Spurs vs. Liverpool

The Premiership is back after the farce of internationals stuck in just as we all get back into Spurs and their steady improvement.

Back at the Lane this Saturday Spurs take on the Champions of Europe, Liverpool. This statement is farcical really as though they did well in the final the question has to be asked why were they in the “Champions” League in the first place when they finished fourth? Nevertheless they will provide a tough test as they are a good unit with Gerrard pulling all the strings. With any luck he will play as well as he did for England on Wednesday.

What the Spurs line up is anyone’s guess yet again as we continue to buy anyone and everyone who is English, especially if they can play in midfield. What is obvious is that Paul Robinson will start in goal. Ledley King is likely to return as Captain alongside Dawson. Stalteri will be on the right and Lee will make his debut on the left. Mido is suspended for at least three games so Defoe will start up front with one other. It could be Keane as Rasiak has only just arrived and won’t know his teammates. Keane is also a much better player but we then have the dilemma of pumping balls forward to short strikers.

The midfield will be a complete mystery except that Carrick will be in there somewhere. Davids will probably be next to him with Reid on the left and either Lennon or Tainio on the right leaving £8 million signing Jermaine Jenas on the bench. Based on recent performances by the Spurs midfield I am really struggling to see where JJ will currently fit it but Jol’s the boss not me so we shall wait and see.

COYS!
