“They already have Vertonghen and Alderweireld, two of the best centre‑halves around at the moment, yet they still took the boy from Ajax [Davinson Sánchez],” he points out. “The other thing is that they don’t just have quality, they don’t have to make many changes because their players are all at the best age. They know they have a generation that can win titles for Tottenham, so they don’t have to keep buying, they can be more relaxed. They have been title contenders for the last two years, so why should they not be this year?”
Klopp stating the obvious!

Dunno mate. It's great that we have our guys working on the pitch and not Wembley's staff (or may be we work with them). My gut thinks that there may be certain compromises we have to work within because of other events. Maybe they prepare the pitch in a different way because England play on it in a days time, or there is a ruby league or American football game being played on it. All this other activity results in a thicker, longer cut, higher percentage artificial elements so it preserves it's longevity rather than it's performance of a football friendly surface??? Guess ww will have to wait for a sequel of Poch's book before we find out. Unless Neil Ashton has an exclusive what with his "connections".

Love this. It should be included in the Oxford dictionary.
“So, what do you think of the moon landings?”
“All seems a a bit Wanyama’s knee to me mate”
I dread this fixture. We have a better squad, better manager and are a better team all round than Liverpool.. yet we never beat them! We seem to fall apart.
We need to be on top of our game today. Defence, midfield and attack need to be on top of their game. Almost the way we’ve played against Madrid and Dortmund.

Woken up this morning feeling a similar excited nervousness as on Tuesday.
I’m desperate for us to beat this lot today. Capitalising on our great midweek result would really show that we’ve hit our stride & another Wembley win should put all this hoodoo talk to bed.
If both teams turn up & play at their highest level, it will be an epic game & we will win. Our A game is better than theirs.
COYS.

We're going to smash Liverpool today
Wouldn’t it be wonderful . Not just the result but seeing how the media deal with it . Would it then all be about Mane ?
Would they wear armbands?
A. That's actually a classy way to speak about a rival, take notice Pep
B. Klopp is definitely keeping tabs on us which is complimenting but worrying as he will line up today to match us in a more efficient way.

Didn't Llorente boss Liverpool at Anfield for Swansea, or am I making that up? Something to think about if I do remember that right.
I personally can't see Llorente starting this one, I reckon:
Lloris
Toby Sanches Jan
Aurier Davies
Dier Winks
Eriksen Alli
Kane
Then again Sissoko may start this one instead of Winks. Who knows, Poch seems to like the odd surprise. I'm gonna go 2-1 Spurs.

Alli's face right there.
Trips face is peak "That boy ain't right"
Can confirm. We have at least Portuguese supporters. Me andKompreszor . We ain’t no middle size club fuckers.
Since 2005 baby.
(no, I'm not 12)
Im from 2010. Glory hunter me.
"Pray for the Lollerpool 11"
If we gave them a hiding it will be one of the last nails in Klopps coffin mark my words. Ridiculously the vultures are already circling.
Maradona is apparently in town to watch the game.
I have a few words to describe mental people like you..
"Your not a macaroni and cheese if you are spaghetti noodles.”
So there take that and suck it up..
:dierpochhug:
I’d really start Rose this game. Davies has been immense, but Salah has massive pace that Rose can counter.
Dier needs to be on form as well. Coutinho is playing well at the moment, and they have a big threat going forward. Our front 3 really need to pressure their back line. I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if we saw the same style vs Madrid and Llorente start with Kane.
