Anyone want a game at left back? -------------Friedel Walker-Kaboul-Nelsen-Gallas Lennon-Sandro-Modric-Bale ---------VdV-Adebayor Could be Bale at leftback, or Kaboul left. Dempsey is out for Fulham.
Missing Dempsey is huge for them, now if Dembele and Pogrebniak(?) could go missing too... Whatever, just get the job done boys, and win. Forget about what anyone else does. But there will be something wrong with the world if Motherwell can get in the CL and we don't.
I like to see Bale at leftback, VDV on the left, Defoe and Ade upfront. But then I think HR may go 3-5-2.
Yep, win and we are in the top 4 with a chance for CL. Lose and we have a good chance, but no assurance of a top 4 finish (72% chance according to http://www.sportsclubstats.com/England/PremierLeague.html). In fact, a win gives Tottenham about a 25% chance of finishing in 3rd. Even a draw can put us in third (as long as Arsenal lose by more than 1 goal. Draw and we have a 78% chance of the top 4. I hope the team doesn't see those percentages... it could lead them to falsely think that it was in the bag when it's not.
Livermore starts with Bale at LB in a 4-2-3-1, possibly Modric tucking in from left mid. I hope Harry has got this right... Friedel; Walker, Gallas, Kaboul, Bale; Livermore, Sandro; Lennon, van der Vaart, Modric, Adebayor.
In case there was any question, the game is live on Fox Soccer Channel in the US. This is different than what I thought I saw listed earlier in the week. Go Spurs!!!
spurs really playing lively - lots of energy, swarming after the ball. playing like they needed to a month ago
Our players just need to win this game. Still only 1-0. Jol has adjusted their tactics, pushed Dembele higher up.
