Can Tottenham beat Liverpool at White Hart Lane?
Liverpool v Tottenham preview.
Harry Redknapp has only been at Tottenham for 2 games but from listening to him speak you’d think they were in 2nd spot breathing down Liverpool’s necks, not 19 spots below.
One could even argue that Tottenham’s current euphoria – sorely-needed as it is for improving morale – is unfounded as Bolton shot themselves in the foot with their tactics and Tottenham players have never needed ‘inspiration’ when playing the likes of Chelsea, Arsenal or Manchester United.
Indeed, Redknapp’s real test as WHL’s Messiah starts with Tottenham’s home game against Liverpool, and after snatching a 4-4 draw away to Arsenal Harry is bullish about Tottenham’s prospects:
“Bring on Liverpool. They will come to the Lane to look for a result but will find my team giving it a real go.”
Getting a point here [Arsenal] when it looked as if we would get nothing has given my players a real confidence boost.
Now they are really buzzing and they won’t need any motivation from me now when we take on Liverpool.”
So that would be 3 matches in a row where you weren’t needed Harry? Maybe Ramos was fired a bit too soon?

Nothing is impossible in football but for tottenham to get a result they need to sort out their back 4 who are erratic most of the times.Also harry needs to do something to gomes, i mean he has done nothing to justify 10 million price tag. The most tottenham can achieve is a draw which i highly doubt.
October 30th, 2008 @ 12:23When Stevie G and Co come into the Lane they have so much more to lose (1st place) then what the Spurs have to gain. They will be hard pressed to hold the Reds to just two goals and even harder pressed to have a ball see the back of the net. I wish the Spurs well but not this week.
October 30th, 2008 @ 13:06Each and every match is important, when you are bottom, not just for the manager but the club. You will note that Harry never said Spurs would beat Liverpool but would give them a game.
October 30th, 2008 @ 13:07Liverpool, Manchester United and Chelsea are clearly in a class above Arsenal and Liverpool will be a very hard to beat; but not impossible.
October 30th, 2008 @ 16:05spurs have the quality and now they have the morale boost, not enough or not likely to beat liverpool but given how that team won last few games (barely) a draw will be very much possible … for spurs it would mean good result against chelsea, liverpool and arsenal so far which will take them long way eventually as they are climbing out off the bottom of the table
October 30th, 2008 @ 19:28tottenham is going down…
October 31st, 2008 @ 03:37Liverpool have only won 1 game by more than a single goal. Admirable fightbacks in many cases but you can’t win a title on this basis. They’ll be found out sooner rather than later and I expect Spurs to get at least a point.
October 31st, 2008 @ 10:24You can expect till the cows come home but for a team which leaked 4 goals and managed to grab a point due to some generosity by Alumnia me think Spurs are going against the red tsunami here which is Liverpool. Reina isnt going to make the mistakes the Gooners custodian did and the Liverpool strikers arent going to play fancy like the Arsenal strikers did when with a 2 goal lead. Every mistake is going to be clinically punished by the Reds and the less than average Spurs keeper is going to have a torrid time against the league leaders who are looking to distant themselves against the chasing pack.
October 31st, 2008 @ 15:21I dont know how we are last on the ladder ramos really must have not ben speaking the same language to the players or something although he did manage to get us a draw at stamford bridge against chelsea. tommorows game against liverpool will be huge i think the fans will get right behind tottenham for this one i can see tottenham winning 2-1 or 2-0 if bently, huddlestone, modric, king, and hutton and lennon and bent and pavyl all play there best that is. and not slop around.
October 31st, 2008 @ 21:30I believe Tottenham have a good chance of pulling off a win against Liverpool, as it has been noted Liverpool haven't exactly been raising the roof with huge scoring matches and are very lucky to be in the top spot going it to this match, Hopefully Spurs can work their magic and play like the team they were expected to be this season, C'mon you Spurs!
October 31st, 2008 @ 08:09yes, they can
November 1st, 2008 @ 02:39what are you talking about with this:
November 1st, 2008 @ 02:41"So that would be 3 matches in a row where you weren’t needed Harry? Maybe Ramos was fired a bit too soon?"
3 matches ago, confidence was zero. Idiot.
Any comments to make EPL? Looks like it didn't pan out as you expected. Title contenders, I don't think so!
November 2nd, 2008 @ 03:01What gets me is that everyone is praising Redknapp and we’re forgetting his history. His ‘bacon sarnie’ approach destroyed a promising West Ham team and he sold off the best players, getting in the likes of Titi Camara but also, look at the London games he played. They are the only ones he fired the Spammers up for. He is Wet Spam through and through and it sticks in my gullet. He ain’t gonna keep us up either cos once the novelty of bacon samwiches at training and the jolly ‘can’t understand a word they say’ approach to our foreign players wears off we are back in it and by that point he will have weakened our team and syphoned off our money with crap loan players. A couple of lucky games do not recover our team and he is flattering to deceive – you’ve got to admit if the Arse had defended like a Sunday league team (instead of the under 10s)then we wouldn’t have got the 2 late goals and the Carragher og was a joke. At the end of the day we haven’t got a decent striker because we sold them on. Until we start looking like scoring in open play then I’m holding my breath. What we need is the ex player at Newcastle. He knows what Spurs are about and he’s got the fighting spirit. Redcrapp is a lightweight spammer.
