[Bjornebye]

In the words of the great Dr Nowt

 

 

 

[Anubis]

Get in. Just win by any means necessary. Get out.

[cloggypop]

Stig out

[aRdja]

I don’t know if I’m ready for this game.

[aRdja]

Alisson; Neco Williams, Matip, Fabinho, Robertson; Henderson, Thiago, Wijnaldum; Shaqiri, Mane, Salah

 

Trent needs some time away for a bit I think. 

[an tha]

The absolute neck of this fucker starting these match threads on run he is on..

 

As for the game...

 

 

[Jairzinho]

We'll dominate this game. 

 

We'll lose 3-0.

[Trumo]

We won this fixture a year ago on our first visit to Spurs' new stadium, 1-0 thanks to a goal from Bobby. Spurs barely looked to get out of their own half and we didn't look to blow them away. We just got in, got the points and continued on our march towards a maiden Premier League title (or No19 if you want to be accurate). Bobby was frequently doing the business in away games but couldn't buy a goal at Anfield.

 

We DID blow them away in December 2013, during Brendan Rodgers' spell in charge. A 5-0 blitz at the Lane featuring goals from Hendo, Sterling, 2 from Suarez and even a goal from Jon Flanagan who was in fine form that season. That match signalled the end of Andre Villas-Boas time in charge, with Spurs replacing him with Captain Bellend and his sleeveless jackets. We mullered them again 4-0 later in the season.

 

 

 

 

One part-time cockney who was riding high in the charts back then was Lily Allen. She was top of the charts with her cover of Keane's 'Somewhere Only We Know'. It was used for the John Lewis Christmas advert that year and it ain't that good. The original song is very dull too. I don't hate either of them, I just think 'meh'.

 

 

 

 

There were a few signs that we can offer a goal threat in the FA Cup defeat to the Mancs, and we've badly needed that over the past few weeks. We need something to click in our favour now because luck has deserted us since the Palace game. Being able to select two reliable actual centre backs to play at centre back would be a huge help (we're getting old and we need something to rely on - yes I nicked that from the lyrics!), but we are going to have to continue with Fabinho and probably Matip who IS reliable but not durable. I would be tempted to take on Mourinho at his own game and stifle the shit out of this match. We have to be wary of Tottenham's front 2 showing how clinical they can be, and we're almost certain to come up against a ref and VAR official who allow all sorts of shit to be committed on our players while falling for the antics of the likes of Kane every time. We haven't had a genuine 11v11 contest for quite some time now. Just fucking win!

[johnsusername]

FUCK. THIS. 

[sir roger]

The one bright side is that I don't have BT and the pubs are shut.

[ZonkoVille77]

I hate to say it, but we're fuckin shite. 

[Baltar]

Really not a game we need right now. Then again being home to Burnley was what we needed in our slump and we fucked that up too. 

[suzy]

I thought Stig was bowing out if we lost today...

[AngryOfTuebrook]

Get Joel & Sadio (and Jordan?) back in the starting line-up and play like we did today and we will fuck these fucking fuckers in the fuck-hole.

 

Just get these beat, Reds.

[an tha]

Henderson was ruled out v Burnley with a 'minor' issue. So i'd expect him back around early March.

[Suckyamadda]

We’ve become so predictable to play against.

 

All possession and no bite, Spurs will willingly sit back knowing they’ll be countless chances to pick us apart on the break with Son and Kane, will Klopp be able to counter react? Doubt it.

 

3-0 Spurs win.

Only thing left to do is cut the wifi.

[Halcyon Days]

Tottenham are shit we're playing shit.

 

Stig's big comeback sneaky 2-1 win to the Redmen and @TheAllMy-TyReds to piss his money down the drain.

[Baltar]

Can't see us wining this. In fact I can't see us winning the match after either, away to fucking Moyes' West Ham who are in good form. Our next home vs Brighton might be our best chance of 3 points from the next 3 games.

[Herp McDerp]

We're getting bummed here. Son and Kane will be going in dry.

[Liverpool lad]

Just need to get to 40 points 

[dockers_strike]

Currently a massive leap of faith to think we'll equal last season's result there. Id take a draw right now.

[No2]

If Hendo is fit I'd play him CB and move Fabinho back into midfield. He would have stopped most of those Utd attacks before they got anyway near our defence.  The danger here is Kane dropping deep and playing it through to Son, Fab can stop that at source.

[niallers]

We all know what's going to happen. They'll drop off and leave us commit with plenty of the ball. It'll come down to stopping kane picking it up in the space between midfield and defence,  and us continuing to improve our play up to and around their box which did improve against united.
