Fair enough. I'd still argue he has some way to go (especially defensively) but his assist record can't be argued with. Both him and Robertson are going to be incredibly hard to shut down tonight.

Feck off Dembele, you shit cnut.
Yep, I swear people didn't understand the significance of that stupid lazy sh!T effort in that game, as it was 3-0, no one thought they'd come back and everyone was laughing.
But I instantly feared the worst.

Whatever happens in this final Liverpool wanted the PL much much much more than this.

shouldn't be that difficult - it's on youtube's BT channel apparently
I was listening to it on radio 5live until I heard that dick Robbie Savage was on so changed to Talksport.
Good to hear Stuart Pearce was summarising.
Quite how the BBC think that anyone wants to listen to the idiot Savage is a mystery.
If they want people to listen to it they should use proper commentators like Alan Green.

Me too. The cnut had two opportunities to make it 4-0 and fluffed both.

The form he's been in the past 3 months has definitely been world class. Needs to do it more consistently, but with him being only young I think it's not unreasonable to think that he's simply finding another level.

Christ almighty, just imagine how smug Klopp is going to be after the damn match - relying on Spurs to deliver a miracle :(

Hopefully he doesn't turn it on tonight :p.

Seriously though, the wide areas are easily where I'm most concerned tonight. I really don't trust Trippier/Rose and they're going to need a hell of a lot of support to stop Robertson & TAA running riot down the flanks.

Klopp better sub of the two Dutchers at half time. We need them fit to beat that former EU country in the nation's league.

Under-rating Spurs much? We may well lose, but it will hardly take a miracle for us to win.

If we win tonight, this will be the last thing in the world that will bring you some comfort. Trust me on this one.

I would have started with Llorente up front and went direct against these. I hope Kane is as sharp as his starting place suggests.
VDV would've won the headers against Llorente in his sleep.

Pace and mobility will beat Liverpool if Spurs really click in the final third. Guess we'll see if Kane is up to the level required soon enough.

I think slow big guys are up VVD's ball park. Id have started Moura against him. Sane obliterated Van Dijk when we played Germany. He's vulnerable against speedy dribblers.

I am weirdly enough most worried about sissoko doing something jammy and undeserved like the one dembele blammed in last year, after a career of not all that with the final ball.

If Firmino turns it on we'll win the game at a canter. Else I worry we might have to grind it out and work hard enough to ensure that you won't seize the opportunities that are bound to fall your way.

Either way, it's a party tonight. Cheers to enjoying the experience no matter what happens (Karius isn't playing after all).

No he fecking wouldnt have dont be silly. Llorente poses them a problem they dont get often also Kane starting is a gamble. Also Moura is isn tremendous form.

I think you mean Wanyama?

That was hilarious, comes off the bench having not scored in forever and slams in our goal of the season :lol:.

Genuinely the only person on here or in media who wants Llorente starting anyway. :lol: He's a last 20 minute shake it up option.

If Messi, Ronaldo, Hazard, etc were injured for a while but were fit to play the final of the CL, they would all start.

Kane holds the same amount of importance for Spurs that the players above do.

It is a shame for Lucas, but that's football.

Hopefully he'll come on and make an impact.

Salah will throw himself to the floor in the box at least 3 times.

Hope Salah passes to Mane today instead of being greedy. This is one element that worries me tonight, wasted chances because of greed.
