TS mentioned net spend. Everyone has to drink.

Lamela (who cost less than Andy Carroll) is being ease in gently - he has the most adapting to do out of all our new boys.

Good for Gareth, no need for Madrid to panic despite Suarez screaming "look at me, look at me!".

Suarez is so desperate to get out that he's even working closely with a tap dancing Negrito to get ahead.

Saturday will be the 1st time this season Liverpool have played a big team, so calm down Lulu.

That's a bit offensive to David Moyes' merry men TS, who we beat

Just out of interest, why does Lamela have the 'most adapting' to do ? Is this just a nice little excuse ?

Moyes FC? I still retain my stance  


He knows nobody within the team/club, comes from a different culture and speaks no English at all. Sandro was the same when he first got here, took 6 months until we saw what he was capable of.

I keep seeing Liverpool fans bringing up Coutinho, but I would assume he has Lucas to lean on for advice etc.

Don't judge Lamela  on his performances for Tottenham this season

Judge him on the YouTube videos the Tottenham fans posted around the time he signed.

If Liverpool had spent £30m on a player who didn't hit the ground running would anyone mention it? No. He would be given time to settle, and I expect people to do the same for Lamela.

Lamela 

NET SPEND

Criticism of Lamela is perfectly legitimate: football fans are knee jerk, short sighted and sensationalist, so anything else would be unacceptable.

30million for a 21year old is a lot of money, adding burden of pressure and expectation. Equally, 4 games into a career with the club is not. Depends on which way you're looking at it really.  Obviously makes sense ALL LIVERPOOL FANS should want the season to end tomorrow given they're the best team on the planet** Right now. And right now is all that counts


**excluding clubs that qualified for Europe. Or play in South America, Asia, North America, Australasia, Antarctica.

It's hard to judge Lamela based on his little game time for Spurs, Glenn is being horribly unfair as he always is, he should be looking at how badly Roma are missing him instead.

WHEN WILL THIS CONSTANT LAMELA ABUSE END?  

It's relentless.

Gervinho has become the new Pele. You're right though, we should boo the Argie c**t for having the nerve to provide 2 assists in his first few games and then MISS a penalty which disappointed Jon Champion.

Poor Jon Champion

You should sign Remy next summer tbh, though Spurs fans probably feel they're above cheap domestic transfers these days.

Issue with Remy was his injury proneness. Clearly a frickin good player. Oustanding signing, as Brendan would say.

You would love him, he's basically Henry-lite.

Borini equalises on 89th minutes for Sunderland 1 - 1 vs Chelsea.

Extra time! Get IN    

the Chelsea/Arsenal game is't for a week, I'm not sure it's going to make that much difference that their 2nd string plays an extra half hour.

Sunderland 2-1 Chelsea - Ki sung-Yueng

Ki   

Haha Sunderland never looked like scoring the equaliser and the game looked dead and buried

Very good from Cattermole in the lead up to the goal, he's a far better footballer than most people think.

I don't care, I want every scrap of advantage we can get   

Well done Sunderland

Always said this. I just also always said it's a shame he's a fucking idiot.

It's up for grabs now.

Should be interesting to see what team The Chosen One picks tonight. He has to win the United fans over somehow - Dalglish knew by winning the league cup it would gloss over the humiliation of signing Carroll and Downing for 100 million. I expect United to be full strength so Giggs and Cleverly in midfield, Rooney and Kagawa up top and Fellaini in the reserves.

Tim Sherwood opts for a 442 with two strikers and two wingers in his first selection.

Lloris; Walker (c), Chiriches, Capoue, Rose; Lennon, Dembele, Sigurdsson, Townsend; Adebayor, Defoe.
subs - Friedel, Fredericks, Fryers, Holtby, Eriksen, Chadli, Soldado.

Stoke: Sorensen, Cameron, Shawcross, Wilson, Pieters, Walters, Whelan, Palacios, Ireland, Assaidi, Crouch.

Man Utd: De Gea, Rafael, Smalling, Evans, Evra, Valencia, Cleverley, Jones, Anderson, Young, Welbeck.

Good luck Tim Sherwood

A lovely guy and I hope this AVB debacle doesn't set him back too far.

Tottenham XI: Lloris; Walker, Chiriches, Capoue, Rose; Lennon, Dembele, Sigurdsson, Townsend; Adebayor, Defoe

West Ham XI: Adrian, O'Brien, Rat, Collins, McCartney, Diarra, Taylor, Collison, J.Cole, Jarvis, C.Cole

Rooney injured now too, what is that numpty Moyes doing to them in training?

There's not one United player I'd fear in this line up. Staggering how they won the title over City, absolutely fucking staggering.

Stoke/Man Utd suspended because of hail?

Adebayor makes a horrible mess all over Villas-Boas' face.

Sherwood IN
