    Team for Wolves...

    So are you saying play 3-5-1-1. Quite a funky formation.

    Tottenham Vs Chelsea: Match Thread

    Was hoping that Man City would slip up today. Makes me feel even more nervous about tomorrow.

    Inter Milan Vs Tottenham: Match Thread

    Could anyone give me an opinion on the Inter we face tonight compared with the one that won the CL last year under Mourinho? I don't follow the Serie A and was wondering about the impact Benitez has had since becoming manager?

    [Update 44] ROBinBKK re : Micah Richards

    If true then it would continue a policy of buying defenders that are versatile to a number of roles, this maybe in reaction to Ledley's dodgy joints and Woody's back.

    [Update 340] jurgenthegerman re: KPB

    Get him to be palacios's shadow in training and we may have the much needed back up to him. I hope its true thats he's training hard-the cocky attitude he has could be perfect for a cm/dm if focused right!

    Team for Shaktar?

    I like that formation but I would swap Taraabt and O'Hara. I just think that O'Hara would be more industrious allowing the wide players and the front two to nake the chances.

    Team vs Arsenal

    Yep would agree. I don't think he can perform at top speed for the whole game so may as well use that pace when everybody else is slowing down!

    Team vs Arsenal

    I don't think both Lennon and Modric should start. Bring the one who is left out on as an impact sub. For example get Clichy working first half and bring Lennon on second to have a go when he's tired. We have plenty of players who can have a big impact if subbed in the second half. Apart from...

    Team v Bolton

    If he does play that it's not a bad mix of grit and creativity in the midfield (If Bentley plays like he can/should). I can see Modric floating in-field when we're on the attack or chasing it leading to a 433 type of formation. When we're defending or holding onto a lead he can drop back and...

    Roman Pavlyuchenko

    When you have something that looks like working, don't f**k it up. The Pav, Defoe, Modric and Lennon partnership, (in different combinations), looks dangerous. Buy some cover, but if you buy some like-for-like cover the rotation game will mess it up. What we need now is some consistency...

    Redknapp wants to build team around WP and Modric

    Lennon will play. There is no doubt about it, this season he has been very influential in unlocking defences. HR is not the sort of guy to think 'Zokora has been playing the best out of our defensive minded midfielders so he will play.' A Palacios - Modric midfield could be up there with the...

    Roman Pavlyuchenko

    What Pav gives us is movement. When we concede a goal our whole team stick to their positions too much and no-one wants to stand up. This guy will stand up in a moment of low confidence and say 'give me the ball.' OK he hasn't the touch of Berbs, but he has a bigger set of balls. Our home crowd...

    Spurs vs Stoke: Match thread

    Just got back. The first half was fantastic. Some of the interplay between Pav, Defoe, Modric and Lennon (in different combinations) was the some of the best I've seen all season. Gives me hope for the coming home games. I've never experienced a more stunned crowd when a team goes 3-0 up. Our...

    Official Team

    I think Harry must be putting a strong team out to get a goal in the first half on the counter attack. After that you can bring some of the big names off to rest. It is v. worrying for bent! Its not like he has been playing lots of games recently.

    64-67 pts is still very much on.

    Too true. I lost far too much money betting on Spurs last season. Scorelines are going to be difficult anyway, but with Spurs nigh-on impossible.

    4-2-3-1 - The modern formation. Is it for us?

    The differences mentioned above are interesting and I do find myself during the game trying to figure out how the shape has changed throughout the game, as Ramos loves to tinker with a change in formation. I think its essential this season to grind out some draws and 1-0 wins away from home...

    Falling out of love with football?

    I agree it does seem to be going that way. One other problem I have is the expectation of teams and supporters more nowadays. With nearly every team, if you have a slow start then managers face serious speculation about their jobs. Can sets of fans be happy with their team being mid-table while...

    Corluka And Pavlyuchenko - Cup Tied?

    If they are available after the group stages I think that will be fine. We have to get past Warsaw and then the top 3 teams from each group go through. We should be able to do that with our current squad minus Pav and Corluka. No sweat!

    Team vs Villa?

    --------------Gomes---------------- Corluka---King-----Woody----Bale --------------Zokora---------------- Bentley----Jenas---Modric----GDS --------------Bent------------------- Then bring Lennon on for GDS and Pav on for Bent just after half time. I'm happy with that. I think it is...

    Vedran Ćorluka (Transfer Confirmed)

    Everytime I read some ITK info I think he must be coming, most ITKs have constantly said for the last two weeks he is definately coming. Then everytime I see him play for City or hear Hughes' comments I change my mind. At least with Arshavin I believe that if we pay x amount more he would be our...
