My XI for the game ;

Try something different; Mr Sherwood wont try it anyway;

I want to go with 3-4-3

Lloris,
Kaboul, Chiriches, Vertonghen,
Lennon, Dembele, Paulinho, Townsend
Ade, Soldado, Eriksen


Soldado's injured and Ade is a doubt. I fully expect us to start with Harry Kane alone up front.



Jesus.

So who's out for this one?

I think it's Vertonghen, Dawson, Walker, Lamela, Capoue and Soldado.

If so I'd go...

Lloris

Naughton Chiriches Kaboul Rose

Sandro Paulinho Dembele

Chadli -------------------Eriksen

Adebayor​

Technical mismatch against a side we finished above last season and beat, and should've beaten twice.

Did Liverpool even make any important signings in the summer?

Not even just that mate, we've been finishing above them for four or five seasons before this one.

Not much interest in this game today is there?

Just read the interview on the bbc and this quote does it for me:

"I would've had no effect on that game [against Liverpool]. Against teams we've got left to play, the players know the script now."

I can't imagine any manager with something about him coming out and saying they wouldn't have made any effect on a game. Just shows to me that the guy is really out of his depth. It's a shame as I honestly had high hopes for him especially after some of the good work done at academy level.

I'd play Townsend at LB. He isn't going to be any worse defensively than Rose and is better in attack. Also he will work harder too.

A Spurs game is a Spurs game to me and I will be cheering them on from my armchair. Even though I don't particularly like Sherwood, some of the abuse you lot give him is embarrassing and being so apathetic to the team??? Well it doesn't seem right to me. COYS

Townsend has been terrible at tracking back and defending, so I see no proof that he has the discipline to play a LB role.

If Rose is fit he probably has to play, he knows Sunderland so it makes sense. That being said, we really need a new LB in the summer.

Daws is fit.

i think we will win 2 nil tonight. I am hoping that we play with a more regular team with paulinho back in and one of either dembele or sandro . On the wing i really hope we go with chadli and townsend and stick eriksen in the middle . Adebayor back up top.

More of a press bash than a Sherwood bashing, but i'm already fed up of being the club where every week there is a 'new' story, and I mean an entire article, regarding where Tim Sherwood will be sitting during the game.

Not much even Jose Mourinho could do if one of his players passed it into his own net after less than 2 minutes and another passed it straight into the path of the deadliest striker in the league.
2-0 down...game over!

So Sherwood is saying we don't need a Manager / Head Coach ?
