Not sure about this. I don't usually subscribe to "must wins", especially so early in the season. Certainly more important to not lose I think.
I think we are better than Liverpool and our rusty old centre back is better than their rusty old centre back and that in the end will be enough
Yes but they will be weaker and more easily bullied out of their rhythm. But you may well be right.I think Liverpool will play better football with Allen and a cm3 (which is what I think they'll play tomorrow) than they have been with Gerard lately.
Oh come on, Hull beat them 3-1 with our old midfield dominating them.What do u have to say about SUAREZ ? Sorry forgot to mention COUTINHO as well...they will be well up for this game...

I would always want to play against a team without Gerrard than with him. He is a top class player as is sturridge.
I reckon we will win.
OPPOSITION SCOUTING REPORT:
Liverpool have beaten Villa and Sunderland away & won no other matches away from Anfield.
They drew at Newcastle, Swansea and Everton
They lost at Arsenal and Hull.
All their good form is at home; last 5 home wins have been 4-1, 5-1, 4-0, 4-1 and 3-1 all against rubbish teams.
Suarez, who people seem to fear, has scored goals this year against Sunderland, Palace, West Brom, Fulham, Everton, Norwich and West Ham.
He has failed to score against Arsenal, Man Utd, Newcastle and Hull.
He is a souped up flat track bully Jermain Defoe.
Gerrard and Sturridge have scored and assisted 12 and 8 goals between them. Tomorrow they are absent.
Joe Allen, widely lauded as Gerrard's replacement, has scored and assisted ZERO league goals ever for Liverpool.
They are quite shit.
PREDICTION
Tottenham 6-0 Liverplol

Even taking the light heartedness out of it, Liverpool are not that good. They are really vulnerable through the centre & have ridden on the back of their strikers. Their only solid player in their back 4 is Johnson and he is only solid going forward.
There will be space aplenty on the flanks, and they will struggle to get out of their half. Sure Coutinho and Suarez can break fast and effectively, but there is no way we don't dominate this match, we have far too much quality throughout the team, and granted a smidgen of the luck that owes us one from Newcastle, it should be the classic squeeze from us punctuated by a couple of goals.
Arsenal got shown up for what they are yesterday, ie. Not title contenders, Liverpool get shown up for what they are in the coming weeks ie. Not top 4 contenders.
