You don't count because you always say the same thing. I was referring to the synchronised worrying that goes on before every game.
I think Spurs have been the most consistent side over the last two seasons and will finish in the top 4 this time around aswell. I don't see too many weaknesses in that squad and this is a tough away game. I'm thinking score draw
Can we not just bond in our worry then Cheer the side on during the game. You hardly want us at each other's throats now do you.
There's no doubt that going at Spurs is the way to do it and it's not like we're going to change our style so this should be interesting.
It has to be high energy in the middle and a frenetic type of game. That can negate Eriksen and if that occurs then kane in general play isn't all that. Kane finds space, he will svore if a ball gets to him after bring quiet all game so we cannot let up for one second. Imo front 3 play the 90 as thry have been minded enough yo do so and the 3 cms is where subs should be. E.g. Milner on for windy after 60mins.we need energy in there all game. I would like a game for lots of running about but neither side getting a real chance. 0-0 would be great. Mourinho parks a bus to do this, we have to do it by out running a spurs side which is always up there with us in yards covered
True test of klopp's credentials. If we manage to get a result at Wembley we would have done well. Maribor gave us confidence but Spurs are flying themselves and now an established top 4-5 side. I'd like a 2-1 win but will take a point. Which unfortunately may mean we slide further down the table.
Unlike Alli, Kane has learned to put a shift in when he's not getting the service he's a better player than he was last season and is a dangerous player even when the game isn't going his way.
He is deffo better than alli as he is focused on the job not his big move but he still has not the pace to make thr magic happen. He is a lethal finisher at all aspects and finds space. 89mins nothing much people could be posting he is in lovren pocket etc then bang goal. My view is this game is key to our top 4 challenge. I think city, Utd and chelsea will finish in that order all 80+. 4th will be a 3 way fight with spurs favourites. Arsenal i think might implode.. might not but we need to best spurs over the season which is not easy at all. We need to start by at least not losing this one.
Currently the top striker in the premiership. He can on his day make the difference and pep calling Spurs the Harry Kane team may seem harsh but not far off. Klopp should adopt a system to stifle him. Sure others like Alli and Eriksen may score too but he is their star player and shutting him out may be key. I am not saying it will be easy.
Imo klopp cannot do that. He needs to chase higher up and limit good ball to eriksen. Dier, etc.. those cms.. hard press. No easy ball from cbs out etc etc. If spurs break press fine.. they win. If Henderson goes pressing and leaves kane and alli v our two cbs.. well.. thry will win. It's all about intensity for me... bit of control. Coutinho dropping to cm making it a midfield 4 etc etc.
You mean do what Mourinho did to us? I get your point. It is all well playing football whenever you can. But if we know that playing expansive football is going to leave you beaten and without a point do you persist nevertheless? There is no doubt that our defence will need protecting by at least one of our midfielders sitting back in front of our two central defenders. We will need discipline from our full backs and not to go too far ahead in wild goose chases. And our attacking front three or four will need to run back and defend. Wembley is a big and unforgiving pitch.
