Spurs V Liverpool

Besides that he has been pretty good, his passing has been good, Lucas looks more composed and confident which is a great sign. Kuyt doesn't like crossing the ball. Maxi has been good but he should have just slid it past Gomes there. Skrtel has been amazing, not just ebcause of his gaol but he him and Carragher have been solid. Konchesky and Johnson, however, are getting raped.

That was me.

Dunno what happened, he was amazing at them last game and now he's suddenly turned shit.

Liverpool curse, we're destined not to have a good corner taker.

Is it you who thinks Aquilani is better than Meireles?

Carra's block was muy sexy.

We're getting raped for pace by Bale and Lennon.

Gotta love how Spurs are basically playing with 10 men as Palacios is so shit

I'm struggling to remember him doing anything good

But I'm gonna go with Spurs coming out fighting second half ala Arsenal game and nicking a goal within 5/10 minutes.

Spurs have used up 2 subs and Bale is looking a bit lethargic compared to normal. Mid-week fixture has defo had an effect. We have 3 subs available to us to run at tired legs (Babel, Jovanovic) and we have had the lions share of chances to score. If we do not win this one, I'm going to go mad.

Can see us getting a player sent off though, worryingly. A few of our players in the book already.

Lucas and Meireles have been immense. Gerrard is not missed at the moment.

45 mins to go. COME ON.

Good half that

Pfft.

Not going to have a dig at you then. But there's someone in the Liverpool thread who never shuts up about how Aqua' is better than Meireles.. Raul has done more so far than any game Aquilani has been in.

I prefer Raul tbh

Aquilani-Maxi partnership was sexual, the signs were there then we fucked him off.

Didn't even realise Gerrard was missing

Why not both?

Not going to argue with anybody so I'm just going to agree with this. Raul suits us and Premier League SO much more than Aquilani.

Bogdan wrote:Why not both?

Because they're both not here

They'll come at us in the second half, but by doing so, they'll leave gaps and we'll find ourselves through on goal, like we saw with Maxi and Torres after Spurs conceded.

I call that we take Konchesky off (booking) and throw Aurelio on. Plus he'd be a good corner taker.

lol:

''Spurs will never be champions if they cannot beat the B-rated kops''

So I guess Chelsea wont be champions then eh??

Hmm. Just realised N'Gog has been abit useless. Doesn't seem the type of game for him.

Lucas has been good. Played some quality passes and closed down well. Did a great tackle on someone.

Yeah Meireles is better for us than Aquilani was, but he's been amazing for Juventus.
I have slated Merieles quite alot, I've not comapred him to Aquilani until now, though.

Merieles and Aquilani would be amazing together . Roy wants him back too, next year is our year .

Jord wrote:Hmm. Just realised N'Gog has been abit useless. Doesn't seem the type of game for him.

He semi-assisted the goal. (LOL) and wasn't it him who put Torres through in the last min of the first half?

Palacios I think, which probably takes a bit away from Lucas given how shite Palacios has been.

Fuck me, I literally shouted the house down when Maxi and Torres missed them chances, who's happy? Cause I'm fuckin certainly not, should be 2-0, we had 2 fucking clear chances to make it 2-0. Not good enough, set in stone now, am fucking convinced we'll go on and lose this game.

I'll tell you something, its going 2 ways. We'll either pick up where we left off and go and beat spurs 2,3-0 ( them having an off day to ) OR they'll come out all guns blazing in the second, turn the game around win 2-1 and we'll all be sitting here in an hours time talking about Maxi and Torres's chances in the first half!

At this level, you simply cannot miss chances like that, I can't emphasise it enough. You all may think oh calm down your being abit too picky, but I'm really not, the margin of error at this level is so fine.

Why? He's not done much wrong for us tbh. Never stops running either(Another thing he has over Aquilani)

Sounds like a plan, though Carragher looks the more likley to be sent off.

I agree. Them chances will come back to haunt us if we're not careful.

Maxi's been trying to walk it into the net.

He's making Poulson look good at the moment

I hope we don't park the bus. We'll lose for sure.
