Liverpool v Spurs team news: Konate and Diaz start, Matip and Jota benched

Another game to go for Matip

Plays like he’s 40 in the premier league

He looks like the perfect candidate to play the violent, abusive prison guard should there ever be a remake of Midnight Express. The soles of my feet are in agony at the mere thought

quiet*

I have Robertson, Matip, Salah, Kulusevski and Son. If Spurs could score a few and Robertson get something it would be good. Salah blank would be better again

Goals from both teams with Salah heavily involved

Liverpool CS but Robbo yellow card / rested early for Tsimi.

Salah haul.

Jota off the bench with a return.

I took a hit to sell Mane for Salah(c) so I'm hoping to the obvious there.

I also bought Kulusevski, so it would be nice for him to take over the goal-scoring duties, ideally after Robbo is rested with a CS banked.

A Matip cameo for the extra app point would be agreeable too

Liverpool defence EO without Matip is like 136%
So I’ll take a 3-2 Liverpool, Salah x3, TAA assist x3, Kane x2 with no Son involvement

VVD header goal from TAA cross. Salah hattrick and Son goal or assist.

Lol. Same here.

He was a good decision

Without listening to ten podcasts this week I would have went Diaz based on form but chose Jota because there was quite good rationale of him starting both.

Let's see where we are by the end of gw.

Jimmy I brought him in as well! I’m blaming mark sutherns lol!!! He’ll come on and he’ll play v villa. I’ve no regrets(yet) bringing him in. Keep the faith he’ll haul!!

Oh yeah the Mark narrative was strong. I was 50/50 in the end after starting with Mané even.
Not stressed. They’ll all get their minutes. I hope.

No Son, no TAA and no Salah for me. I'm anticipating the mud here.

Can’t hear commentary in the pub thankfully

He's never a Saturday night big game co-commentator. His style is more suited to a Saturday 12:30 KO involving big team vs mid table team easing you into the days fixtures

Triffic

I have quadruple City defence. Cancelo(c), Dias, Laporte. Don't know why tbh

We've been smashed, Hulk

It’s interesting as I am sure I read somewhere he hadn’t been benched once for the past 20 PL games or so when he was fit and available.

Spurs will almost certainly score anyway.

Cap on son also

Not if Son matches him

Yes and then they signed cr7

I'd take 2 nil Spurs with Kane assists from Kulusevski

But in the interests of football a Liverpool win is best

Standard

This

Never heard that one before.

You’ll be glad by the end of the game week you didn’t! Who did you cap?

Wish I’d got and captained Trossard.

Sounds like a Salah capper

I think it will open up in the second half! That pool press is scary though!

I reckon it opens up in the 2nd half

As long as he doesn't take freekicks

Lol

He is isn’t he?

Cb pool is relatively poor for England

I guess if you compare him to the likes of mings and Maguire he’s probably of a similar quality

I think he's more solid than Maguire and Stones.

Watch it live vs a stream.

I need Pool to score. A Trent cords for a Kounete header would be ideal

This comment for real

Brilliant observation! Have you ever considered sending a CV into sky sports

Thanks Captain Obvious
