Tottenham
Liverpool
- James Maddison and Pape Sarr are banned, though Spurs welcome Rodrigo Bentancur back following a suspension.
- Fraser Forster is unlikely to feature due to illness, while Radu Dragusin was forced off at half time on Saturday and it remains to be seen whether he'll recover here.
- A further six players remain sidelined due to injury but Richarlison and Mikey Moore have returned to training, which is a boost for the home side.
- Spurs signed goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky on Sunday, and having been granted a work permit on Monday, the Czech shotstopper may make his debut here.
- Arne Slot is without Joe Gomez and Dominik Szoboszlai due to injury and illness, respectively.
- Slot is expected to make changes to his XI, with the likes of Federico Chiesa, Darwin Nunez and Wataru Endo all set to start.
What is loserpool's excuse this time? The ball is round?
@Sputnik It's not like Liverpool needs a lot of excuses this season - so that "nickname" doesn't make any sense these days. And what's the use of this useless competition that most countries never had and others already abandoned? At first glance I thought they lost an important game but it's just a glorified friendly.
U can see liverpool not even try
@Mojje cuz you sure you put a bet on Liverpool to win,just like yesterday on Arseanal. I told you,you're a loser and yet you still call others stupids and idiots. In the end, your stupid circle will expand furthermore. Lol
@PunterBloke jävla horunge
Bergvall plays well again, but one more time vs Liverpool not shown 2nd yellow. Maybe because 1st yellow today was for nothing, still referee is not good today
Even the VAR seem working with the Bookies now. They wanted this game to finish as a boring draw.
@PunterBloke They don't care about the exact result! Having just a low scoring game does the job for the shareholders. UFEFA is in it, FIFA is in it, the club owners are all in it, VAR has been implemented for it. and the inhumane scheduling of the games by all this assholes serves that purpose as well. Players are in it as well, because unless the coach urges them to play, they will simply not play in most games. Opening the Arab Gulf countries for signing excellent players and thereby just weakening the European teams served again the purpose of making games unpredictable and low scoring.
You have to understand, that when after almost 60 minutes you only have 5 shots on target from supposedly formidable, in form attacking players, that's NOT a coincidence. That's the recipe for a low scoring game. You can only achieve that consciously: when the coaches tell the players not to shoot at the goal. And the Tottenham goalkeeper is a nobody rookie and yet the Liverpool players are still not shooting. There is no way they are so weak minded that just because it is a final, they play so cautiously against a much weaker team. You don't need to pay millions of pounds to a coach to follow that kind of stupid game plan. I could do much better for tenth of the money he gets. No, this is fixed - it must be fixed, bar none. Son is also totally out of form. Why being so cautious against an out of form Tottenham.
@Zoltan They aren’t cautious, they’re exhausted. Also, it isn’t a final. It’s a two leg semi final. Of course it makes sense to aim for a low scoring game away from home in a first leg. That’s called game management
@sarigginsUSA Insert those excuses in your a*s! Disrespectfully.
@Zoltan actually gk is not nobody, pretty good one.
@koziol.mutant You are right, he is a young Czech talent, but without much experience: against these lads you must test them often until you succeed: from then on is a landslide. But if you do what Liverpoold did, it's a recipe for the disaster.
@Zoltan Like D.Nunez has all the time in the world to hold down the ball in side the box ,then shoot. No,he just shoot like an amateur who never played top football.
@PunterBloke Exactly! To me is not normal at all what they are doing. This is exactly how I would play if I would have to play for a pre-agreed result!
All games are fixed! Look at this one as well! Who talked to Mo' Salah to hold back and not to score any goals at all, when he is the most in form player in the league??? And hold back against a team who is not that outstanding in defense at all this year??? Can someone explain this to me??? What about all the other in form players as well??? Totally abnormal.....
@Zoltan Nah man, Liverpool are just over-rated. They suck.
Less than two goals
OVER 5 1H
I think new goalkeeper Kinsky will have a nightmare.
@Marbella played really well, save in 93 top class
Tottenham win by 3-1 goals
SPURS Kinsky, Porro, Dragusin, Gray, Spence, Bissouma, Bentancur, Bergvall, Kulusevski, Solanke, Son.
@Marbella SUBS Austin, Dorrington, Reguilon, Olusesi, Moore, Yang Min-Hyeok, Johnson, Werner, Lankshear.
LIVERPOOL Alisson, Van Dijk, Mac Allister, Salah, Jones, Gakpo, Jota, Tsimikas, Gravenberch, Quansah, Bradley.
@Marbella SUBS Kelleher, Endo, Konate, Diaz, Nunez, Chiesa. Elliott, Robertson, Alexander-Arnold.
Salah TSA -120
Tottenham again have many players unavailable and have lost five of their last nine games. By contrast, Liverpool have almost everyone available and won 12 of their last 15 games. However, it's clear that the Tottenham players still believe in Ange and semi-finals can involve unexpected results. Tottenham 2-2 Liverpool
@MEHJones I will say something now that you probably don't expect. Congratulations on your win. However, there's a second leg. Let's see.
depends on the line-up but with no Salah, Diaz, or Gravenberch; Liverpool surely won't score 4...
@koziol.mutant only Diaz not starting from them. Getting interested, still 2-2 or even 1-1 looks likely. Spurs are getting better and Liverpool arent so invincible.
Defensive issues mounting at Tot/Spurs. Liverpool win. Son needs confidence.
I think all the betting business is rigged against the average people (while the owners of the clubs are also hiding behind the curtains on the board of directors of the various betting companies, and do everything they can to have low scoring games, which is the real goldmine of football club owners today, not winning games, titles and cups: that's why they tolerate shitty coaches at the helm and that's why they tolerate playing every 3rd day which is fckn' ridiculous, because it is impossible to train players under these extreme circumstances). Inconsistency and low scoring games are the real goldmine today for club owners who are shareholders in the betting companies! Talking about a fat Trojan horse pulled into your backyard. Where are the investigative journalists who could go after what I suspect the real deal is with football nowadays???
@Zoltan I agree in some part of your analysis and suggestion. Real investigative journalists are afraid to put this scam under the spotlight. FIFA should be an association that supervises rules and arrangements and not dictating them to different countries. FIFA is so corrupt, that I doubt it if they're not working with the club owners, like they did with Real Madrid and Barca.
@Zoltan it is, but not promoted enough, check blog "footballisfixed" about how it is done in UK (politicians, football players/coaches agents, owners, referees, all kinds of relations).
I think Liverpool will play a strong side against injury hit Spurs as Liverpool on saturday are at home to Accrington in the FA Cup.
Liverpool win & over 2.5
@Kingslayerr Eight of the last nine H2Hs between these sides saw both teams score and over 2.5 total match goals.
An unexpected score will be this(0-0). Can you believe this??
@gini74 my wrong
@gini74 go sleep
@Mojje Is this post who triggered your reaction? @Mojje You're born a loser,lol. Why not bet on Basketball BTTS,hahahahaha.
Liverpool Win
2-3 or 2-2 draw possible
Very poor odds in the various goal markets so i have gone for Liverpool Win instead.
1-3
another battering of 'this is who we are mate'.com
Liverpool most probably mixed team so makes it more equal, bts+over 2,5 + Spurs +1 handi
