Sieg Heil.
Team selection for this evening leaves little to the imagination. That said I’m unconvinced that the boss will go with my line up. I’ve based my picks less on the opponents tonight and more on the ever looming tie against Manchester City. If this ‘plan’ of playing the best and the brightest of the kids needs a boost, then that’s down to manager to use his bench. My side is designed not to harm us after the full time whistle has blown. Did I already say that?
Anyone you can’t see on the board above needs to be rested. Huddlestone believe it or don’t is looking like our first choice midfield general as I type and so given his need to sit down every now and again and have a dark tea with 3 large sugars in it, he has to sit this one out.
Vertonghen is another one that can fade and I would have him on the bench at most.
Crucial that Hugo keeps his distribution away from Dawson. I don’t say this out of spite. Rather I have this thing about retaining possession. Not passing to the opposition. That sort of thing. Carrol needs to be fed so he can feed both Bale and Dempsey.
Now this isn’t a request for a game of hoof-ball, but Bale might want to consider that Dempsey is decent areal threat and swing the odd ball into him.
Falque, I’ve picked you because Azza Blud won’t survive 90 minutes on a Sunday if he does 90 on a Thursday. But also because you have great potential. However, if you take anymore of those corners that don’t rise above knee height I fully expect you to settle the invoice for a new telly which I will submit to you on Friday.
I want fluid passing with a purpose (yes I mean you Jake so look lively son). Get the ball to the creatives and give us a goal or two. Do your very best. We should win this by 2 goals.
Actually I think I’d take the opposite approach and play a near full strength side as;
a) it gives the chance for AVB to try an experimental, unthinkable home formation of basically 4 4 2 (as you have) and let the team get comfortable with that plus Defoe & Ade up front
b)if we dont win this tonight we may as well forget the EL and stop wasting resources pursuing it.
Expecting Spurs to get at least 4 tonight
beat me to it Paul with the 4-4-2 but to be fair they do call me Aidy12inchJ
join the club :-)
You are a soothsayer, Paul – got it spot on!!
Livermore at left wing? Dempsey up front? Smith at Millwall, Jesus wept H, do I not like that! the words rusty spoon, genetalia and removal come to mind.
I think Ade HAS to start tonight, if anything to get him on the bloody pitch, if he bangs a couple in tonight it might put him in contention with some confidence and match fitness for Sunday here is my guess
Lloris
Walker-Dawson-Caulker-Naughton
Falque-Livermore-Carrol-Bale
Defoe-Ade
Mock the 4-4-2 but I think he might give it a whirl! COYMF YID ARMY!!
KID ARMY!!
Livermore at left wing? Dempsey up front? Smith at Millwall, Jesus wept H, do I not like that! :freu
Ooh my days.
Spurstacus,much to Essex’s annoyance I do give people on here voices and faces,even dwellings eg:Spursguv is a fat skinhead who lives in a single room that overlooks a schoolyard,please change your picture as It distresses me,I hold you in much higher position in my head :-D
That picture was used by me in honour of my old mum. Admittedly it’s not one of her better shots, but at least she’s smiling. I’ll see what I can do about changing it.
I never pictured you as a beautiful elderly lady.
If you’re going to quote me get it right-I’ve never ever been annoyed at any of your posts, all I said was I thought it rather strange (in a very salacious way) that anyone would want to knock one out in tune with the voices in their head-but if it floats your boat-crack on
:winke:
God forbid he puts that team out.
Could do worse than play the Nextgen kids who beat Barca 4-1 yesterday.
Makes you wonder.
It,s going to be a BOOutiful night for footie,BOOund to be plenty of goals,lets put the BOOth in and no booing.TWITCHY OUT :ninja: COYS :daumen:
