Great thread - 11 pages of sarcastic defeatism. It could be worse, you could be Arsenal fans.

I expect a loss but hope to see is an intensity where we win more than our fair share of 50-50 balls. While it is over simplistic to focus on a single issue, our boys haven't had the fight in them that they had in years past. Perhaps it was the years of the Poch training and it will take a full offseason to recover, but it would be good to see their intensity return.

Absolutely dreading it. If we concede early it could be a genuine humiliation.

Never felt less confident about our chances which counterintuitively gives me some hope.

Well there's good and bad news on this one. The good news is that no matter this evening's ritual slaughter scoreline, it is still statistically possible for us to win the premiership this season.
The bad news is that we might not.

Guessing the ploy will be both Son and Moura up front allowing us to pack the midfield/defence in some configuration, and to embrace the break as our only likely means of scoring without control.

That sounds dangerously like a plan (which we're not used to).

I’ll be shooting off now to the match, and to die a thousand deaths no doubt. As long as we go at them and don’t lay down I’ll be happy enough. If there’s any kind of positive result I’ll be ecstatic.

Just start fast spurs, that’s all I ask for. A big ask I know!

So how many cheap refereeing decisions do we reckon the bin dips will get today then?

They are usually guaranteed a free penalty at the very least!

I never miss a spurs game on the telly but really not sure if I want to sit through this game later. I really fucking hate Liverpool like no other club in the world so I really don’t want to watch them hand us our arse on a plate.

if we come out with the right attitude, match them for desire and intensity and get right at them from the off, then we could definitely shut a few pundits up. But these are the things have been totally lacking from our recent performances which is why I’m not overly optimistic today.

My aspirations for this game are that we play some energetic, skilful football and score a goal or two. If that suffices to get us a draw, great, it's a result.

What I don't want is for us to look clueless and sluggish, for us to get smothered and pressed to death, with the ball being repeatedly coughed up in midfield after less than 10 seconds of possession. We have pace and they play a high line. We should be able to nick a goal at some point, preferably not when we're already 2+ down, if we can retain possession and move the ball forward swiftly, either on the ground or in the air.

I also have the vain hope that people here will not reflexively blame every Liverpool goal on a Spurs defensive error. We are playing what is arguably the best team in the world right now. They score goals because they are good, not because opponents fuck up.

I hope you are right davidmatzdorf, but we can't discount the possibility that every goal Liverpool score could well be down to stupid and avoidable defensive errors on our part. It's not like it hasn't happened before in games very recently where all goals in some games we've played in have been down to basic errors on our part as opposed to well worked goals from the opposition.
