VS
In this week's match of the week,We will see High Flyers Tottenham Hotspur against an up and down form Liverpool side which back in the days used to be one of England's top teams(Sadly not now).And as expected,With Tottenham high flying with the recent last 16 qualification in the Champions league and breaking a 17 year drought By beating Arsenal Away.Confidence couldn't be much higher for the Man in white to defeat the man in red.Liverpool on the other hand have to find some inspirations as well and things couldn't have come worst with influential Skipper Stevie G out for 4 weeks.But to be honest,I think Liverpool could get a point or even all three points,we have seen them out play the big boys with confidence which they don't seem to emulate into other games.Well we can say the team looks half dead with with a host of out form players but Well sorry but i just can't seem to give it away to Tottenham just like that.We got to remember that They just came back from a tiring Champions league game and the Heartbeat of the Engine room looks doubtful(Van Der Vaart) who has been the mastermind of their goals.So i think Liverpool got a chance there if they play to their full potential and never say die attitude is present.
If looking at Stats between the head to head record at White Hart lane,Kop fans wouldn't be to confident there as In the last 18 matches played at the stadium.Tottenham have come up tops with 8 wins while Liverpool have nicked out 5 wins with 5 draws between them.The latest scoreline was last season 2-1 win to Tottenham.And there's more misery for Liverpool fans as Roy Hodgson has amazingly only managed to record 13 away wins since his managerial Career.I think i should move away from the stats...For now....
Back to the teams now,Like i said earlier Liverpool certainly have a chance because Right now I still think Tottenham are Inconsistent and after capping an amazing week,I think it will just get to them with the demands and pressure on them to lift up to the standard they have produce and You can never underestimate Liverpool because if you approach them Wrongly,they got the the quality of backfiring you.
Liverpool i heard will bring That Joe Cole which is great news as he can bring in the Quality at the flanks,they i Think should put two strikers up front to add pressure to Tottenham's Defence which Honestly I Think is still frail.They Got Meireles and Poulsen who are great Defensive players and can give a helping hand to stop The Midfield.The main problem though is not all that But the Speed of Bale which has caused a great amount of problems to teams this season already and one great solution can be done is to 'at least' have two players stopping him from even getting the ball.His tiny guy with not much psychical strength and I think he will be a flop if Liverpool are able to out muscle him while Hopefully Torres get's his form back and bang in the goals.
Tottenham on the other hand i admit have just been amazing but again i also like to repeat is that their post Champions league games haven't been to good and this added Demands wouldn't be a likely welcome.But looking at the quality they have and if used to full potential.I see Liverpool having a hard time containing them.So It's quite a hard prediction for me to make though with Both teams definitely having the Quality to get all three points but I think this is going to liverpool so it's a 2:0 win for Liverpool
