Somebody had to start the game thread... White Hart Lane, 6:30AM MST This one screams "draw" to me but a win would obviously do both teams a lot of good here. One of you lot with cable will have to fill in the details on how to find this one on the television.
I just hope Sherwood gets the plot back and realizes we are built for a freaking 4-2-3-1! PLAY IT THAT WAY! What will get us 3 points: ----------------Adebayor---------------- Townsend------Eriksen--------Lennon ---------Paulinho----Sandro----------- Rose--Vertonghen--Chiriches--Walker ------------------Lloris------------------
Lamela, Sandro and Chiriches all injured for this game apparently. Townsend back fit, also sounds like Kaboul but not sure if he'll be used.
Starting XI: Lloris, Walker, Dawson, Vertonghen, Rose, Lennon, Paulinho, Bentaleb, Eriksen, Dembele, Adebayor Subs:Friedel, Naughton, Kaboul, Capoue, Townsend, Defoe, Soldado. Defoe's last, no?
Very strong looking bench, team looks solid but Coleman attacking down our left will be an issue, as Eriksen will want to drift. Just need to win, anything else and may as well just focus on trying to win Europa.
Dreadful start defensively, as usual. Bentalab just can't handle that side of the game and it leaves us wide open playing him deep.
Yeah dull and inept. Lennon back out of form already, Paulinho missing too often, Bentalab just out of his depth as a dmid. Defence also makes bad decisions so often.
its like 11 talented individuals playing against a team. good individually but no cohesion, no crispness
Bentalab was just not marking him in the first 15 mins, get called out by Sherwood and in fairness at least got somewhere close. Come on JD, sign off with a goal
