Anfield will carry Liverpool to a win over Tottenham

Anfield will carry Liverpool to a win against Tottenham.

Words by Paul Landwehr.

The Spurs tie at Anfield is on everyone’s minds recently as Tottenham have proven to be a team to reckon with as title challengers after a feckless Everton dropped precipitously from the picture following a flourishing start.

Leicester, upstarts to these reigning champions, were swept aside at Anfield a few weeks ago and seem to have faded from view.

While the Reds and Liverpool have continued to persevere, and carry on with consistency and champions quality and character; they have maintained their presence and team depth and superiority in the face of unrivalled adversity.

There are points left on offer this month to bring a close to football this wild and crazy and deadly year. Should Jurgen Klopp and company manage to negotiate their third consecutive perfect December, these Reds will be in the driver’s seat in both the Premier League and Champions League – with their chances strong in the knockouts in Europe next year.

With fans back in the stands, we should see higher energy levels and better play from players who have obviously missed an audience in attendance. Just look at the countenance on the lad’s faces when they entered the pitch against Wolves on Sunday with some 2,000 strong singing in the Kop!

We never thought that few people could make so much noise, but it’s clear that they spurred the players on to great heights. They played with greater intensity than we’ve seen this season and were rewarded for it.

Never ever discount the value of fans in the seats. That twelfth man effect is extraordinarily precious and the Reds showed exactly why with their sound thrashing of a very good Wolves side.

Nowhere is this more important than in Liverpool. Nowhere have the absence of fans had more of an impact. Aye! We go again! This means more!!
