Tottenham have a better team than Liverpool - Graeme Souness
GRAEME SOUNESS has admitted Tottenham have a better team on paper than his former side Liverpool.
Tottenham have a better team than Liverpool, claims Reds legend Graeme Souness
Souness was speaking ahead of Tottenham’s visit to Liverpool this afternoon.
Spurs came into the game two places and two points behind their opponents but beat them 4-1 in the reverse fixture at Wembley last October.
Both Liverpool and Tottenham won their previous fixtures, against Huddersfield and Manchester United respectively in midweek.
Souness says the 2-0 win over United shows Spurs are the better outfit and that there was plenty for Liverpool to worry about today.
Man United did their best but they just blew them away in the end and 2-0 didn’t flatter them
“Spurs do (look better on paper),” Souness said on Sky Sports.
“There is a question mark against Liverpool coming into this game.
“With all respect to Huddersfield, they weren’t convincing when they went there and won. Huddersfield are a very different proposition to this Spurs team.
“Spurs in midweek were fabulous, there’s no other way to describe them. Man United did their best but they just blew them away in the end and 2-0 didn’t flatter them.

“The key is their midfield, what midfield is going to do the better job of pressing the ball all the time?
“I don’t see Tottenham coming here and doing much different, I still think they’ll play their normal game, which does make them vulnerable at the back.
“That’s why it’s imperative that their midfield do a real number on Liverpool’s midfield.
“I worry slightly about Liverpool’s midfield today.”
