Expected the scousers to be on here by now, after all, with all the money they've spent they should be fairly confident

[jellydog]

For me Gerrard and Henderson have already shown the world they are nothing more than ordinary. Our high pressing game will I hope run 'em ragged. Rose to ensure new boy Manquillo has a torrid time, and the other defensive woes that Rodgers is juggling could well have us 2-0 up in the first 30 mins.

Spurs looked good against QPR but QPR is beyond poor. Spurs aren't going to be running around this weekend doing whatever they like even given that Liverpool might not have the best defense in the EPL. Spurs aren't exactly lights out defensively either. Good match for the neutral.

I'd have 4 as the over/under.

really? as rijit and iancnx have already pointed out you're obviously going to batter us. it's probably not even worth us turning up really.

I'm calling for a 2-2 draw Alfie, but I think I'm probably being kind to Spurs. Liverpool doesn't strike me as being too settled yet so some advantage for Spurs I reckon.

Then again maybe Balotelli will score a hat trick and then retire to become a hip hop artiste.

Where exactly did i say that ? Funny how people read what they want to read rather than whats actually there..

[iancnx]

Great banter guys, can't wait for the aftermath when Rodgers comes on post match saying how unlucky they were and the officials' decisions were unbelievably biased.

[iancnx]

Balotelli take note, number 21 just became your unlucky number.....

New Tottenham Hotspur signing Federico Fazio has been handed the number 21 shirt and is available for selection ahead of Liverpools visit on Sunday

Likewise I said nothing about battering anyone. I did say 2-0 up after 30 mins. I suspect Rodgers would then park the bus. But you are right, it probably won't be worth your while turning up as no points = no prizes.

Nice move Iancnx ...We needed someone to get our excuses in early.

Well I just hope its a bloody good game!

[P45Mustang]

Well, like a lot of people said before Moyes got heaved out " I wouldn't employ Baldini to put the cones out."

Potchettino looks innocent to me.

Really Pishflaps?

Have you even watched us? Have you actually seen the huge improvement in his purchases? Dd you know he's just signed a guy called Dier that could well be the bargain of the season!

Pishflaps, you're a clown. Don't really know why i even bother to reply to you.

Who was responsible for the purchase of Dier?

[P45Mustang]

Campari or Carmine and Soda. Slightly bitter.

I will laugh my @rse off if Liverpool hammer Spurs tomorrow.

Cheap flights for Europa League games are available from Luton Airport.

Apparently he trained with us 4 a few days under ari and ramsey sherwoods assistant rated him from his time with the the England u 20's so seems a long term target

Nice one rijit.

No doubt carmine will correct any inaccuracy that does not suit.

Stand in the stands with carmine at WHL, and you will lose.

Make my Sunday, Mario.

im just hoping potts dont press us high cos liverpool have more

than enuf pace and guile in sterling sturridge ect to get

in behind and really cause us probs. In potts we trust, normaly i say that v tongue in cheek but actually for the first time in ??? i actually do trust a spurs manager to get it best as it can be.

[carmine]

Well I just hope its a bloody good game!

I'm sure it will be. With this one i do think its conceivable we could win but i'd take the point now tbh.

I don't rate Ballotelli, never have. He's an imbecile but you might remember last season that Suarez's ban didn't seem to detract from the results on the pitch. Its still the same side bar Suarez and stronger in certain departments. Stronger squad, better bench. The most important thing for me is how we perform. Its the first big test and a measure of where we are.

[rijit]

whoops, --- anyway really looking forward to this one and like most on here just hope its a good entertaing game of football and lets hope the best TEAM on the day wins

[BangrakBob]

That resounding win last week seems to have given a few of you belief in your team again, which is nice. It seems to have really lifted expectation dramatically, which is enjoyable to witness also.

To be fair carms, the amount of money the scousers have spent recently we shouldn't be getting anywhere near them so anything will be a bonus.

I wouldn't say expectation is higher...simply that we appreciate the attacking style of play.

A long way to go with our squad yet before there will be any real belief we can win anything other than a domestic cup.

But everyone on the forums been telling us all our buys bar Eriksen were crap!!

[smokie36]

I believe Bob was right at the forefront of that so hopefully Lamela will set him right today.

I dont think so, u put in 80 mil loss that ure owners have subbbed you and puts you way out in front.

[carmine]

Who knows, we'll see how he does tonight, but theres a list of them regards Lamela. Apparently there was no way he was going to make it in the premier league. Ofcourse he spent almost the entire season injured but that was conveniently forgotten about. Theres at least four on here that think they are a better judge of talent than Maradona!

If Levy was convinced enough to make him our record signing then that says it all.
