Tottenham Vs Liverpool: Match Thread

[Kingstheman]

I don't even want a win, I want us to thrash them and derail their season close to January so Suarez will kick up a stink.

*cue optimistic*

I'll happily oblige.

It is a positive rating, still.

Suarez running at Dawson is a scary thought.

We won last year with Suarez playing against Dawson and Gallas as our CB pairing. This makes me a lot more confident.

 

[TheHoddleWaddle]

Suarez is on another level this season IMO. The prospect of Dawson facing him is a bit scary. I think the key is stifling his service. That said, he's the sort of player that could score against any cb pairing anywhere. I hope he has an off game!

 

[Kirito]

I had a nightmare that Liverpool go 3-1 up with Glen Johnson scoring and Suarez with a long ranger that hits the underside of the bar and goes in. Then I woke up... but I can't see us coming back from that scoreline.

Sorry.

It was only a dream... Only a dream...

Haha optimism is positively rated on SC? Who'd have thought it lol

AVB was surprised when I told him...

 

[Blake Griffin]

I think Liverpool will play better football with Allen and a cm3 (which is what I think they'll play tomorrow) than they have been with Gerard lately.

yes but you see harmless sideways passing as "better football".

 

[Kingstheman]

Doesn't this beg the age old question... What is better football?

 

[Bus-Conductor]

They won both those games by sitting back and countering.

Better than watching some camp tv personality announce ball numbers on a saturday night, yes.

have you not noticed that brendan win the possession rodgers has actually dropped the possession obsession this season and as a result liverpool are doing quite a bit better as a result? - and by better i mean they're scoring more goals and winning more games ... not winning more passes(just in case you were getting confused by my definition of "better"). so yes i(and i imagine the large majority) would rather we were facing joe allen in midfield rather than steven gerrard, the latter goes into games with the intention of making things happen, getting goals, getting assists, winning the game with meaningful actions, joe allen on the otherhand is delighted if he comes home with his 95% pass completion intact. hopefully i haven't just jinxed him into twatting in a 35 yard winner.

it is also no surprise to me that we've created as many chances in the past three games as we had the previous 12 due to us not restricting ourselves with this possession is all mantra.

 

[Legend10]

Joe Allen, £15 million lol!

I hope I haven't jinxed him into playing well for once either.

 

[The Apprentice]

Feeling confident about this one.

...would be nice. Did I miss anyone? I really enjoyed seeing Townsend bombing down the left and pinging balls in on Thursday.

Got my RAWK account ready to go the moment we go 1-0 up and witty comments pre planned for every goal we score after.

 

[LeSoupeKitchen]

Carragher, Souness and Gerrard on sky panel - thats nice and balanced!

That is RIDICULOUS, cannot believe they've done that....actually, yes I can.

 

[woodyspur]

Somebody mark Suarez. That is all.

Make sure we can share your wit here.

Ansi 58%
Sunderland 53%
Fulham 61%

Last three games average 57.3%

Previous three games average 54%

Seasonal (league) average 57.2%


Clearly your theory of less possession equalling more chances is bollocks.
