But will you post your starting XI, & how you would line up the team, in the Liverpool match thread, before the team is announced? It's a simple enough suggestion & you could have done it in the time it took you to have a rant.
Or would you prefer to rant at people in an attempt to prove a non existent point?
All that matters is 3 points tomorrow. You get to name your team & formation ahead of the match. Who would you start, & what would the formation be? How would you nullify Klopp's team? I thought you'd enjoy this little experiment.
It's "preferred" actually.My preseason prefered outfield just scored the winner.
"Duuuur, what's your prefered lineup?"
Rant? You know what exasperation sounds like? You two taking the piss of my management skills when my lineups were played in real life...and coincided with both my misgivings and positives coming true?
Asking me about lineups? How many times exactly do I have to post I pref Eriksen and Lamela are separated?
You both just got caught out. Now you are rolling into a ball of repetition.
You got owned. Both claimed I was clueless when you didn't read my posts. You just went along with the clique. You both didn't read that I predicted the exact lineup Poch went with before the season. Otherwise why would you both scoff at the thought of my managerial prowess?
Making fun of my management skills when I what? Just watched Poch play my team that scored? Timing much?
Hmmm. Gibbsy has banged on about his prefered lineup non stop. Let's ask him about his prefered lineup!
And what makes it funnier is one of you used the word hindsight. That is what has you in "answer my question" loop.
You always do this. You can score a "victory" if "I refuse to answer a (dumb) question" I've already answered. Many many times.
What do you think I'm going to post? Start with Carroll, Lamela, Eriksen in the three!?!
You think I want to start the team that struggled at home to a shit team? Or the team that I wanted preseason that scored against them?
How about this: stop the blatant BS and perhaps...oh I don't know...Talk about the Liverpool game in the match thread? Not jam up the Mason thread with obtuse wank.
You have such a weak game. I'm probably the most repetitive poster in Spurs history. Pretending you don't know what team I would put out is such a paper thin, zero effort attempt to protect your egos.
Ah well. At least I got some laughs in after the disappointment of Masons situation.
Has there been anything positive Spurs has ever done that you haven't taken personal credit for?My preseason prefered outfield just scored the winner.

my management skills
I think Gibbs's team is very clear
[formation=442, Beast, Beast, Beast, beast, Beast, Beast, Beast, Beast, Lamela or Eriksen, Beast, Beast][/formation]

AHAHAHHA claiming Rose now yea?When it comes to my number one team
I consider Alli, Janssen, Kane, Dembele, Walker, Rose etc to be beasts.
AHAHAHHA claiming Rose now yea?
See what I mean? Parody.
So you rate Rose? Interesting. Where would you play him tomorrow? Would you have him in an attacking role left midfield? Would you put Davies as LB? Do you think that would nullify Klopp down the right hand side of the pitch & keep them pegged back? I'm really not interested in rants about past events coming up "Gibbsy" or however you like to refer to yourself. I'm interested to know your starting XI tomorrow (not last week or pre season) & how you would line them up. It shouldn't be your little secret. The time it's taken for all this unnecessary ranting, you could have put up several different teams & formations on the Liverpool match thread.When it comes to my number one team
I consider Alli, Janssen, Kane, Dembele, Walker, Rose etc to be beasts.
It's funny reading that list...yet you use the king of the cloggers in your pic?
I don't think you are the clique. You make a lot of good posts. But it's easy for people to get dragged into the bullying.
I used to get the fat Sam thing a lot. Then we almost won the title with the above players I mentioned. And we imploded when two beasts were banned.
My opinion is now virtually your starting 11. Funny how that happened eh?
When we signed battlers like Wanyama and Janssen...
It's good to be a Gibbsy. I think the biggest travesty of the tired old fat Sam reference is even our defensive players Wanyama, Dier, Toby etc are fucking good footballers.
Dembele is a clogger?
It's wierd when you think about it. I am the minority.

looks about rightOk so from what you say would this be your team for tomorrow?
[formation=4231, Lloris, Walker, Toby, Wimmer?, Rose, Waynama, Dier, Lamela?, Kane, Alli, Janssen][/formation]
OR...is he worried that any variation on what nearly all of us believe to be our strongest XI would result in hilarity across the forum?
If he is in line with Poch's thinking, then he will name Poch's team EXACTLY (his words). If he isn't, then let's see an explanation of how his starting XI would line up & counter Liverpool. We know how Liverpool will seek to play us & it will be a battle of 2 pressing teams. How would we line up against them & who will unlock them? I'd have though it would be Gibbsy dreamland to be asked to show us all his prowess in advance of a game.
What on earth are you going on about? This isn't a pile on or any such thing.You guys try so hard. Clinging together. Hurt that my ideal team was Poch's winning ticket. And I spelled it out. Not only the team he would start, but the slight variation that would work better. Before a ball was kicked this season.
I'm not sure what 100% prediction of Poch's previous starting 11 has done to you guys? I know it's completely fucked up Mason's thread.
That's what the clique do. Cause shit fest after shitfest and proper Mason debate dies. What's worse is you blame me. For what? Responding to dozens of baited "questions"? That everyone knows the answer to bar newcomers? Then blow your rape whistles because I responded?
The problem with this forum is not the Sammy's and Gibbsy's etc. It's the loudest core clique that drove away good posters. Fed up of pileons and Joe etc melting down into puddles of drunken froth.
As ever I answer BAITS. If no baiting started then we'd still be talking about Mason. We are not.
I didn't even read anything of the above shit, briefly scanned and saw it's the same old shit. Which is ironic, as that's what i was trying to say with the broken record and self-fulfilling prophecy stuff.
Oh well
