Jesus that's frightening form - 2.3ppg

I know we're feeling great about ourselves today, and it's great that we're arguably in a title race, but I was really hoping that Spurs would have fallen away a bit by now.

Last night was a big convincing win for them, probably their first of the season, and even if Newcastle have declined that is a massive away win.

3 points is very little so we are most certainly still in a battle for 4th first and foremost.

We have the advantage of having them at home, so a win there would be huge. Looking at the fixtures before that, we perhaps have an edge, so it would be nice if we could be in a position to put their challenge to bed at Anfield.

But if Spurs keep up 2.3ppg (and that's a massive IF as they have some tough fixtures ahead and the EL to kick off again) they would almost certainly qualify for the CL (they would have 77/78 points).

So I would be wary of them.

There's an awful long way to go in the battle for 4th, before we start talking about the title.

Chelsea'll probably wait until he does the Spurs medical and then sign him.

Spurs or Chelski will be on to that.

I had missed that during the game, and was wondering why the ref had a mucky back.

Tactically naive? AVB was one of the worst tacticians to have ever managed in the Premier League. He was playing the exact same awful tactics that got him the sack from Chelsea - the high line with dog sh!t slow defenders and a heavy dose of hoof ball. It was clear at the end of AVB's reign that the entire team was utterly demoralized and AVB's "system" was an utter failure.

If AVB was still at Tottenham I'd be more concerned about their proximity, but I think Sheringham will see to it that they lose more points than us in the run in.

What a load of tripe.

Spurs are where they are now because of Tim Sherwood, not because of AVB (who was running Spurs into the ground). If AVB was in charge, Adebayor (8 goals and 3 assists in 11 games) would still be training with the kids and Spurs would still be playing mindless hoofball.

Would like to see them drop a few points though. They do have Chelsea, Arsenal and Southampton before they play us at Anfield at the end of March. That run will tell a lot about them.

Sherwood has done a great job there so far. He's gotten them to a more settled formation where each player knows their role. And has not been afraid to play the players he wants, rather than try to fit in this seasons signings.

He has stabilised things there and not been afraid to do what he wants.

Statz - Liverpool have now scored 43 first-half goals this season, 2 more than Man Utd have in total.

The best thing about the past few weeks, is that we seem to have more than one plan. Counterattacking against Everton, pressing and scaring the crap out of Arsenal and possession type stuff against Fulham.

Anyone who saw him in the NextGen for Sporting a couple of years ago could see he had something, his progress at Liverpool got stunted by his back (growing in to his body issues) but when he started getting U21 games the potential was obvious even if his level of application was not always as clear.

It looks like he has been "chosen" as judged by Rodgers own comments and I'd not be at all surprised if last night cameo was not a prelude to an outing against Arsenal (albeit off the bench).

This I would approve of - the North London Meltown would be only spectacular to witness.

In striker out of form news - Luis Suarez has scored one of Liverpools last 24 goals I think.[/QUOTE]
What?

He hasnt scored in 2 games?

Sell him now:D

Re: Spurs....I think when the Europa Cup starts back up, it will have a big impact on their results.

Yes, and Newcastle were actually playing like a team at the time let's not forget. A team a few months ago that some here were concerned about in regards to our top 4 aspirations much like Southampton.

We've all seen managers come in and have their honeymoon period be it over a few games to a dozen. I'm not overly concerned when factoring in their fixture list.

They're playing some decent football, but Ade is key for them. Playing like a man possessed... or a man wanting a new contract, who'd have guessed that.

My major concern is defense. If we can get Agger & Kelly back in, hopefully we can get Cissokho and Toure as far away from the team as possible, we have a great chance then, not only of fourth, but being in a position to take advantage of those above us slipping up.

Clueless from start to finish.

gimli2112

Not wanting to labour the Sherwood v AVB point but surely the main difference is Sherwood is playing (I'm never going to spell this right) Adeboyor.

Not bothered about the cup game this weekend. While I'd like us to progress the thought of Arsenal having extra games and us less is equally comforting.

Nice few fixtures ahead I'm not too worried about the away trip to southampton as they will definitely come out and attack us and we will terrorize them on the break
