Phil Thompson has given his verdict on the Liverpool Spurs combined team.
Based on this seasons form, there's no room for the underperforming Deli Ali and Sadio Mane.

Literally picks itself!
Lloris
Tripper
Gomes
Verts
Robertson
Can
Dembele
Salah
Eriksen
Fiminio
Kane
Subs
Son
Mane
VVD
Winks
Vorm
VVD doesn't start as he has hardly played this season and Liverpools return with him in is 2W 2 L I think
Firminio pips Son due to been more clinical in assists and goals
Robertson is only going to get better whereas Davies won't kick on
Henderson isn't even in the same league as Dembele
Gomes beats Sanchez as he has been the one shining light for Liverpool in central defence this season and will be a big star in the future.
Expect to see VVD and Toby replace the two CB by the end of the season though as both are world class on their Day
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Why is Davies not going to kick on but Robertson will?
They are about the same age
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I see a lot more promise in Robertson than Davies, its just my opinion and age has nothing to do with it so odd to bring it up when I haven't mentioned it?!?

I can’t be bothered doing the entire team but here are the dead certs:
- Kane
- Salah
- Vert
- Lloris
- Toby A
- Firmino
- Eriksen

How can he have been the one shining light when he hasn’t played there

Funny how so many are putting more Spurs players in there and at the same time everyone thinks Poch is an incredible manager. How aren't we above them? Surely it is either our players are better or our manager is doing a better job?

Neither Robertson or Davies are elite or ever will be. Should probably be back up for both clubs, if they're truly aiming to be challenging domestically and in Europe
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Out of interest, what did you think of Marcos Alonso when he played for Sunderland? He was a year older than Robertson at that point.
I seem to remember him putting in very average performances and struggling to make the first team. And yet he’s now playing for a team that challenge (domestically anyway) and has a league winners medal.
Writing off a defender at 23 as not good enough for a title challenge team is idiotic.

Spurs have a better first team than us, don’t think that’s a massive claim.
Klopp is a better manager, don’t think that’s a massive claim either.

I don't particularly rate Alonso either, free kicks are his only saving grace. When I was writing that I had Alonso in mind, Davies and Robertson are like him in that they'll be ok but never be elite.

Ye maybe. Think we've got better depth and as we all know from painful experience, that is the hard bit to turn around when you are working under any sort of financial constraints.

Henderson as the midfielder was he on acid?
