"I'd take the 3-0.
Just give them the three points."Realistically, firstly, it saves us the travel.

Take it, move on, keep it moving.”As well as their diabolical league form, Spurs are also coming off the back of a humiliating defeat in the Champions League on Tuesday.They were 4-0 down after just 22 minutes, and interim head coach Tudor has been widely panned for his role in the eventual 5-2 defeat.Tudor sprung a surprise in goal as he dropped Guglielmo Vicario for Antonin Kinsky in goal, only to replace Kinsky after 17 minutes with Tottenham trailing 3-0.Kinsky was supported by several teammates as well as members of the coaching staff as he left the field, but he was ignored by Tudor, who has presided over four successive defeats since he was appointed as a temporary replacement for Thomas Frank in February.Choose Liverpool.com as a 'Preferred Source' on Google News for quick access to the news you value.Tottenham Hotspur FCLiverpool FC
