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 was Kun (C) ever since GW2 ended, and at 11:29 I went with Zlatan. It's so tough this year, nothing between them. Just a prayer!

      Should have done it at 11:28. That's where your problem lies.

    I don't understand why Firmino didn't just put his foot through the ball and take that shot himself.

      To be fair, it was a guaranteed goal by passing it to Coutinho. Or at least it should have been.
