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.

    I always hate being here on the weekend, 30% of comments are people "lol @" and abusing each other. Midweek is much more constructive

        For me, the decision to transfer Firmino out is based on a 3GW window

        Brought in Tadic and was always going to be about who scores more over the next 3 games

        Firmino: tot, LEI, che
        Tadic: SUN, ars, SWA

        Not to mention an extra 1.1m to invest into the rest of the team.

            Thank god there are people who actually understand football on this site! This is exactly the point any sane person will go by...the firmino owners are really thinking keeping a player who has one assist playing as a CF in 3 games is a good decision...I don't get it
