I reckon you will struggle against Napoli though, unless you get an early goal and then you'll probably batter them.
 
Very tough last games for both 'Pool and Spurs tbf .... might actually be better for Spurs if Barca largely play the first team ... they don't have much to play for ... but squad players itching for a chance to impress might just be a right handful ....

Interesting point. On the one hand the better but under motivated players on the other the less gifted but more motivated ones. I'd prefer playing the second string because the other issue they have is not being used to playing together. But there are pro and cons - either way is very difficult for us.Good thing is they are not running away with the league so far, so they can switch attention there with the group wrapped up.

Barca have something of an injury crisis at the back at the moment though, IIRC.
Umtiti and Vermaelen are out and they may not want to risk Pique or Lenglet, as one of them getting hurt would be a disaster.
They'll still have a bunch of talented players, of course, but I wouldn't mind them leaving out their best.

There you go again assuming that Liverpool are not trying to win the league and any pressure that they are feeling is about whether they can beat Spurs to 2nd place. It doesn't seem like Spurs fans regard themselves as in a battle for the title which is ridiculous. have you actually looked at the table?

I would say that the title comes down to a 5-team affair between Man City, Spurs, Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal and any of those teams would be stupid to write off their chances with only a 3rd of the season gone.

Forget the 2nd place trophy and the DOLL league - they are inventions of someone who is scared of failure. You (and Liverpool) are actually in a proper title battle and if City falter both are well-placed to mount a serious challenge.

Question ..

You are aware of my wum reputation, yeah?
