Topic: Spurs V Liverpool - Pre game chat (Satdee 1/11/08 KO 17:30)

[Fordy]

Most win game. A draw will not be good enough.

Fancy Utd, Arsenal and Chelsea to win with ease and Villa to beat Newcastle on Monday. 

Winning today will send out the biggest statement of them all this season because it will send out the message that we have the strength to handle being top of the league and we are going to fight all the way to stay there.

The pressure will be on us due to us playing after the other teams.

[xerxes1]

Don't be dazzled by the Harry effect.They are a poor team, lets just take the wind out of their sails in the first half hour, brab a goal, shut up shop, and leave with the points. spurs are not in the same startosphere as Chelsea.

[Ellis]

keane in the 6th minute and 35th, tottenham get one back in the 56th, torres gets subbed on and scores in the 81st.

gerrard with 2 assists.

imagine that!

What was the attendance?

[I Like Boobs]

Ány news on Torres? The last I heard was Rafa saying that he was very close to being ready. Any further developments?

[Ellis]

What was the attendance?

Not sure

[Passmaster Molby]

Fancy Kuyt to get one today in a narrow 2-1 win.

Hope Rafa goes with the same side that beat Chelsea last week, and Torres gets a 20mins cameo to stretch his legs for Tuesday.

[RedBoywonder]

Is this on Setanta?

[Fordy]

Is this on Setanta?

Yes

[Walshy7]

I think this could be our hardest game of the season

[Adam Pepper]

HA! You nearly had me there...

[freedom]

Come on the REDS!!

[BazC]

We're starting to play some very decent football. If Keane or Torres are involved in the whole game, we'll win. I can see Keane starting this with Torres on the bench. Hoping to see Fernando get 30 mins today and a couple of goals   

[Helsinki Red]

0-3. Keane to score a hat-trick.

Seriously, this is going to be a really difficult game but I believe we can get three points.

[Mr Boat]

I think this could be our hardest game of the season

What's the next one? Happy with a draw should catch a few

[Adam Pepper]

So is Ledley King playing for them anyone know?

If all their first choice defenders are fit:

Hutton      King        Woodgate        Bale

they've got one of the best back 4s in the prem on paper imo

C>when we are top, almost every game will be an expected win, however its unlikely that we will win every game we are expected to win...the key it IF we drop point is to bounce back and not be "defeated" ...that goes for OUR  players &  supporters !

Has anyone heard whether Torres travelled with the team??

Individualy they are good, but if they line up like that they likeley won't have played together all season. Also I think Hutton and Bale's strengths are going forward, and both can be a little suspect in their defensive positioning, especially Bale.

[tezmac]

Come on reds lets finish the day top again

[moody]

Does anyone know if Torres has travelled with the squad to London?

Really?

I just don't rate them and as for Bale...

[jimbolfc86]

Really?

I just don't rate them and as for Bale...

I agree, the full backs are definately nothing speacial. King and Woodgate are good individually, but have they played together this season?

[nocturnalvin]

We will boss the midfield without doubt, and life works in such a way that Keane will score a goal or two. surely.

[kasperoff]

We should win this one, and I think we will. I'd take any kind of win, don't get me wrong, but it would be nice to control this one from the start and win comfortably by a few clear goals. All this late drama and narrow 1-0 leads is making a real mess of my fingernails.

Good thing it's shite on grass. How many against midweek?

[Tommy_W]

So is Ledley King playing for them anyone know?

Yeah it sounds like King is going to play. Rumour that our lineup will be:

Gomes, Corluka, King, Woodgate, Assou-Ekotto, Bentley, Lennon, Jenas, Huddlestone, Modric, Bent

Would be more or less the same as the other day but with King replacing Hutton and Lennon replacing Bale

Not sure Bale will start at left-back, Assou-Ekotto's been playing there for most of season so far.

[aggerdid]

its basically what rafa said to be honest. sorry i posted that

[cal_liverpoolfc]

Has anyone heard whether Torres travelled with the team??

according to bbc, no, but i don't know how accurate it is..

[buzzing]

Just for once i'd like a game which doesn't have me reaching for the defibrillator

[ratscabies]

i'm hoping for a 3-0 trashing, just for my heart's sake..

[Snoopy29]

Come on Liverpool... just because Tottenham have a better manager and drew with a team like Arsenal, doesn't mean we should be aiming for a draw. Who gives a f*** if they have the players..we did it against Milan, we did it against barcelona, we did it with many other teams.. we are a strong team..and no one will stop us getting in the way...

Babel, Keane, Benayoun, Gerrard, Pennant, Riera...El Zhar..,and co... who we afraid of? NO ONE...
Let's kick ASS

Let's give em what they haven't seen from us...lets toast these ...sukersss

WHO'S WITH ME ...

[ben]

so desperate for the win today. so many times we've been top and then fucked it up two weeks later. i'd fucking love the pack to be chasing us for weeks and possibly even months.

must win.

[ratscabies]

well put.

Thanks for the link. Unfortunately they put that up yesterday morning, but I don't think a decision was going to be made until the afternoon. Also they seem to be following newspaper reports that Torres had only been in light training, but lfc.tv seemed to suggest that wasn't true and that he's taken part in full training??

It's all a mystery, but I'm not expecting him to be on the bench to be honest, as Rafa seemed to hint they were leaning towards keeping him behind so that he could have a full day of rehab work.

[LFCGeezer]

I'd be feeling much more confident if Voronin was playing.

[aggerdid]

why don't they post things like the travelling team on lfc.tv? they need to pull their finger out, the admin people on that site
