seems a bit much really.
I think both LFC and Spurs have had a couple of breaks during the course of the season and havent looked at their sharpest coming back.
Not sure it helps having so much time to prepare. Tend to see slighty slow starts and a few mistakes. Add that to a few nerves, anything could happen!
Early goal conceded by Spurs is probable though. Its how we seem to roll now!
Slightly left field thought i had the other day....where as it is good to take the lead, it will settle players down etc, if one team is a goal, or may be even 2 up at half time, what we have seen this season is that it is never enough and it has been difficult to defend a lead and often chasing can be a good position to be in. An early goal in the 2nd half, like Ajax vs Spurs and Liverpool v Barca can really swing momentum. So often the case that its how you end the game is more important than how you start
With our respective SF comebacks neither team will feel out of it if there's enough time left...it's going to be fascinating...I just wonder whether 3 weeks prep is enough time to turn Trippier into a decent defender
3 weeks to prepare for one game...

Sorry meant to say that these games also give the two Harry’s a chance to continue getting match practise

I think we’ve got the squad doing a few tough mudders

Are the forces teams really a decent standard?

I've played against a few ex-players and yeah tbh.
In fact I played against a 50 year old once (I was in my 20's and fit as a flea at the time) who played for the army first team and couldn't get near the fvcker. His first touch was brilliant.

Fair play. I hope they're good enough to get players match-sharp. It'll be a much better game if Winks and Kane start.

Hi Bales
The standard is probably akin to League 1.
When I played for the Combined Services back in the early 70’s, there were around 8 players who could have
Comfortably survived in the Football League at high level.
When I was based in Singapore, we played the Singapore national team as part of their preparation trying to qualify for the 1974 WC. We beat them 3-1 and we had 7 players with Football League experience in our team that night.
So in answer to your question, yes the standard is very good indeed.
Key thing is that they will play flat out but will not make silly tackles

Hi GG. Impressive stuff! Hopefully it's enough to keep everyone ticking over and get the Harrys up to speed.
