    All Liverpool gotta do is stick two or three defenders on Kane and they’re guaranteed to be keeping a clean sheet, lol.

    Hugo
    Dier, Lenglet, Davies
    Spence, Hojbjerg, Bissouma, Bentancur, Perisic
    Kane, Gil

    That’s what I’d like but I don’t see it happening. Likely 343 with Emerson, Sessegnon and Lucas all starting, with Perisic moved into the three.

    LDL, like the club he supports, has nowadays given up even trying.

    That KO time means the USA broadcasters expect a big audience.


    "How would you like to line up for this one?"

    I have mixed feelings on this.

    In terms of the "season compass" , there are 2 pts up for
    grabs and 1 pt to be lost. Given that the Poool have been
    quite fragile this PL season I would be open to a full
    Audere est facere starting XI.

    However I am not confident Spurs would not get spanked
    attempting to do so (more so given the dogma mode Conte
    has shown of late with his team sheets) .

    <laugh> I can guarantee you that there's no Fergie nonsense going on. <ok>
    There is a vague pattern to when I post these. Sort of.

    To have such theories by definition means the conspiracy exists.

    Are you forgetting goal machine Hojbjerg?

    Not really: what they need to do is press our midfield and Kane becomes a decoration in the final third

    This is why Pre Season II is so important, as we have a month to get the likes of Bissouma (and likely Skipp) up to speed as not only will they be necessary if Denmark or Uruguay reach the knockout stages, but we'd need another dimension in our play anyway and Bissouma being a press-breaking box-to-box midfielder will go a long way towards that

    Huge news if true. I doubt he'll be fit enough to start but having him back for the last few games is massive.

    Excellent news.

    If he cannot start, hard to see what the team will be

    Lloris
    Sanchez/Tanganga Dier Lenglet
    Emerson/Doherty Hojbjerg Bentacur Davies
    Perisic Kane Sessegnon

    or

    Lloris
    Sanchez/Tanganga Dier Lenglet/Davies
    Emerson/Doherty Bissouma Hojbjerg Bentacur Sessegnon
    Perisic Kane

    neither fill me with optimism. Am I forgetting an option?

    Moura, but he's playing through the pain with an injury.
    Gil? Spence?

    If Moura's out and Kulusevski's not fit enough to start, then I'd put Gil in.
    Push Perisic up ahead of Sessegnon and stick Ringo on the other wing.
    The Croatian's experience could help his wingback and opposite winger, too.

    I did forget Moura! I didn't include Spence or Gil as it looks like Conte doesn't fancy them yet, but I agree they would be options if it was my decision.
    Was trying to second guess Conte.

    The problem with Lucas Moura is having different faces for his pain. Today it was really bad and they said he was really worried for this. I asked him to try to be available.

    I mean maybe you could just play Gil, who’s looked more impressive and has the potential to be a really good player… oh he’s not carrying any injuries that can be aggravated by further playing either.

    By complete coincidence, Bolsonaro is maybe thinking about considering the possibility of perhaps conceding the election...

    A brave manager IMHO would deem Kulu to be out until after
    WC 2022 (even though the Poool are up next) .

    Tomorrow needs to be the game that stops the rot. Pool are there for the taking. If Spurs don’t get a result tomorrow then it speaks volumes about the mentality.
