BBC is saying Torres unlikely to be risked

Think this will be a class game for the neutral, hopefully Torres is fit... they leave loads of space behind and their keeper is meeeeh.

Think they'll score though i'm going 2-2

Alonso and Mascherano are key. Their midfield should be easily bossed by those 2, freeing up the likes of Gerrard, Riera, Kuyt and Keane to cause havoc amongst their shoddy defence.

They've got some good attacking players, but the only real pace comes from Bent - who has abysmal movement off the ball and should be nullified.

To be honest, I'll be disappointed if we don't win this.

Whatever gets Torres ready, I don't want us to rush him back in, I'd love to see him on the bench though.

Though, I think this'll be the toughest game of November. Let's hope we can keep up the momentum and get a result.

We looked tired the other night whereas Spurs will get a confidence boost from their late draw against their derby rivals, little worried about this one in all honesty

Snoopy29 · « **Reply #246 on:** October 31, 2008, 01:17:16 pm »

Spurs will be up for it...they will want to get of the bottom as quick as possible... Have a feeling it will be like a cup final... not sure why lol..
if lennon starts ..than,we'd have to play as we did with man city... They are going to be soo boosted by the 4-4 draw...and that croation guy...he'll be on course to play with our defence... so we have to go with an attacking force..Babel and keane please...!!!
agree with robin

Ledley is back tomorrow judging by the training photos today, so that's a big boost for us defensively. I can't actually remember the last Liverpool game we had Ledley available for

Just need Gomes to keep his head

He needs to have one in the first place to keep

I agree, Keane is a massive prick for wanting to join a bigger and better club.

Despite that, Spurs will win 1-0 or 2-1 tomorrow.

you trying to cry this one in ?

In one, even if they are finding a bit of form spurs should be disposed off, it's not being cocky or anything like that theres just too much wrong with the team as a whole for us not to take maximum points. Harry can't play a defensive game against us as he'd like, he knows we'll score so he'll go to his strengths and attack us it worked against Arsenal just but it won't work this time.

Yeah that's the only plus point for us, we've probs got a goal start cos of Gomes lol, then again he'll probably have his best game so far for Spurs tomorrow, wouldnt be surprised.

I've said for ages that Spurs away would be our first defeat. Just one of those feelings. The media will be all over the Keane return; he'll have an ineffective game and we'll lose by a goal with the witty retort of 'Kean-o, what's the score?' booming around White Hart Lane despite the fact we're still joint top and have won more trophies in the past eight years than Tottenham fans will see in their lifetime.

I don't think we'll go with a 4-4-2 though. I imagine it'll be more or less what started against Arsenal but with King in for Corluka and Bent in for Pav. I think we'd be more likely to cause you problems with Bent, especially with Modric playing just behind him looking to pick him out. We look infinitely better now that Modric is being used in his correct position. Ramos was pretty much using him as a holding midfielder

I think if we can just stay organised we will win this comfortably.

If we are as solid as we were against Portsmouth with a bit more spark going forward I think Spurs will have to succumb to the red machine!

Alf · « **Reply #256 on:** October 31, 2008, 01:34:28 pm »

As long as we defend like we have in the last 2 games with Torres and Spurs back line it's only a matter of time till we break them down tomorrow.

Yeah and Berbatov will prbably score a couple against little Hull and all the pundits columns on Sunday/Monday morning will be full of crap about how Utd got the better deal and we should never have signed Keane, TWATS

Iwant to see us press spurs under pressure from the off . Let our crushing machine take full effect then , get some goals.

Come on then Arry , you want some

? eh ??

freedom · « **Reply #262 on:** October 31, 2008, 01:42:36 pm »

We don't have to risk Nando imo, i think he'll possibly be on the bench for this.
Play Keane. I predict he'll score against his old club!

We'll win!

Down to inexperience that though, he's only young. I'm trying to compliment him by saying I see him more as a Pirlo than an Arshavin or someone, if you get me.

Modrić hasn't met Javier Mascherano yet has he.

It'll be a test for us for sure but I just can't see us losing against your lot with the state your in even with your new found mojo.

Benitez also revealed that he will assess the fitness of Fernando Torres in a final training session this afternoon before deciding whether to risk the Spanish hot-shot.

"We have to check today in our last training session before we go to London," he said. "Then we will decide. He is very close.

I can see us just running all over them in midfiled. Their back four would get more protection from a split condom than the likes of Jenas and Modric.

He's actually a decent shot-stopper, just looks very dodge from balls into the box, especially at set pieces.
