After watching a full strength Liverpool side get completely outplayed and lucky to escape with a draw, away at Reading on the weekend i am pretty confident about this one. They were absoltuley terrible in all areas against a struggling Championship side. Even though it is away at Anfield at the moment teams who are going there are not being dominated by Liverpool like they use to be. Im confident for a win but would settle for a draw i suppose. Another clean sheet would be great also. Spurs 2-1 win, also we should play Modric and Krancjar together.

Just so everyone knows. My Spurs mug that I have had for 30 years and has supplied me with thousands of cuppas while i sat up in the early hours watching the Spurs, a mug that cost a quid from a dodgy roadside market and given to me from a fellow Kiwi as i was on my way back to NZ, broke just before Christmas.
This mug had written on it 'Spurs are magic' but for many of those games the magic was in short supply. Since the shattering of the mug Spurs have been unbeaten and have not conceded a goal. Coincidence??? I think not.
My belief is that the mug had a telepathic link with Gomes and the breaking of the mug has released the true athlete within the mad Brazilian. The best is yet to come.

Is Lennon available for this one? Also what is the news on BAE?

Regardless of injury satus BAE cannot play while the cup of nations is going on, FINAL. Lennon is struggling to be fit, however that could mean we line up exactley the same as we did against the posh, bar hutton. We've been playing so well of late, whereas the scousers are doing sh*te. Villa beat 'em at anfield and i think we will too. 2-0 Spurs!

C.O.Y.S

I think Crouch and King will play, rather than Keane and Bassong.

I heard Lennon is struggling also
 
Only thing is will this leave us to narrow with both Modric and Kranjcar as they both like to cut inside.

But that might be a good thing against the 5 in the middle of Liverpool

Liverpool's Premier League match against Tottenham on Sunday has been postponed due to the icy weather conditions.

Although the pitch at Anfield is playable, police advised that the game be called off due to safety concerns.

The roads and paths leading to the stadium remain treacherous, and the freezing temperatures are expected to continue over the weekend.

No new date has been set for the re-arranged match.

A Liverpool club spokesman said: "The safety of our fans is paramount and an assessment of both the prevailing conditions and the weather forecast for the next 48 hours has been made in arriving at the decision to call off the match.

"All existing tickets will remain valid for the re-arranged game. We will also offer refunds and will publish a deadline date for refunds once the re-arranged fixture date is announced, such that we can re-sell any returned seats to other supporters."

Pity I think we may well have beaten them on sunday. By the time we  get to the new date they will have strengthened in the transfer window and may well be a  different proposition. On the plus side we should have Lennon back. Just as an aside how come we are allowed to go sliding about on the ice in Tescos car park but cannot go and watch a game of football in case we fall on our asses. Surely the Premier League is not running scared from the ambulance chasing lawyers.

Great now i will have to take the missus shopping or find something better to do (any ideas?) I hate weekends without Premier League football such as the international break but with NO footy at all!?! I was going to go with my brother to watch his side (Bristol City) play away at Crystal Palace but that one has just been called off aswell.

Liverpool have the option of reverting to a more attack-minded line-up for this rearranged Premier League game.

New signing Maxi Rodriguez could make his full debut, while Albert Riera and Alberto Aquilani may be promoted from the bench.

Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp says he will rotate his side, with Peter Crouch among those expected to benefit.

Spurs are hopeful that Ledley King will be fit to play, having missed Saturday's home draw against Hill.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Liverpool

Suspended: None Doubtful: None

Injured: Benayoun (broken rib), El Zhar & Kelly (both ankle), Gerrard (hamstring), Johnson & Torres (both knee)

Tottenham

Suspended: None Doubtful: King (knee)

Injured: Assou-Ekotto, Hutton, Lennon & Woodgate (all groin), Cudicini (broken wrists)


MATCH PREVIEW
Liverpool may have laboured while Tottenham have been lauded, but a home win at Anfield would leave just a point between them in the pursuit of a Champions League spot.

It is shaping up to be a four-way battle for fourth place, with Liverpool reprieved at the weekend by the failure of the other contenders to even manage a goal between them. Liverpool's prospects will be given renewed hope if they can win this rearranged fixture, which fell victim to the freezing temperatures earlier this month.

Tottenham were unlucky to find Hull goalkeeper Boaz Myhill in inspired form in Saturday's goalless draw and their progress has been so impressive that their manager Harry Redknapp, a renowned wheeler-dealer, claims there is not one player he is thinking of signing during the January transfer window.

Nonetheless, Redknapp has been unable to buy a win at Anfield; his previous 500 Premier League games as a manager do not include a single away victory against Liverpool. He has only managed four draws in 12 visits, with his side failing to score on nine occasions.

Redknapp will be acutely aware this is an opportune time to end Liverpool's stranglehold, both on this fixture and a top-four finish.

O'Hara's back and may play as Harry has said that he may rotate the side. Why, God knows

Well, it seems that Huddlestone is out with a knee-injury, so O'Hara will probably play some part.

Gutted Goods7.

As for the game i expect a tight encounter in which Liverpool will be nervy and cagey. An early goal for Spurs could really get their fans on there backs, so they are deffinatly there for the taking, i doubt King and Lennon will be risked, pluse we have defended well over the last 5-6 weeks so no need to change the back 5 from the hull game.
In midfield i expect JJ to deputise for Thudd and Crouchy to replace Keano upto alongside JD

COYS!!

Personally I would start Jamie over Jenas, JJ is too unreliable whereas Jamie puts his heart and soul into each and every performance.
Title: Re: Liverpool v Tottenham
Post by: dedleysting on January 20, 2010, 05:46:26 PM
Hmmm i'd maybe agree with you there but I think harry will go for JJ. He is more capable in driving us forward
Title: Re: Liverpool v Tottenham
Post by: YidJoe24 on January 20, 2010, 06:01:44 PM
For about 10 yards yes, but then he loses the ball.
Title: Re: Liverpool v Tottenham
Post by: dedleysting on January 20, 2010, 06:05:03 PM
He does have an incredible level of fitness and will run and run all day, his work ethic could give him the nod over O'hara. I'm sure Jamie will get on in the second half

Post by: YidJoe24 on January 20, 2010, 06:10:15 PM
What your saying makes sense, and I think 'Arry will pick JJ over Jamie however if it were up to me I would play Jamie, but alas, I am not in charge for this game so we will probably start like this

Gomes - Charlie - Daws - Bassong - Bale - Modric - JJ - Wilson - Niko - Crouch - Defoe
Title: Re: Liverpool v Tottenham
Post by: dedleysting on January 20, 2010, 06:13:19 PM
Yep I would go with that starting 11

Post by: YidJoe24 on January 20, 2010, 06:15:41 PM
What about if it were up to you, because if was up to me we would start like this

Gomes - Charlie - Daws - Bassong - Bale - Modric - Wilson - Jamie - Niko - Keane - Defoe

Post by: SomersetYiddo on January 21, 2010, 12:12:49 PM
We defintley missed Lennon last night, but we cant be so dependant on him if we are going to try and break the top 4. Howard Webb is a s**te ref, he is anti-spurs and always favours the home team, i mean what was wrong with Defoes goal?!?! To be honest we just didnt really look up to it and Liverpool wanted it more and deserved to win. Pretty pissed off with these past two games, Fulham at home next is a MUST win

We looked lathatgic which bewilders me after such a long lay off before the Hull game. Liverpool played witrh that fire in their bellies and we were second best mosr of the night.

Yes we missed Lennon, he's a real outlet and can burn players with his pace, Kranjar did ok but doesnt have great pace down the flanks where we needed it most. I thought Jenas came in and did well actually, i thought he kept the ball moving and had a great effort parried away in the second half. Overall Liverppol had the greater hunger and deserved the win. Decisions happen in games and we didnt get the run of the green that night, but some times you have to make your own luck and i thought we just weren't good enough!
