Obviously, Liverpool go into the match as red-hot favourites.
But with Spurs having nothing to lose, I think we have a chance of perhaps getting something.

Lawro's prediction: Liverpool 2-0 Tottenham Hotspur

Classic stuff from Lawro

"I don't think Tottenham will go to Anfield and try to defend.

In fact, I don't think they can defend."

"I don't think Tottenham will go to Anfield and try to defend.

In fact, I don't think they can defend."

Liverpool have conceded 39 Premier League goals this season.

And Spurs - a team which can't defend?

Just one more.

Exactly. And we have conceded 40 - one more than them

Exactly. And we have conceded 40 - one more than them

half of those in just 4 games.
defensively, we are a street above liverpool. their main defensive tactic at set pieces is "have Skrtel pull the shirt of the oppositions most dangerous player"

100 % correct. And Liverpool - in fact - have conceded just one less goal than Tottenham. Which is 39.

Liverpool have scored before half-time in their last 21 Premier League games, an all-time record

Let's hope there's no repeat of the start against Southampton :avbpray:

Naughton - I'm looking at you!

When you put our defensive record in the context above it really doesn't feel as bad as it did.

Rose Tinted.

 

[El flaco]

Bigging up our defensive record usually precedes an absolute beasting.

 

[PhillyHotspur]

Plz Timmy

No High line. Give Spurs a chance

 

[KeaneBean]

Ok, I'm feeling strangly optimistic. So optimistic in fact I really want to put a bet on a Spurs win and a top 4 finish... But underage betting and all that.

 

[Benny]

Give me half your winnings and I'll put it on for you.

Half of nothing is nothing.

When AVB was sacked we'd conceded 21 in 16, since Timmy we've conceded 19 in 15.

To be honest i'm genuinely surprised, we seemed very well organized in defence under AVB although I guess we had a few big rapings. Provided we concede 2 or less on Sunday then in theory Sherwood provides better defence than AVB (who'd have thought it!)

 

[Claud601]

I'm going to be raging drunk for this match i can feel it bubbling up already

Maybe we actually have a half decent team regardless of the manager....

But when the going gets tough, that is when a manager can change a game and win it for us. Not too sure either of our two this season quite had that in their locker.

I reckon we experiment with an extreme high line in this match. So high, in fact, that everyone is in line with Adebayor. That'll work I'm sure.
