Just want a nice professional performance. Preferably two goals up at the half and just keep them at arms length in the second half and keep hitting them on the break.

I hate to start another rotation thread, but without going into the whole physics, science and stats of the whole thing.

Does anyone believe Rafa was right to rotate v Pompey, and would he be right to rotate v Spurs?


Yes I think he was right to make changes against Pompey. Keane and Riera both had muscle strains and so he had little choice but to put them on the bench. Rafa has also spoken recently of the need to take care of Mascherano, as he has been very fatigued from all the travelling to Argentina and as a result has had niggles such as a calf strain. As Portsmouth don't have a strong midfield it also made sense to change one of our defensive midfielders for a slightly more attacking one in Lucas. Finally Agger has been injured for a year and so he's sure to be feeling the effects of playing matches in a row. However I think the change made sense tactically more than anything. With Crouch as a lone striker there was always going to be the possibility of hundreds of long balls. Sami has the height to deal with it more effectively and he is also better in the air than Agger. As we have trained with Crouch for years, I would also think that Rafa would know which of his defenders is the most effective against him!

Every change made sense to me and was about either injury or tactics. I don't think Rafa "rotated" for the sake of it and so lots of the articles on this are a load of rubbish. Most of the ex-players who have spoken about it haven't even seemed to consider that we had two injuries, they've just jumped in to criticise without thinking why Rafa has made his selection choices.

So Chelsea and Arsenal are out of the title race then? Good times.

Yep ;D

My post is more about attitude: it's not that I think a draw would be a disaster, or that if we don't win at White Hart Lane we can't win the league. It's more that, with the league the way it is now, there's very little room for slip-ups. Being held by the bottom side in the league would be considered a slip up, so we have to go there with the attitude that this is a must-win game, not that a draw would be an acceptable result.

Of course you could say we should go to every game with that attitude, but this isn't like playing Chelsea away, where going into the game you'd be happy with a draw. That's all I'm saying.

Even against Arsenal, Spurs looked poor and like they were there for the taking. I don't expect us to be as naive as Arsenal, and so I think we'll win.

Lawrenson again doesn't believe in us and predicts a 1-1. The thing is, our team will not shit out like Arsenal did in injury time on Wednesday.

Let the press talk up this revival of Spurs and let us carry on playing the way we are at the moment. We tend to get good results at White Hart Lane, always sticks in my head for Cisse's first league goal for us there.

I'll say a 2-1, them getting a late Bent goal.

I think we will dominate them in midfield and score at least a couple past them. Prediction 2-0. Keane to score without a doubt.

                        Reina

Arbeloa  Carragher  Agger  Dossena
         
           Mascherano  Alonso

  Pennant        Gerrard       Riera

                        Keane

Kuyt deserves a rest, I think, with so many matches in such a short space of time, and I be honest, I don't think Kuyt is quite as needed in this match - Assou-Ekotto doesn't seem to offer much of a threat going forward, and Bale seems to be playing further forward... So we don't have to pin their defence back (if anything, they're likely to defend too deeply). On the other hand, Pennant could litter their box with crosses (as could Riera), placing their comedy defensive act under extreme pressure.

So far we have passed all the tests of character - including, as Rafa pointed out, winning when there has been some necessary rotation. The next test will be if we can bounce back from the inevitable slip-up while the media, including some of our ex-players, are lining up to tell us why this shows we won't win the league. I would prefer the slip-up not to come on Saturday so soon after we've gone clear. Also, it would be nice to put superman back in his box, cocky little tw*t.

We won this fixture last season, so I see no reason why we can not do it again.

Spurs are defensively crap at the moment & Gomes is very suspect, flapping at crosses/corners. Carragher & Agger should keep Bent & Pavlyuchenko quiet (Will be interesting to watch that match up). Plus Keane returning to WHL & in search of goal against his former club.

Obviously the Harry Redknapp factor should be taken into consideration, but the return of Nando on the pitch is to our advantage
I'm not saying he's not a good manager but you people are talking about him as if he was Capello FFS.

Positive mental attitude works wonders  :), still only early days for Redknapp at Spurs but their psychological attitude to their last couple of games certainly seems to have changed,

Hopefully Kuyt gets a rest this match and Torres is back with Babel playing down the right flank and Riera back on the left.

I fear this game is becoming more about the return of Robbie Keane to WHL than about the 3 points.

we should be all right as long as we dont concede early - they will come at us and this will suit us, if Torres playsthen i see us destroying them on the counter - they got no good defensive midfielders to stop us playing our game

Agreed, possibley 45 minutes each, but definitely start with Torres.

still though, I wouldn't want to play Torres for the whole match.
Eventhough I don't know if he is fully recovered, as hamstrings can keep coming back eg Michael Owen.

Lets hope Robbie wants to show the spurs fans why he left WHL as he is with a much better side now.

I disagree in that I think Pompeys centre midfield is stronger than Spurs', though weaker out wide. Also Lucas didn't give us any more going forward than Masch does. He was right to rest Keane and Riera if not 100% but was a little surprised about Agger, even against Crouch we didn't need Sami in there, would have liked to keep some continuity in that position. Agger's played a few games now be surprised if he was fatigued.

Can see us being under the cosh for long periods. Good thing is that Carra and Dagger are starting to build up a good partnership again, so I can't see a high scoring game.

Would be delighted to nick a 1-0 win here, it'll be tough.

Rafa Benitez ponders White Hart Lane return for Fernando Torres
OCT 31 2008 BY TONY BARRETT, LIVERPOOL ECHO

RAFA BENITEZ is weighing up whether or not to recall Fernando Torres to his squad for Liverpool's trip to White Hart Lane.

Reports had suggested the Spanish striker would be fit enough to make his return against Spurs tomorrow but Benitez is considering leaving Torres at Melwood to continue his recuperation from injury.

The 24-year-old has missed Liverpool's last four games with a hamstring strain picked up on international duty with Spain, and although he has now returned to training, the Reds boss is adamant he will not plunge his top scorer into action before he is totally ready.

In Torres' absence, Liverpool have won three and drawn one of those four games, even managing to inflict defeat on Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, and Rafa Benitez believes this proves he has a squad at his disposal which can cope with the loss of even its biggest names.

"In the past, perhaps we did not have the ability to cope because maybe we did not have the same quality," said the Reds boss.

"But now we have won some important games without some of our best players."We managed to beat Man United without Torres and Steven Gerrard was only fit enough to come on as a substitute late on in that game.

"Last week we won at Chelsea without Torres so that should give the players confidence that we can win games even when we have injuries.

"It could be better if Torres remains on Merseyside and does not travel with the squad for the Spurs game but we will see."

Daniel Agger, Javier Mascherano, Robbie Keane and Albert Riera are all likely to return to the starting line up after being rested for the midweek win over Portsmouth, but Benitez admits the form of some of his fringe players is giving him food for thought ahead of tomorrow's game.

He added: "The result against Portsmouth showed the depth and quality of our squad.

"We have competition for places and a great team spirit. "On Wednesday we changed four players and still won the game which is a good sign."We were able to protect a couple of players but now it is a bit more difficult for me because the other players who came into their side did their job and we won the game.

"As a manager you always want competition for places and we have that."

Don't care who starts, or comes on or what.

Just lob the ball into their area.

Constantly.

Gomes is a bag of arse.

Unless Arry plays another keeper, in which case proceed with previous plan.

No mate i just didnt understand them, Gotta atart with Riera me thinks, (same team that beat chelsea) Yossi is deffo more of an impact player, seems to be more productive coming of the bench.

Hmm..you're right...riera seems to be abit slow... Benayoun had a great chance the other day... maybe riera for subs then? I just want to see how Babel plays as a forward and no ta wing..that's all.. Where he can score more goals..

I hope keane gets a good recpection, as I am sure he will.

Don't put any money on it ;) I'm sure a few people will give him a cheer, but I'd be gobsmacked if there weren't a lot of boos as well. 2 months before joining Liverpool he picked up his player of the season award and declared he wanted to finish his career at Spurs. That makes him look a bit of a prick in my books!

We won this fixture last season, so I see no reason why we can not do it again.

Spurs are defensively crap at the moment & Gomes is very suspect, flapping at crosses/corners. Carragher & Agger should keep Bent & Pavlyuchenko quiet (Will be interesting to watch that match up). Plus Keane returning to WHL & in search of goal against his former club.

Obviously the Harry Redknapp factor should be taken into consideration, but the return of Nando on the pitch is to our advantage

Can't see him resting our Captain and best player for a pivitol fixture in our season.

He's get lambasted if we didn't win.

C>to win the PL EVERY game will now on be "pivitol" ?...if SG is "match-tired" ..its maybe better to play with palyers that are fresher.. I know theres a lot of "Arry hype" ..but spurs are at the bottom of the PL, I am of the opinion that we can rest our Capt. against a team at the opposite end of the PL, if he needs it??..otherwise he might make mistakes or get injured whilst not at his sharpest..theres 28 more Pl (and hopefulllky several Cl) games, at least we need him for too???
