Apparently he just punches the oppo's forwards - no need for pace.

But he only gives away on average one foul a game, unlike Dawson...

As it was asked on the other thread, and I am interested how confident you guys are given the good start:

"In all seriousness what result are you boys expecting?" (this weekend)

I've predicted a 3-1 victory for the mighty lillywhites on sunday.

We are much more organised & are very unlikely to just roll over like we did last year & Liverpool being Suarez-less are nowhere near the threat they were last season.

Seeing as it was my question, ill go.

I think this game has come a little early for us id rather have it later in the season when our squad is complete and poch has had a bit more time to work with the players, that said you haven't looked great in either of your two games so I reckon if anyone we would pinch it, heart says 2-1 but head says 2-2.

One thing is for sure though Balotelli will score for you.

I'm going for a Spurs clean sheet and a 2-0 win, Lamela and Adebayor to score. COYS!

I do worry about playing a high line when they have as much pace as they do in their attack.

Rose v Sterling also scares the crap out of me.

Hopefully both Johnson and allen will start for them laugh

At least Rose is quick. What worries me about Rose is that he commits hard and if Sterling is on his A-game then he'll have all the time in the world.

Johnson injured - Lallana fully fit too, so I have a feeling he may go with him ahead of Allen and Henderson drops back

I'm not overly bothered whom Liverpool decide to start with, our movement on & off the ball against QPR was like the good old days at Spurs & i think we will present the fragile Liverpool defence with far too many problems .

Speaking of Rose, he just got an England call-up for our next friendly.

This doesn't surprise me as he's about the only LB who isn't injured at the moment that plays regularly. How the fk Townsend got into the squad I haven't a clue and is a perfect example of "picked on past form".

He has barely played since he was injured last year.

We were pretty good for a good part if the City game but they were clinical and we lacked penetration with only Sturridge front.

Assuming we play Balotelli too I could see an exciting 2-2 game too

We were well on top until Moreno was slow to react to a loose ball in the area - It wont be easy for Spurs (like BCM seem to think)
