      Captain Kun. 3. Don't waste a transfer on Wally if you're going to switch to Rich next week anyway.

      That midfield is a minefield. Personally I would still consider WC, despite missing all the price rises and drops.

    With regard to the new found optimism for Salah(C):
    Lads, I hate to inform you but Alli & Lloris out doesn't really make much difference in my book. Vorm is more than capable and Eriksen might play in a more advanced role which could make Spurs a more effective unit imo.

    Open Controls
    1. KingOllie
      8 years, 1 month ago

      But what you are missing is that Spurs play with a real high line. This is effective because Lloris is such a good sweeper keeper. Vorm isnt that type of GK - so do they change the way they play or do the expect Vorm to sweep like Lloris?

      Means balls in behind have more chance to be pounced on by salah and co

        I hear you but I dunno, Vorm trains with the first team and knows the role. He has always looked a capable deputy any game that I've seen him anyway but you could have a point of course!

          Lloris is always shouting at his defenders and organizing. Will have to see if it causes any issues tomorrow. So excited for the game.

          Spurs missing Alli i dont see as an issue at all though haha

            Yeah you def have a point, he is the captain and it could have an effect I guess. I guess what I was trying to say was captaining a LIV player v a good solid team seems a bit off when you have Aguero, Hazard, etc. v weak opposition! GL for the GW mate!!
