Gameweek 3 gets underway in some style: on paper, the early kick-off at White Hart Lane has the makings of a classic. However, much depends on the version of the Liverpool side that turns up.

Jurgen Klopp’s men were spectacular in the season opener against Spurs’ north London rivals, Arsenal. They followed that display a week later with frustrating showing at Burnley, as they slipped to a 2-0 reverse having hogged 83% of the ball.

As for Spurs, they’ve certainly failed to spark to this point. A stalemate with Everton was followed by a stuttering display against Palace, which eventually saw them grind out a 1-0 win.

Harry Kane is back as the lone striker. Philippe Coutinho is fit and on the Liverpool teamsheet. The scene is set for the big Fantasy assets to come to the fore.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

      He's on the brink of being essential. He's nailed in my squad as it stands anyway.

      1. Worzel Gummidge

        Really?

        10 years, 24 days ago

        This^....I'm not a pool fan but his foot lagging foot was kicked by lamela which make him trip. It's clearly a pen and tbh they should have had another earlier off the corner

    2. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 24 days ago

      There was contact before which made him trip over his own feet.

    3. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Nah. Lamella slightly clipped his trailing foot. Enough to send him over. Watch in slomo

    4. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Nah mate, the only thing he tied up in knots was his stuipid hair.

      Lol @lolers

    3. Worzel Gummidge
      10 years, 24 days ago

      It is an assist FFS

    4. Keep Calm and Play On
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Firmino taken off in 60 min for Sturridge just for firmino owners like yourself

  13. Ziro
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 24 days ago

    Milner scored this to cheer up Bubz.

    1. Bubz
      • 13 Years

      😆

    Lamela to come off at HT

    Awful performance

    1. Mr. Blonde
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Liking the look of Lamela to Mane next week

    2. Les Bleus
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 24 days ago

      I said the same thing. But for who?

    3. JIM BOB
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Get a grip. Eriksen has been just as bad,

      Stop trying to scapegoat Lamela when the whole Spurs team have been bullied

      1. rdamjan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 24 days ago

        This.

      2. Jimbo123
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 24 days ago

        Well said.

      3. Keep Calm and Play On
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 24 days ago

        Very true, none of them are threatening a place in my squad

  15. TheTinman
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 24 days ago

    Cout yellow. Good screw the casuals.

  16. Rainer
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 24 days ago

    Yellow for you, yellow for you, yellow for you

    1. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Look at the stars,
      Look how they shine for you,
      And everything you do,
      Yeah, they were all yellow.
      I came along,
      I wrote a song for you,
      And all the things you do,
      And it was called "Yellow".
      So then I took my turn,
      Oh what a thing to have done,
      And it was all yellow.

      1. Rainer
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 24 days ago

        Did you write this yourself, Fred?

        1. Fred54
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 24 days ago

          Yeah its dedicated to my kid called Banana.

  17. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 24 days ago

    Can't understand why anyone would sell firmino

    1. andymck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Wanted to jump on the Barkley bandwagon, can always WC him back in if I need to I guess..

    2. Worzel Gummidge
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Me neither. An assist every 3 games is awesome.

    3. Parm
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 24 days ago

      To get Mané.

    4. Lizard Lips
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Same. Been saying all well it's madness. Last season forgotten in two games, too many people make mad short term result based decisions.

      1. Keep Calm and Play On
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 24 days ago

        Your logic is the same just reversed...Firmino gets one assists after 3 games and now he is essential?? If anyone looks threatening on the Liverpool side it's Mane

    5. Siggy in the Middle
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Had to raise money to get Ibra. It was either Firminio, Hazard or Aguero. Had to be Firminio.

    6. THE Wild Rover
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Sturridge

  18. Kaneyonero
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 24 days ago

    Coutinho to Redmond not looking too bad now

    1. Keep Calm and Play On
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 24 days ago

      I think it was a very good shout, countinho looks terrible but it's just like him to go get a screamer from 30 yards

  19. Twisted Saltergater
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 17 Years
    10 years, 24 days ago

    Would never have been a pen with Walker at RB. Funny how things turn out.

    1. Keep Calm and Play On
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Very true

  20. Parm
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 24 days ago

    Firmino penalty very similar to the one Shaw was given against Southampton last week. #Consistency.

    1. Somalion
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Funny how my Pool supporting brother has changed his opinion on that being a pen 😉

  21. Siggy in the Middle
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 24 days ago

    Only following this on BBC and Livescore. How's Lamela been?

    1. Dimen
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 24 days ago

      terrible

    2. Worzel Gummidge
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Utter garbage. But he created 5 chances so keep

      1. Siggy in the Middle
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 24 days ago

        Alright, that's a pretty encouraging stat. Thanks.

        1. Keep Calm and Play On
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 24 days ago

          I hope you noted his sarcasm...

    3. Clump
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Poor

    4. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Garbage

  22. Samwise the Brave
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    What's the dembele curse stat?

  23. chilldoubt
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 24 days ago

    Is there any chance we can go through a game without a moronic "LOL @" comment?

    1. Bubz
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 24 days ago

      0% chance

    2. tets mcgee (Ha La Land)
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 24 days ago

      lol @ chilldoubt

    3. Ziro
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Great grav. Expect TM to send a threatening letter.

  24. Somalion
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 24 days ago

    A lot of the football in this match has been all over the gaff.

  25. The Royal Robin
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 24 days ago

    Firmino > Barkley better pay off 😐

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 24 days ago

      It won't

    2. Strawberry Jelavic
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 24 days ago

      It will!

    3. andymck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 24 days ago

      It's one assist, no need to worry.

    4. The Mighty Hippo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 24 days ago

      I've got both 🙂

  26. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 24 days ago

    Lol at that lamela corner

  27. TheTinman
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 24 days ago

    Well done Firmino. Sign it off with a goal. And for some reason cout takes his shirt off in the celebrations

    1. Keep Calm and Play On
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Lol

  28. Strawberry Jelavic
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 24 days ago

    Whoops apologies forgot about bad language! Shoulda brought Mane in on my WC.... looking super dangerous but just couldn't fit him in!

  29. JAC THE CAT
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 24 days ago

    I can't wait to sell Kane!

    1. GREENDREAMS11
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Surely you're not going to be selling him with those fixtures coming up?

      1. Bushido
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 24 days ago

        With that mentality, you'll have him forever

        1. GREENDREAMS11
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 24 days ago

          With the mentality that the guy who has finished in the top 2 goalscorers for the last 2 seasons has 5 really good fixtures in the next 6. My point is that if you had him to this point then surely you stick.

  30. Captain Blanks
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 24 days ago

    Firmino assist? LOL
