There's a ref?

 

We're fucked.

I think Hendo and Gini are nailed on to start against spurs.Jurgen wasnt happy with the way Ghenk drove through our midfield, attacking as it was. He wont want to see that against Spurs.

 

Hopefully Trent has recovered from whatever he had and Matip has recovered from his knock.

 

People say our squad doesnt have the depth but we've been without our first choice keeper for all but the last two games,had two important players missing through injury in defence and not really seen a big impact on the team.

Having a good backup keeper and a couple of decent stand in defenders is great but the real issue is the midfield.

Klopp made the changes last night and whilst it added something going forward it left us open to the counter.

We know Fab, Gino, Hendo/Milner generally works and we have good midfielders in reserve but they don't slot in automatically . Doesn't much matter against teams like Genk but it does against PL rivals .

Referee Anthony Taylor Might Actually Not Care.

 

 

Better?

With the way we're defending, I think if they decided to play two up front with Lucas and Son, we could really be in trouble. But I don't think they'll do that.

I could easily see them starting with 3-4-3, with Son and Lucas either side of Kane.

[LFC 6 Times]

Play regular 11 with Keita in for Henderson.

I don't think we find Kane particularly hard to defend.

 

But if it was a front two of Lucas and Son who were taking the spaces that our full backs were leaving, that would be rough to deal with.

[Bjornebye]

I want to see Klopp give Son a huge hug at the end on the pitch. A proper lingering one. 

 

"Come here, smell my fags, listen to that noise, they love you, we want you, come and play for me. Fat head is on his way and Harry Kane is a gimp"

I’m saying they could play both Son and Moura with Kane.

Hope they do - they won't, but I hope they do.

Yes, and I'm saying that in my opinion, it would probably be easier to defend for us than if Son and Lucas were both playing centrally without Kane.

That doesn’t make any sense.

My explanation is literally there, a couple posts up.

 

But here it is a bit simpler for you: I think Son and Lucas are more difficult to defend for us as strikers then if Kane is striker and Son and Lucas are wingers.

[TheHowieLama]

Has Kane ever been left out tactically?

 

Not sure that is in the Chubby Hamsters quiver tbh.

Son and Lucas would play as forwards just as much as Salah and Mane would for us. Why would you tell them to stick to the touchline?

Kane is the striker. He occupies the centre of the pitch. Spurs don't interchange fluidly like we do because Kane isn't capable of doing what Firmino does. Lucas and Son don't play like old school wingers but they don't play like strikers like Salah and Mané do.

Kane drops deep all the time and sets up play all the time.

We've marked him out of the game plenty of times when we've played them. He doesn't do that effectively at all against us.

 

A front two of Son and Lucas who could change positions, play wider, etc... would be harder to defend because we couldn't mark them. And that's something a bunch of people were saying before the Champions League final. That's the only point I'm making.

 

I don't want to have a discussion over what type of players Lucas, Son and Kane are because you're insufferable in those kinds of discussions. This is something else.

He set up a goal and almost set up another one but for Sissoko to sky his shot, the last time we played them at Anfield. Kane is one of the best link-up forwards in the world at present.

Ok, you just don't get the point.

[TheHowieLama]

Again, hope they play 3 upfront -- they will get hammered.

[Butch]

They're better without Kane, they just don't know it. His ego won't stop him from playing though. Anyway they need someone to to the diving in the box.
