Dugout Discussion – Spurs vs Liverpool

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.

      Firmino is the exact opposite of a season keeper. He is brilliant as false 9 but a pretty terrible option elsewhere. Sturridge will start up front more often than not. Firmino will in tough away games.

      If he ends the game on an assist then 1 assist to show for ove 3 games is hardly season keeper material. Needs to prove himself more in the Liverool midfield lottery.

                Ozil or Payet are also an option for me if I downgrade Morgan as well. Barkley also an option if I want to get Benteke instead of Gray with the money from that transfer in my bank.
