i wonder if they will go down the route like they did when they came last year of playing a low block both at spurs and against us.

I would expect so and I wouldn't blame them for taking that approach in all honesty. A point away from home is a good result, and if that style helps achieve that or even gives you the chance to counter and win the game then it's worthwhile against a team you've struggled against in recent history. We've rarely been to Anfield and blown them off the park, even when comparatively a million miles ahead of the dippers as a team. We have patches in games, but Pep's most certainly looked to be more pragmatic there in recent seasons to get a result.

Cant believe how much money we got from Arsenal for him.

I'm more amazed how the media exaggerate his ability immediately after he joined a red side. At one point I even heard claims he is "the best left back in the country". Never seen that appraisal for him when he played for us.

Probably say 'CDM? Isn't that Cadbury's Dairy Milk?'.. (..one for the FOCs on here!)

Still the best choc bar.

Arteta will park the bus and use Saka and Sterling on the break with Trossard and Havertz! They will beat spurs in a high scoring game 2-4

Looks like Odegaard is out for 4 weeks. Will miss Spurs away, Atalanta away and City away.

I'd rather we get him back to full fitness rather than rush him. That's what the squad is for and hopefully Nwaneri gets some minutes against Spurs.

He's a big loss for you. A very good footballer, though not in Kev or Bernie's class. In my unbiased opinion.

All you had to say was they'll beat spurs.

Bit of a Fruit & Nut case IMHO

the only problem with that plan is that spurs have serious pace at the back so it might not be that easy van de ven, porro and udogie are all easily capable of keeping up with saka and sterling.

Why are people thinking they will park the bus at Spurs? They have gone there and blew them away the last two years. Whilst it finished 3-2 last year they didn't get 3-0 up from sitting back? It will be an interesting game which hopefully sees them drop more points.
