Keita on might be on the bench, expect jones,henderson,gini to start in midfield. Matip is ok apparently. 

Thank Christ. 

[Bjornebye]

Nervous about this. One of those nights where the fans could have us 3 up after 20 minutes. 

 

These negative cunts need a good fucking hiding. We can go 3 points clear here, any sort of performance like Sunday and I'm gonna run down the ground and egg the team coach.

It will be difficult to see if this is/was accurate or not. He could get injured getting into the car for the match.

I actually don't think any of our usual front 3 have been at the level they've been over previous seasons. Jotas performances have masked how the others have dropped a level imo.

In a nutshell. Firmino and Mane in particular.  If they can get back in form soonish we'll walk this weak league. If not, it'll be a hard slog and almost anybody could win it. 

[Arnaud]

We’re the reigning champions, we’re still good despite injuries and VAR, let’s beat the Mourinho buses. 1-0, thanks to a VAR controversy hopefully !

I tend not to look at the table until after 13 matches; with a third of the season gone, some of the anomalies have been balanced out and you can get a realistic view of what various teams should be competing for. 

 

If we win tonight, I'm going to relish that table.

For me it was always 10 matches but maybe 13 is better.

That Twitter account that always seems to get the Liverpool team news right is tweeting that Konate at Leipzig is the number one target.
 

Would be surprised to see them sell to us mid-season, especially given the CL draw. 
 

Also mentioned that Thiago could be back playing by the end of the month...

[Barnesey]

We need to put Spurs - players, management and fans - back into their box tonight. Big performance required

[m0e]

Just don't conceded first. Pleeeeaaaassseeee

You had me up until that last part

[Evelyn Tentions]

I'd rather see Shaqiri in the squad rather than Origi. Even if he's not fit.

The Keita who played in Germany would have sorted Kane out. The wimp we've got will chicken out of everything.

Are you saying our front 3 have played at the same level as the last 3 seasons?

Just watched the highlights from the home 18-19 league game. Christ, it’s a different game without all the fans. Means around 15% as much, actually makes me sad to watch.

Doesn't quite have the same ring to it.

He's only defending Salah.

Regardless of the outcome I can comfort myself knowing that Gareth Bale is just as useless for Spuds as he was for Real.

Why? Why would you say that? Useless at Madrid but helped win the Champions League for them at our expense.

 

This is on you if he turns up for a game tonight!

If Bale gets on they are in big trouble - will take my chances here - you have to speculate to accumulate!

His numbers mask a lot of flaws in his game...the way we play and the amount of chances we create, the numbers should be more higher. 

I think the front three have been below par as a unit for quite some time. Our main attacking threat comes from the full backs.

[TheHowieLama]

Agreed.

I do not think Salah will ever hit the heights of his first season. It was incredible.

 

My guess is half his golas this year are from the penalty spot.

Had a quick google about the Konate lad. He is good but apparently has suffered significant injury problems in the past year or so. Muscle and soft tissue injuries specifically.

 

Not sure we would or should be looking at signing a centerback who is likely to be keeping Van Dijk and Gomez company in the physio room.

[Supremolad]

Don't know of the "lot of flaws" Salah supposedly has. He has comfortably been the best of our front three this season. Apart from the goals, he has created a good number of chances for teammates and hasnt had more than a couple really quiet games.

 

Constantly a threat and has also improved his defensive work. I definitely won't be lumping him in with the other two in terms of inconsistent performances. Seems some people would always think he is not at his "highest level". But guess what, a 44 goal season was always going to be almost impossible to replicate. He is still pretty special.

[Lario]

I fucking hate Harry Kane!
