Unfortunately Son, Mason and Bentaleb are injured still and Dier is suspended.

Will be Alli and Dembele maybe as the midfield two? Kane, Chadli, Eriksen and Lamela in front.

[Black can man]

I think Njie may well get a start ahead of Chadders , Not sure if Dembele is up for the role i think Poch wants him to play, buts it's only Liverpool .


Wouldn't be surprised if Wimmer gets a go there

We will get hammered as usual

[ascayman]

Dier missing is huge, he's been our best player this season and with Bentalab still out it we have no like for like replacement.

Boss has just won 'Manager of the Month' as well so we'll get stuffed.

Looking forward to it though.

Yep! Manager of the month and new manager bounce for Liverpool...we're doomed!

I was reading an article in GQ by Martin Samuel talking about the term 'parking the bus' and where it originated from (that isn't the crux of the article by the way, it's a good read if you can find it). In it he pointed out that it was coined by Jose after their draw with Spurs in 2004.

To see how life at Spurs has changed in the last 10 years I thought I'd have a look back at that team. Check out some of these names!

Robinson, Naybet, King, Edman, Pamarot, Atouba (Brown 74), Redknapp, Pedro Mendes, Davies, Defoe (Kanoute 86), Keane.
Subs Not Used: Keller, Mabizela, Gardner.

Atouba was class

Different game. "Park the Bus" was at the Bridge. Hence..."they came and parked the bus...".

I was at that game, typical classless mourinho deflection tactics. We should have actually won the game with a Robbie keane header could have had a penalty too.

Great player but as others have said would he still be playing for Spurs if he wasn't so injury prone?

ascayman said:

That was the best tackle I've ever seen, its such a shame about his injuries, He was the best English centre back of his generation, better than Rio and better than Terry.

Crikey, how bad was that Spurs team


C'mon Marty boy a new thread beckons old boy.

He might as well change the scouse one as well while he's at it, depending on the result tomorrow of course.

That's why I do laugh at some of the comments sometimes from Spurs fans about the current team or the progress that's been made.

Just look at that dross we used to have to watch! How on earth did they keep a clean sheet ever?!
