I dont think the Saints win was lucky at all. Rodgers made a couple of great subs and changed the system, which won us the game.
I agree. And I don't think the City game can be described as a "bad" performance either. Yes, it could have been better, but we played the champions at their gaff with a team still nowhere near settled and gave them a decent game up until an unfortunate error.
yes rodgers made changes.... but we sat back and defended and frankly not once but twice only one team looked like scoring. we got the goal not them... had they scored first we'd have lost I feel we are not there in midfield honestly and while yes we need to settle the CMs should know the score!
Erm... http://talksport.com/magazine/top-t...al-man-united-and-more-feature-our-top-10?p=9 Should be a good game. Good luck.
I imagine Lallana will be a sub. I can see a bit of a selection headache between Markovic and Balotelli (which is a good thing) but of course the decision will come down to tactics. Pace on both wings or two strikers.
I don't understand what you are trying to prove with that link. Nobody cares what talksport listeners think.
Precisely that. A vote on who the most deluded fans are is utterly irrelevant. No idea which vote MITO was referring to, though.
Fair enough, in that case, I agree I have no idea what MITO is talking about 90% of the time, so I wouldn't worry too much about it.
Tottenham's Christian Eriksen: Liverpool will need to be lucky if all their new signings pay off . http://www.standard.co.uk/sport/foo...heir-new-signings-are-to-pay-off-9699123.html Christian Eriksen recognises the rebuilding job at Liverpool only too well. The 23-year-old was one of seven summer signings Tottenham made to offset the loss of star man Gareth Bale last summer. Spurs have made a bright start to life under Mauricio Pochettino but this team, born from the ashes of Baleâs departure to Real Madrid, went through considerable growing pains. A dismal record against the top four condemned Tottenham to another season of pressing their nose against the window of Champions League football, firmly shut out from Europeâs premier competition once more. Liverpool arrive at White Hart Lane on Sunday aiming to prove their own reconstitution has more robust foundations after the departure of Luis Suarez to Barcelona helped fund nine new signings at Anfield. A 3-1 defeat to Manchester City on Monday raised questions over their ability to replicate last seasonâs second-place finish and Eriksen believes they could encounter similar problems to those that Spurs endured 12 months earlier. âIt is true that we went through [what Liverpool are now facing] last year,â said Eriksen. âIt will depend on what team they have and what the new players are bringing in. Everything has to fit. âSometimes you are lucky and sometimes you are a bit unlucky. Last year we made some really good signings, I think. We were just a bit unlucky that nothing really ended up in a big thing. Of course, that can happen with Liverpool as well so sometimes you are lucky and sometimes you arenât. âI came late so for me it was a bit different. The first guy we signed [Paulinho] will have seen six other players come in and that was probably a bit weird for him. They are the new faces they have to see and it is a big deal when new players come in. âWhen I came in, the four or five players before me I saw like everybody â they were all new players to me. We have a good group, though, so I havenât seen any problems with anybody
End of the day our midfield is exactly the same and attack only lost Suarez who we lost for the first five games last season. Defence is the biggest issue which needs settling down and I expect them too. Spurs in the other hand finished the 12/13 season against Sunderland with this team: 25 Lloris 05 Vertonghen 20 Dawson 28 Walker 32 Assou-Ekotto (Sigurdsson - 83' ) 02 Dempsey (Defoe - 73' ) 06 Huddlestone 07 Lennon 08 Parker (Dembele - 64' ) 11 Bale Booked 10 Adebayor The team who started against Crystal Palace, the first game of the 2013 season: 25 Lloris 02 Walker 03 Rose (Kaboul - 86' ) 05 Vertonghen 20 Dawson 07 Lennon 08 Paulinho 19 Dembele (Capoue - 57' ) 21 Chadli 22 Sigurdsson 09 Soldado (Defoe - 83' ) They basically changed the whole team, we have not done so.
Have we signed Song, I know he is a strong midfielder, but can the whole team get on him and he still can control things in the middle of the park. What a player!
