Kuyt and downing on the wings, although tottenham possess good wingers we are at home and need to take the game to them For most games at Anfield I agree we need to let the opposition worry about us but Spurs are not one of those, we need to have a plan, maybe try and keep it tight and when we doi attack make sure we dont leave the back door open at the same time.

In our position I hope we don't adopt an overly cautious approach. Against the teams higher up we've been sitting back and allowing the opposition to push us further back, thats small team mentality. Conversely it goes without saying when the opposition has quick players you would never adopt a gun-ho approach. I believe we should play to win and press the opposition

I believe we should play to win and press the opposition Am afraid we are small team mentality when we play against the bigger Clubs, it's no use firing shots at teams who have bigger more powerful weapons than you and we simply dont have players who score goals, the best part of our team is the defence thats what we need to concentrate on and hope one of our attacking players can manage to nick a goal from somewhere.

You obviously havent been watching tottenham this season, sitting back and letting them pass is a sure way to lose.

totaly disagree, the way to win a game is playing to your strenghths and our is clearly our defence, the weakest part is our attack so why on earth would you want to concentrate on that when we dont have the players, the best we can hope for is to nick a goal from somewhere and hang on, attack at the right time and be cautious.

I think stiggy thinks we are Barcelona up front, I agree with you Northliverpool, play to your strengths and nick a goal if possible

If we do adopt an over cautious approach we will come unstuck. Sitting back and allowing a passing team like tottenham to retain possession will be a disastarous approach.

Stiggy is right. Our biggest strength is our defense, but we still can't sit let a passing team like Tottenham do whatever they want with the ball. We need to prioritize defending, sure, but we have to defend high and aggressively. Spearing needs to absolutely bully Modric, and Kelly has to shut down Bale.
When we do get possession, we need to keep it as well. Not hoofing it. We pass very well and should be able to keep them from dominating possession.

Exactly, adopting an all out defensive approach hoping to nick a goal with Bale, Modric, VDV etc would worry. Never said we're Barcelona Heggypompom but we are certainly no Accrington Stanley
