Even if we fail to get top 4, it's still a successful season...
If Everton pips Woolwich to 4th place
Park the bus and pray for counter attacks, fuck it i'll take a point happily but that wont happen
Park like Allardyce, counter like Mourinho, shoot like Gareth Bale. We can do this.
It would probably end up more along the lines ofPark like Allardyce, counter like Mourinho, shoot like Gareth Bale. We can do this.
finish like Allardyce, flap our hands like Mourinho, defend like Gareth
Maybe?
No high line. Allow them to come on to us with our midfield putting in a proper shift and the back 4 nice and compact, and relatively deep. Don't allow those diagonal balls over the top that have been killing us all season. Be aware that they will look to target our left back position like everyone else has been. When we have possession, look to switch play to our right quickly at every opportunity, it might pull them out of shape a bit, and then try to hit them on the counter.
All the pressure is on them, and they will be feeling it, so we must be well organised and not panic if they have a lot of the ball early on which is likely. Nevertheless, we are quite capable of winning this, Cardiff scored three against them last week which is not to say that we will, but we have to let them know they are in the sort of game that they don't want to play. Tight, disciplined and professional. Not at all Spursy then.

Liverpool have great forward players who can score at any time, but are shit at the back. I feel we must set-up this game to play on the counter, banks of 4 and hit hard on the break, if we play a high line it will not end well.

Maybe it is actually him, and made the account after he came back pissed from a heavy session down the local.
Mark Lawrenson's Prediction for Liverpool v Tottenham Hotspur (Sunday, 16:00 BST)
Liverpool's games get tougher now. I think they're starting to believe they can win the league - and that belief grows game by game.
Sunderland made it difficult against them on Wednesday.
It felt like Liverpool started to tighten up after scoring twice.
Sunderland made changes and started to have a go and it looked closer than it should have been.
Manager Brendan Rodgers rightly points out that if Manchester City or Chelsea win all their games, they can't win it.
They'd love to, but they're reliant on other results and I don't think Liverpool will go unbeaten for the rest of the season.
I don't think Tottenham will go to Anfield and try to defend.
In fact, I don't think they can defend.
And I don't see them starting next season with Tim Sherwood in charge.
He's done a good job but when he got the 18-month contract, everyone thought he'd probably be manager until the end of the year and they'd bring someone else in.
I think he'll get a job somewhere else.
I like the fact he's tried to organise Tottenham and change the way they play.
Their problems started last July or August when they signed too many players.
The dynamic of the dressing room is very difficult.
I still believe they don't know what their best team is.
