Topic: Liverpool FC v Tottenham Hotspur FC, Sunday 5th May 16.30

[Eeyore]

Nunez will bag a hattrick today. 😃

Tierney will probably disallow them, though. 

I have it on good authority that the PGMOL and its referees are involved in a sweep and the official who trolls Liverpool with the worst decision of the season takes the pot. Tierney has some tough competition but I wouldn't rule him out yet.

[terry_macss_perm]

can carvalho play for liverpool now that the championship season is over ?

No.

1. The transfer window isn’t open.

2. He’s already played for two clubs this season so couldn’t play for us even if the transfer window was open.

Salah, Gakpo, Diaz front three looks like. Considering the high line they love to play I’d have started Nunez but Klopp seems fed up with him.

[Phineus]

Should be either Gakpo or Diaz on left, not both.

[The Final Third]

[DelTrotter]

Jurgs going for the slowest midfield you'll ever see. Still, should be enough v these you'd hope.

[El_Macca_17]

We owe this lot for parading their families around pitch to Robbie Williams music after beating us with 9 men, to a last min own goal, after a perfectly good goal was disallowed due to an unprecedented VAR error.

So naturally be 1-0 down after 10 mins.

I’ve been convinced ever since that we would win this game comfortably because of the injustice of that away fixture and the players would want to prove a point but the last few weeks have tempered my expectations. I’d be quite happy with a routine 2-0 win and have Diaz parade around the pitch afterwards with his Dad. I don’t normally dislike Spurs but that was next level trolling.

[rafathegaffa83]

Only surprise there is no Tsimikas.

[Cruiser]

Just win, preferbly with a ton of goals for Klopp.

Agree there is a total lack of athleticism. Will be I interesting to see  how it works out. Busquets Xavi Inseista wasn't very athletic. Think football has changed though. Counter attacking is huge now

[red1977]

Come on reds. Gravenberch has shown promise in the last few games. Think he will get on around 60.

[crewlove]

Just too many players out of form at once. Wanted to comment how uninspiring midfield was, but then I remembered how Jones or Szoboszlai played last few weeks. Usually not a fan of Gravenberch, but he produced few bright sparks albeit starts on the bench today.

[Garlic Red]

I think they were a bit more well versed in retaining the ball and executing the game plan in possession like.

Can’t understand why he’s not started Grav. Seems mad.

[duvva 💅]

Imagine Spurs will be boosted by the Villa result if it stays like this.

Pleased to see Elliott start, but think this will be a battle, hope we’ve got our shooting boots on, maybe nick the win in a high scoring game like last season

[Red Beret]

Why do people insist on dissing our good players?

Wait, we have good players? Based on the player threads I thought our entire squad was shit!

Gakpo and Diaz are in the shop window

They were an anomaly though in that they played keep ball in midfield so the opposition rarely got the ball to expose any lack of athleticism.

Xavi I feel is the greatest CM to ever play the game. That 360 degree turn of his when a player approached was a thing of beauty. His crisp, metronomic passing unlike anything the game has ever seen. We saw how good Thiago was when he was on the pitch with us, yet he is was a mere apprentice to the master.

[Barneylfc∗]

Top 3 secured with the Villa result

[DiggerJohn]

Agree Xavi is unreal. Was bored and watched Spain 2008 and Barcelona CL wins against manure. No young midfielders up and coming like him. More Bellingham  good with athleticism types

[kaesarsosei]

Top 3 secured with the Villa result

Yep, when’s the last time we had absolutely nothing to play for in any sense with 3 games remaining? Feels weirdly relaxing.

Relaxing perhaps. But give me the stress of a game with meaning or a  title run in any day

100%.

I mean, Liverpool can still finish first, as unlikely as it may seem. Have to keep going for it though.

[Mighty_Red]

Good to see Elliott finally get a go in midfield, hope he can make a difference today.

Hope the break has benefitted the players and with the pressure off time to put on a show.

COMON U REDMEN!!!

[RedDevo]

Fingers crossed. That's a physical mismatch in midfield.

[QC]

Fingers crossed. That's a physical mismatch in midfield.

It is clearly a team picked on form. I am quietly confident.

This.

[duvva 💅]

Crowd seem in good voice. Let’s hope it transfers to the team. Let’s fuckin win this reds
