    <peacedove>Ange Postecoglou usually win something in his second year as a manager.Arne Slot wants something in his first year as manager.Ange Postecoglou's job may depend on the result of this second leg of this league cup. It is difficult to see how he will survive if he fails to reach the final. In the first leg, Tottenham won the game by a single goal. Tottenham have the advantage, but the second leg is in Anfield.

    Referee has been appointed for this game. He is Craig Pawson

    Full strength. Go hell for leather and hope to win by 2 goals.

    Does anyone know if it's pens after 90 or is this tragic stupidty of a semi final also over 120mins if we win by 1 goal?

    All I know is that there must be a winner. We better get the job done in 90 minutes.

    We absolutely can't lose to Spurs over a two legged tie. I could never show myself in public again.

    I don't trust Spurs at all so I'm just assuming VDV will play on Thursday, and he is integral to how they play.

    According to Spurs manager, he usually wins something during his second tenure in office. We must not underestimate them.They need it more than us.
    We must beat them by three or more goals and prevent them from scoring away goal.

    I know two... Which is actually a lot considering they haven't won anything in forever. Most fans I meet here are fans whoever won the title most recently. <laugh>

    It won't be the shame of ribbing though (haven't seen either of those Spurs fans in a few years)... It will be the internal shame of knowing losing to a team like Spurs.

    If VdV plays on Thursday then we really ought to be lumping balls in behind, his set back after being thrown in too early last time will surely be playing on his mind

    he was left out for their last game after a run out in the previous one so would imagine he has been fully tested but he is bound do have doubts considering the number of hamstring problems he has had

    They will have to risk both vdv and romero fairly soon anyway because this can't go on

    Tottenham defender Radu Dragusin will have surgery after sustaining an anterior cruciate ligament injury.

    Of the 24 Tottenham players to start a Premier League match this season, not including goalkeeper and January arrival Antonin Kinsky, only five have not missed a game through injury during the campaign.

    Right-back Pedro Porro and midfielders Dejan Kulusevski and Lucas Bergvall are the only first-team regulars to not miss a Tottenham game through injury. Goalkeeper Brandon Austin and defender Sergio Reguilon have also not missed a game due to a listed injury.

    In all competitions, Tottenham have played 37 matches this season. Five players have missed over half of them, while seven have missed 10 or more.

    Here is a full list of every Tottenham player who has started a league match (not including Kinsky) and how many games they have missed in all competitions this term.

    Guglielmo Vicario: 19

    Fraser Forster: 4

    Cristian Romero: 19

    Micky van de Ven: 21

    Radu Dragusin: 1

    Ben Davies: 11

    Destiny Udogie: 9

    Djed Spence: 8

    Rodrigo Bentancur: 4

    Yves Bissouma: 4

    Pape Matar Sarr: 1

    James Maddison: 3

    Son Heung-min: 6

    Timo Werner: 8

    Mikey Moore: 14

    Brennan Johnson: 5

    Wilson Odobert: 30

    Dominic Solanke: 7

    Richarlison: 24

    So for my guess.

    Liverpool Allisson, Bradley, Konate, Van Dijk, robertson, Gravenberch, Mac Allister, Salah, Szoboszlai, Gakpo, Diaz

    I don't like diaz at 9 at all. Working un europe once against a side not really covering himself

    Tottenham Kinsky, Porro, Danso, Van de Ven, Spence, Sarr, Bentancur, Bergvall, Kulusevski, Tel, Son.

    Should be interesting.
