Introduction and Guest Welcome
00:00:16
Global Sports Podcast Network
There you go. The intro is so good. They played it twice. Welcome back to the Daily Tottenham Podcast. and Me, Joe Forrester here from the Daily Tottenham Show. We've also got Chris with us who listeners to the pod. We'll obviously recognize his dulcet tones.
00:00:28
Chris Mervyn
Thanks.
00:00:28
Global Sports Podcast Network
And we're joined by Adash from the Daily Liverpool Pod. That is because there's a heavyweight clash in the Premier League this weekend. um As Spurs get ready to host Liverpool. Adash, welcome to the Daily Tottenham
Liverpool's Season and Match Excitement
00:00:40
Global Sports Podcast Network
Pod, mate.
00:00:40
Global Sports Podcast Network
How are you doing? How's your season going?
00:00:43
Adarsh
ah Yeah, I'm doing great. The season's going really, real really well so far. um Obviously, I had a little blip in terms of two back-to-back draws in the Premier League um for for from a local point of view. But ah no, it's going amazing. And no, I'm really looking forward to the game on Sunday because the way you guys are playing, it should be a cracking game.
Tottenham's Performances and Tactics
00:00:59
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, we ah we're recording this 12 or so hours after Tottenham's quiet, uneventful game in the Carabao Cup against Manchester United. um Chris, how are you feeling? Have you aged several years?
00:01:16
Chris Mervyn
I've been to the doctor this morning, I've got those heart tablets.
00:01:20
Global Sports Podcast Network
ah
00:01:21
Chris Mervyn
Stopped having all these things that are good for you because I now realise, well, I realise it for a while now that I could look after my heart being a Spurs fan. It's not been good.
00:01:30
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:01:31
Chris Mervyn
But it's entertainment, mate.
00:01:33
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:01:33
Chris Mervyn
Fantastic. Cheers, Ansh.
00:01:34
Global Sports Podcast Network
That's it. Yeah. at And ah like, at this point, I think Angel Foster Cogloo is trolling us because he he literally laughed. Did the gladiator quote? Are you not entertained?
00:01:46
Global Sports Podcast Network
And but i've never I've never seen a football manager do that. He's like, basically saying, I don't care that we're seeding loads of goals. You're like, oh, well, what do you do about that?
Liverpool's Consistency and Match Predictions
00:01:57
Global Sports Podcast Network
Adash, what do you think the kind of Liverpool fans are ah thinking going into this game against an incredibly unpredictable Tottenham?
00:02:04
Adarsh
I mean, I think that's you think you nailed you nailed it. Unpredictable. like We don't know what Tottenham's going to turn up. We could easily come to Tottenham and win comfortably, but also we could be 2-0 down within 10 minutes. It's just we don't know what Tottenham's going to turn up. I know what Liverpool will turn up. we We will probably play our football and maybe give you guys a chance at the back, but I feel like we are consistent this season. we've I think recently been a bit sloppy defensively, but on the whole, quite solid um in defense, probably the best defense in the league. But I just don't know what Tottenham is going to turn up. So like I can't, I don't know what to expect on Sunday. We could have a free, free draw or maybe a three nil win for Liverpool. It's going to be so unpredictable, but I i know what I'm guaranteed is going to be entertainment. Definitely from a Tottenham point of view. um Hopefully Liverpool can do that as well.
Comparing Tottenham and Chelsea
00:02:48
Global Sports Podcast Network
but this is it and Liverpool obviously topping the table i I would say from my point of view and I'm not sure if you agree Chris being by far and away the best team and the most consistent team in the Premier League this year Spurs currently 10th in the league um conceded the same number of goals as Chelsea scored one fewer but at eight places below
00:02:57
Chris Mervyn
Yep.
00:03:11
Global Sports Podcast Network
Spolo Chelsea in the table essentially what that tells you is when they win they tend to thrash people and they tend to lose games by just a goal. I'm. Chris have you got and it's so hard to do this it's gonna sticking your finger in the air and hoping for the best got any kind of idea about how you think it might go on Sunday.
Tottenham vs Liverpool: Unpredictable Outcomes
00:03:30
Chris Mervyn
it's really interesting with Adash because at the end of the day what you just said about not knowing what Spurs are going to play is exactly what every Spurs fan now is like so you'll guess as good as mine we could be go for a 1-0 win unlikely but you know we can defend but it's just a it's just that level and and and the pressure I mean Liverpool do press don't they so yeah
00:03:44
Adarsh
Yeah. Hmm.
00:03:56
Chris Mervyn
I think the last subhampton game i think i said it it could be a six five or six or draw or something like that and that's kind of what i feel like it you know it doesn't matter if you go one nil
Tottenham's Defensive Challenges
00:04:06
Chris Mervyn
two nil up three nil up um there's always going to be opportunities for the other side and you know that doesn't do your heart any good great for the neutral but i'm not a neutral obviously when I'm watching Spurs so um yeah and you probably feel the same if you were Liverpool fan as well great we're getting some wins sometimes but and then the football is is generally exciting but it's ah simple mistakes it's individual mistakes often which is really frustrating and
00:04:30
Global Sports Podcast Network
Mm.
00:04:34
Chris Mervyn
ah you can ah don't ah As we spoke before, I don't know who to blame. you know Is it Ange? Is it because he won't do that style? Is it the player's not adapting in the in the moment to be able to actually think, actually, no, I don't pass it back right now.
00:04:49
Chris Mervyn
I'll now turn and I'll clear it. It does happen sometimes.
00:04:51
Global Sports Podcast Network
Mm.
00:04:51
Chris Mervyn
that did I saw Dragos undo it once or twice. You might not have the skill to to bring it down this chest like other players and and and pass it along, but it's going to be interesting. so
00:05:03
Chris Mervyn
It could be a very good match. We could go up again in one or two nil, well one nil maybe, but we'll see, we'll see.
00:05:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
Well, I'm with you. I think, I mean, ah Liverpool will attack, Liverpool will press, of course they will.
00:05:14
Chris Mervyn
Yeah.
00:05:15
Global Sports Podcast Network
um So, and Spurs will do the same. So you've got to expect goals. As you say, individual mistakes, pick anything about the Manchester United game. Bear in mind Spurs without two first choice centre backs. and first choice keepers became abundantly ah clear in the Tottenham game last night and I was just thinking okay Manchester United are frankly at the moment a pretty mediocre team and Liverpool I was just thinking oh if that's Mo Salah and you're playing around him like that you' you're kind of youre get you're asking for trouble. Adash kind of tactically what do you think Spurs fans can can expect to see from slots Liverpool on Sunday?
Liverpool's Tactical Flexibility
00:05:55
Adarsh
Yeah, it's a good question. I think from from a tactical point of view, Slott has shown this season that he's willing to adapt depending on the opposition. I think that's something that, as a Liverpool fan, it's quite refreshing because obviously we're so used to Klopp and having that one approach, Gongho, a bit similar to you guys in terms of post-Goglu style of play.
00:06:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:06:13
Chris Mervyn
Apart from the cups and league titles.
00:06:13
Adarsh
um Yeah, it's actually very similar to Klopp's first few seasons at Liverpool, though, because we were defensively all over the place, but we were given like probably the most entertaining team when Klopp first arrived as well.
00:06:15
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:06:25
Global Sports Podcast Network
yep
00:06:26
Adarsh
So I think.
00:06:26
Chris Mervyn
Let me just write this down. Let me just write this down. I'll use that for every excuse now moving forward. Go on.
00:06:30
Global Sports Podcast Network
pitt pin that tip Pin that to your vision board, Chris. You can wake up in the morning when it's going badly, when we're losing against Ipswich again, you go one day.
00:06:30
Adarsh
Yeah.
00:06:35
Adarsh
Think about that, yeah.
00:06:38
Chris Mervyn
right It's right next to the Lamborghini and the and the Villa.
00:06:42
Adarsh
um Yeah, no, but I mean, that that is that could potentially happen with positive cochleas. It's obviously a big question um yet to be answered. But from slots point of view, I feel like he does love that control. He does love to have that possession. And he's he's someone that loves composure and calmness in the in the team. And we can't always guarantee that, especially like we're going to be playing you on the weekend. So um I think he will set up with sort of that solidity but also looking to pressure you guys knowing that you guys will be susceptible susceptible to a mistake. I feel like we we're trying we'll try to it'll be like you guys have so much energy and we will try to calm it down but I feel like we could get sucked into that as well from a tactical point of view a bit similar to the Newcastle game we had a few weeks ago where Newcastle just
00:07:26
Adarsh
just, I don't know. They just, I've never seen them perform like that this season, but they were just
Exploiting Liverpool's Weaknesses
00:07:30
Adarsh
incredible. And I think depending on who scores, ah who scores the first goal and who's like really going for it in that first 15, 20 minutes, I feel like that will dictate the tempo of the game, but hopefully slot and the little boys from my point of view, obviously can, can withstand that.
00:07:46
Global Sports Podcast Network
Chris, do you think there's any kind of, because I look at Liverpool and I don't really see many weak points to exploit, but do you think tactically there's anything that And will look to do or anything he'll look at? basically is ah Is there any way that that spurs you feel can can hurt Liverpool?
00:08:03
Chris Mervyn
Yeah, I think we can hurt any team, to be honest. it's it's not that That's not been the problem, is it really. it's It's actually adapting to the situation. So, you know, if we get with slot, they do press, they do attack, but it's much more measured and they they'll be a bit more compact and they they will he will make subs during the game to to change that as well.
00:08:25
Chris Mervyn
And he doesn't necessarily do that, although he can argue that he hasn't got the players currently to do that as well. um But I don't think it's in his philosophy because he wants the players to be the best they can be and um and work out. But I think that we can definitely hurt them. But again, it's going to be because we are susceptible on the break and we do the high line. And you only saw that yesterday against Man U when Diallo came on. and um Yeah, a lot more press speed um and put us under lots lots of pressure. Not necessarily, yes, it was ah of our own making, but at the same point, it's going to be interesting to see how that works out with against Liverpool. But um and analogy wise, I think we're a little bit like a puppy at the moment. We're going around, we've got the ball and you can't get the ball off us. We won't give it back to you. um And, you know, once we lose a ball, you do a fake throw and we'll be looking for it and you've you've gone off the other direction. That's what we are currently.
00:09:20
Global Sports Podcast Network
I like that. You you also, um you said you made kind of an interesting comparison between Slott and and Foster Coggloo earlier, Chris, basically can kind of, I can't remember exactly what it is you said, but basically saying that kind of on a slot was kind of the grown up version of of Angie Foster Coggloo.
00:09:32
Chris Mervyn
Yeah.
00:09:41
Global Sports Podcast Network
um and I think Spurs fans kind of yeah very much recognize that and that adaptability you mentioned Adash I think like that's something that Spurs fans kind of would cry out for. It's reading this is Anfield the Liverpool blog this morning and they've kind of identified that battle between destiny your doggy should he be back um and Mo Salah is potentially kind of a key element in the game. Where are Liverpool fans at with Salah
Mo Salah's Form and Contract
00:10:07
Global Sports Podcast Network
at the moment of Darsh? Because obviously he he upset a few people by with his contract chat and not seeming to be that committed to the club, but he is still Mo Salah.
00:10:17
Global Sports Podcast Network
so like
00:10:18
Adarsh
Yeah, I mean, he's been unbelievable this season. So I can't from from his on the pitch performances. I don't think any Liverpool fan can can be can be complaining. I mean, he's got, I think it's 30 goals and assists in 23 games or something like that. is It's ridiculous numbers. it's It's better than his first season numbers, which is saying something.
00:10:35
Adarsh
um He has been the go-to player for Liverpool. um He's just been so reliable. He's been reliable for a number of seasons at Anfield but I think this season he's kind of taken the ownership of the team and I feel like on the slot he is the main man and maybe on the clock he was more fitting into the system where I think Slott gives him the ownership to just go and attack, just do your game. And I think that's a change we've seen from a Liverpool fans point of view. Obviously, yeah, like you mentioned, he's made those comments about the contract situation and that's obviously a big stress for a lot of Liverpool fans along with Van Dyke and Trent.
Liverpool's Title Aspirations
00:11:07
Adarsh
I can tell you guys, I've had a vision that on Christmas Day, Liverpool are going to announce all three of them will sign their contract. Well, that's what I want for Christmas really. I feel like a lot of Liverpool fans want that.
00:11:17
Adarsh
ah
00:11:17
Chris Mervyn
You're not going to burst into the song, are you?
00:11:19
Global Sports Podcast Network
that so that
00:11:21
Adarsh
I don't know. I don't know. I have a vision. I have a vision that's going to happen. So if it does happen, then I've called it. I've ah spoken to it into existence.
00:11:28
Global Sports Podcast Network
There you go.
00:11:28
Chris Mervyn
Believe and you can achieve.
00:11:30
Adarsh
Yeah, exactly.
00:11:32
Global Sports Podcast Network
um Right, we're going to be back, obviously, previewing the game just a few moments time. But right now, do you have a story to tell that the world needs to hear? Have you struggled with reaching new audiences who are engaged with your story? Well, it might be time for you to start a podcast. Let me tell you about a platform we use here at the Global Sports Podcast Network.

Ready to tell your story? Check out the link in the show description to learn more about Zencaster. Adash, is there any area that us as Spurs fans kind of with hope in our hearts, could look to exploit Liverpool. Is there a weak area that that some of our players, and those those kind of forwards ah on fire at the moment, and any kind of, yeah, any any space that they could look to exploit?
00:12:26
Adarsh
Um, it's a good question, actually. I think you mentioned earlier our press and it is, it is still at a decent level, but I don't think it's at the level of that Klopp put in the local team. out And then obviously we've, we don't have Manet, Salah and Firmino as a front three. It's now probably Nunez, Diaz or Gackbo and Salah. So I don't think we're we're as intense. And I feel like when you guys play out from the back and you guys can pass it one, two touch and get at our midfield and defense, I feel like that's something that could be a potential weakness for Liverpool um obviously not comparing injuries but we've also i think we're ah without Canata who does an amazing job defensively he covers sort of not just his own position but sort of that right channel in defense so i feel like with Bronzo Gomez i think he's gonna probably slot into centre back there i feel like
00:13:15
Adarsh
We're not as defensively strong in the team with, without Kanate. I think he makes a massive difference and I feel like you guys can sort of have some joy um when you play that sort of one, two touch football.
00:13:26
Adarsh
Also Son, I know he has a great record against Liverpool. He scores like every time he plays Liverpool for some reason. um So I feel like he's going to be the danger man. If you guys can get Madison on the ball as well, creating those chances.
00:13:36
Adarsh
I i think you guys don't have to fear about creating chances. You'll create chances. It's just defensively from your point of view.
00:13:41
Chris Mervyn
Yeah.
00:13:43
Adarsh
That's what I think.
00:13:44
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, absolutely. chris Chris, you kind of think, I guess the thing that jumps out to us as Spurs fans is potentially that defense. Um, to be honest, I actually thought, I think that rally drag scene in particular has done a pretty good job and actually sounds very strange for a team that are as leaky as us.
00:13:53
Chris Mervyn
Yeah.
00:14:00
Global Sports Podcast Network
The center backs aren't really the issue. Um, yeah.
00:14:05
Chris Mervyn
Yeah i think you're I think you're right and Grey next to him I think for for me obviously what he's had to do and he's out of position and his age and his first season in the Premier League he's done really well so um he's for me he's probably one of my player of the seasons really but um yeah I really do like the way we've been playing, to be fair, in parts. But obviously, benefits of Dragosanj, he hasn't got anybody next to him to, um he's going to push too far forward, and he hasn't got the speed to make up the ground ah when when they lose the ball, so Archer Gray tends to stay with him, and he's technically a better footballer anyway, so.
00:14:43
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, and I think the worry comes obviously with, as you mentioned, all those players, like I mean. Gappo Nunez, Diaz, Salah, kind of take your pick. um like that The quality is is outrageous and it'll be it'll be a real test. and How much, Adash, are ada you looking for but kind of going into into Christmas in top spot? Because obviously at the moment you only kind of have one realistic title challenger and it pains me to say it's one that nobody was thinking. It's it's Chelsea. How important is it kind of psychologically to go into into Christmas top of the Premier League?
00:15:18
Adarsh
I think, I think it's really important. I think given that we've actually not statistically, we've not won a game in December in the Premier League for Liverpool this season yet. So, and also if we're kicking off after Chelsea play Everton away and if they get a result, they will go top of the Premier League at Christmas. So it's a big, this game has massive implications on the festive period, but also for the season going ahead. So I think it's massive. If slot can get to Christmas top of the Premier League,
00:15:46
Adarsh
I think, I think we're in a really good position and yeah, we've, we've had a game postponed. We've dropped points recently, but overall the season's been amazing. I think if you asked any Liverpool fan, would you, with slot coming in, would you want to be top of Christmas? We'll be like, yeah, of course, but we don't think it's going to happen. So he's, he's definitely massively exceeded expectations and it will just be a great sort of mini achievement um in the season. And it can make all of us Liverpool fans dream because I think, he I mean,
00:16:12
Adarsh
as a Liverpool fan, the title is the big thing. um we We love the Champions League, we love all the other cups, but we've only won one title in 30, 45 years and that's that's the big... I think Liverpool fans would all want that as us the the achievement this season and we're in a great position to do that if we can win on Sunday.
00:16:30
Global Sports Podcast Network
Chris, I just had to to Google it, by the way. A title is something that teams win. ah at like I've not heard of it, but it's not really a thing.
00:16:39
Chris Mervyn
No, I'm not sure.
00:16:41
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, not relevant for us.
00:16:41
Chris Mervyn
always nicest It's always nice hearing every supporter say, yeah, for for us, this is the one. like We don't really care about the other cups. We've won them lots of times and they're they're good, but yeah, this is a stepping stone to the title.
00:16:53
Chris Mervyn
Whereas, ah you know what's our stepping stone to the cup?
00:16:53
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:16:56
Chris Mervyn
um Hopefully it's not, you know we'll get further and we'll will play well against Liverpool, but um yeah, cranky, who knows. But I think going back to what you said about slot in his first season as well, yes, there's a new manager bounce, but he hasn't done that much to change it from Klopp.
Liverpool's Managerial Evolution
00:17:11
Chris Mervyn
He's just, like you said, he's less aggressive on the press. And because of that, they like they sit back a little bit more and they they're a little bit more in the block. So um they're probably structurally a bit more defensive when they need to be.
00:17:23
Chris Mervyn
which has helped really, especially when you don't have, like you said, the midfielders they had previously with Klopp pushing on, whereas we get exposed quite a lot because we have, yes, Koulisessi's been playing on the right, but he pulls into the centre and then we've technically got two, we've got quite a bit of gaps, which hopefully you won't see.
00:17:45
Global Sports Podcast Network
that that that has That did occur to me when I was kind of reading about this. Is it Destiny Doggy versus Mo Salah? Is that the battle? I thought, well, Doggy will be stood in the Liverpool six yard box down the other end of the pitch.
00:17:55
Global Sports Podcast Network
So it's not, shouldn't, they they probably won't even meet. ah ah I've really liked Jed Spence.
00:17:59
Chris Mervyn
Well, Spencer's playing well. Spencer's playing.
00:18:02
Adarsh
Yeah.
00:18:03
Chris Mervyn
He's got the speed and he's got footwork and um actually every game he's got better. He hasn't given the ball away so much at which sometimes happens. He's been stronger in the tackle. So yeah, I've We can complain all we want, but ten typically we've been playing okay, to be honest, in in in parts.
00:18:18
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah
00:18:19
Chris Mervyn
And even when we were feeling up and I heard Amarin say that Man United yeah yeah last night were were in control. Well, you weren't in control, you're losing. So um you didn't really get control of the match because ultimately you were losing and yeah, you didn't take take your two chances.
00:18:35
Chris Mervyn
And that's something which we have not been guilty of as well in previous matches.
00:18:36
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah. Hmm.
00:18:39
Chris Mervyn
But um yeah, I think Liverpool, going back to Liverpool again, I think they've done really well. and It's a funny old league, isn't it? Everybody beats everybody. I mean, you can argue about Nottingham Forest being title contenders as well, and I've saw lots lots of fellow podcasts, people from Nottingham Forest will say, hang on, you know, mention us as well, because they're up there. But um yeah, we'll see. I guess the real season starts after Christmas in that respect, but um for the title in particular. um But um I don't know where we'll we'll be at that point, but hopefully we'll be a bit further along.
00:19:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
I think that's that's probably Adash's nightmare if if Liverpool don't win it this year because Forrest pipped them to it.
00:19:17
Adarsh
um Yeah, you know, it just yeah, it might not just be Liverpool be Arsenal as well.
00:19:18
Global Sports Podcast Network
Mate, it's awful.
00:19:18
Chris Mervyn
That hasn't happened to us before.
00:19:24
Adarsh
They'll be I mean, they'll be kicking themselves. I mean, I don't know what's going on with them um at the moment, but let's not talk about them.
00:19:30
Chris Mervyn
Who cares?
00:19:30
Global Sports Podcast Network
the Yeah.
00:19:30
Adarsh
Yeah. you can this something
00:19:32
Global Sports Podcast Network
the own The only thing that matters is the Arsenal don't win the league. So whoever can sort that out for us.
00:19:38

00:20:08
Adarsh
Okay.
00:20:08
Global Sports Podcast Network
So so so you can you can stew in mine and Chris's misplaced confidence or otherwise. um Chris, what are you what do you think? What's your prediction?
00:20:17
Chris Mervyn
I think I've been wrong every time I've done this in every crossover. um and i've been I've been crazy wild sometimes, but you know I think I'm going to go for 2-1 draw. um I think that's decent and I think there's good money on that. I think that we might get the first goal, then we'll go 2-1 down.
00:20:36
Chris Mervyn
perhaps, and we'll get we'll we'll get it at the end. I'm not sure. The the pressure on both for both sides, when they press, press is is immense. and you know You only need a deflection to go in, that kind of thing. so We could win 2-1, 3-2, but I think 2-1.
00:20:52
Global Sports Podcast Network
tool okay do you know what i'm actually i'm going for three all because i find it very hard to predict so exactly exactly i find it very hard to predict a Tottenham defeat even though i can just because i just don't want to not because i don't believe it yeah but it's um it's yeah we could conceivably get thrashed um that's absolutely but i think yeah three three allies
00:20:56
Chris Mervyn
oh It's Christmas!
00:21:08
Chris Mervyn
Don't say it, don't say it.
00:21:18
Global Sports Podcast Network
a prediction slash a hope because I'd be pretty I'd be obviously you want to beat everybody at home but I'd be very pleased with the point against Liverpool kind of given how they've played um Adash what do you reckon?
00:21:30
Adarsh
Oh, this is this is so tough. um um Yeah, like you said, it could be anything. um
00:21:36
Chris Mervyn
Go with your head.
00:21:39
Adarsh
You know what? My original thought was 2-2, but I'm going to go for 3-2 Liverpool win just because... I think if I look back to the game last season, which was a lot of controversy as well, I feel like Liverpool players will have it in the players that played last season will want to get so revenge.
00:21:53
Adarsh
Hopefully, that's what I would want to see as well.
00:21:55
Chris Mervyn
What happened last season?
00:21:55
Adarsh
um yeah You don't remember the goal that was ah was clearly onside.

Global Sports Podcast Network
I did listen back to the recording of the VAR and that they're increasingly frantic. um and yeah and i've ah like I've got no problem with Liverpool whatsoever. It's just like it was just quite amusing because it's just quite funny when it goes for you.
00:22:14
Adarsh
Yeah, that is true.
00:22:15
Global Sports Podcast Network
um
00:22:15
Adarsh

Well Tottenham did have that stage because obviously Fernando Urente with a dodgy kind of handball to put us in the Champions League against Man City and Gary Neville did say Spurs best player is VAR, which I'm perfectly happy with.
