Match Day Thread Tottenham Hotspur v Liverpool

Looks like Lamelas coming on

 

I had forgotten Danny Ings existed, but he's on the bench. Good buy!

 

Lamela getting ready to come on. Any of the 3 could be hauled but I would personally take off Carroll and stick him in as a proper #10

 

N'Koudou's confidence looks like it's take a big hit from his mistake.

 

Preston falling part: 2-0 and a man down at HT, now 0-4 down within ten minutes of the restart.

 

Davies has strayed out of position far too often

 

He's been injured for over a year, to be fair. Got crocked in Klopp's first training session.

 

And Carroll does make way for Lamela. Disappointing evening for the not-so-youngster.

 

Onomah needs to up his game. Appreciate he's young, but he needs to work harder. He didnt close that down at all. Great save by Vorm

 

Lamela for Carroll. Will he go out wide or will Onomah stay on the wing?

 

Carroll off. Looks lightweight and plays that way. Shame

 

I hate to say this, but one set of reserves are playing as though they truly believe that a good performance will earn them a place in the first team. The other set is not. I'll leave you to work out which is which.

2-0.

 

Janssen waiting for about six different passes and none of them come.

 

And that's the end of that. We've looked poor going forward and ropey at the back.
Really disappointing performance, even if it is the reserves.

 

Wanyama coming on for Dier? Why? Seems like a waste.

 

Bit late to bring some steel on......

 

Ings coming on for them I can understand, but why risk Clyne? Odd.

 

Would be good for one of the youngsters (or Janssen) to give us something to cheer about before the game is done.

I don't like this surrendering in the cups. Not only does it rule out a trophy but it also starts a culture of losing to these sides for the players.

 

Nobody has fronted up in CM.
Which is why Eriksen / Lamela etc have been shoo-ins while playing meh.

 

50/50 chance that Dier might start at centre back against Leicester
