2  1 victory for the Reds , been pointless in the prediction league lately. Hope that comes to an end today, with a win against Spurs.

Need Fab to turn up today, could be a long afternoon if he loses the midfield battle against Hojberg and Bentancur.

Fancy  us to do them 1-2 myself.

I think we’ll know which way the game will go after the first 20 mins. They’ll be well up for it for the first 15.
We have to hold then off then get a grip around twenty.
If we can do that without conceding, I’m sure we’ll go on and win it.

Kane will have watched MOTD and seen KDB get away with a blatant dive, he'll try something similar.

Haven’t even been in front in an away game yet this league season. It’s November. Incredible.

Kane will have watched MOTD and seen KDB get away with a blatant dive, he'll try something similar.

And boy was it an embarrassing dive.

Avoid defeat beat saints and get this F***ing horror season out of our heads for a few weeks

Confirmed team with no surprises:

Ali

Trent
Konate
Vvd
Robbo

Harvey
Fab
Thiago

Darwin
Bobby
Mo

If results go against us we could find ourselves 18 points behind the leaders and, slightly more concerning, 11 points behind 4th.

We better not take the cups lightly this year.

Closer to the bottom than the top. Wins for Newcastle and utd today combined with a loss for us and you can kiss goodbye to the top 4 ... those players need to get out there and play like their futures depend on it today.

Aye. The league table is starting to look bleak.

If we'd beaten Leeds and Forest we'd have been looking to get into the top 4 today. Criminal being beaten in those 2 games.

Not confident here boys and girls.  Think we are going to pick up another 3 points before the World Cup break and I'm expecting it to come next week not this.

Feeling we will win today and hopefully with Chelsea getting beat a good time to get three points

So the next game against Southampton could be classed as a relegation 3 pointer!

Yikes

Yeah was worried about that too. If that’s the standard now we’ll have 10-15 pens a game. F***ing shocking giving that pen.

When I see players dive like that I just want someone to two foot them in the face.

Bit disappointed with KDB..thought he was better than that. The penalty area is now a CHEATS PLAYGROUND....and after that by KDB who can blame any player doing the trailing leg con, the exaggerated fall, the one touch go down routine.

I just hope we do it better than them but Kane sets the bar very high. We'll be lucky if we get a throw in.

Everyone’s mind is on the World Cup. Be cautious and don’t get injured. We’ve won the league, CL and almost every domestic cup. The World Cup comes once every four years. Let’s focus on it and get that. Don’t mess this game up. Play but let’s get out unscathed. Treat this as a warm up. The real games start in Qatar. We shall give more of the same since the season started. We’re mid table anyway.

And so this is why I have no confidence today. Don’t give me that they are professional rubbish. They are professional to the point that they know how to manage their games.

KDB has form for it though. I did a Google search of his dive yesterday and it came up with one against everton (which I recall) and one against wolves.

I got knocked yesterday at a fireworks display. A lad nearly knocked my hot dog out my head. I should have rolled about with my arms waving and got a new hot dog out of him.

Yeah: and with VVD, despite being as class as he is, this World Cup is the first international tournament he has been to. And could be his last… I kinda get why he is playing each game like it’s a testimonial.

Personally I have little interest in international football but you only have to look at how salah reacted after missing out on the World Cup to see how much it means to most of them.

Well honesty is an added extra these days. With the Tories ripping the country off, Johnson lying through his teeth. Trust is almost dead, KDB and the VAR judge gave it another kick in the teeth.

And so is fair play and FFP. Look at teams that make lots of transfers beyond the FFP boundaries and you’ll know what I mean.

Don't forget every time a player hits a shot into Row 38 and then vehemently claims it took a deflection, when the replay shows it was nowhere close to any defender.

Fancy us to win this 3-1. Something has changed, i don't know what it is but i see it in Klopp in his pressers. Was the Leeds defeat a precipice?

COME ON REDMEN, LET@S FFFFUCCKIINGGGGGGG GGGGGGOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
