Is Livermore a member on here then? Eek

Either that, or someone pretending to be. ever seemed to be taken in though...

... and I assume the mods would verify someone claiming to be a Spurs player somehow.

If it is Livermore, I'm rather disappointed. Although it's footballing ability that counts, I'd just rather our players weren't utter cocknuggets.

BAE hasn't played well of late in his preferred role as a left back, why on earth would he fair any better at CB and would probably be a liability. Bale is a decent height and seems good in the air has pace and would possibly be a better bet alongside bassong, should(god forbid) we be in such a mess. I hope we never even have to consider either of them at CB for such an important game.

Or ever (being a mod, and looking at his friends list its all mods/admins) was part of it and was just adding fuel to the fire :wink:

Ekotto at CB. Im not a fan of putting square pegs in round holes.

And frankly with Ekotto playing not too well at the moment, it would be suicide.

i have a feeling king will be back by then, he could quite comfortably see out 90 mins against that clown team

Easy...

Gomes

Corluka - Daws - King - Bale

Lennon - Hudd - Palacios - Modric

Pav - Defoe


Am I being a tad optimistic? :-|​

I have a hunch that a few players will start coming back from injury now. It's do or die time.

I think if players were nearing ready, they would have been pushed for the game against Sunderland. That was a must-win as far as I'm concerned.

If it is him, he's the one who started that thread off title 'hello boys' :lol:

I'm hoping that Corluka and Daws will be back. If not then I think we're looking at:

Assou-Ekotto Dervite Bassong Bale

You'd hope that would be enough to see off Portsmouth but I'd be nervous as hell seeing that back four come out.​

It looks like noises are being made suggesting Lennon will be on the bench for the game.

Defence? Hopefully Daws and Corluka will be back to make a back four of:

Corluka Daws Bassong Bale

I really hope so.

I think I'd be happier to see Lennon on the bench on Sunday than starting. Bring him on for 20 minutes at the end if we're in need of the win still. I'd be happier if he was 100% for the Arsenal game.

Was thinking exactly that, but, still maybe not fit enough to start against Arsenal even if he does get a little run out. I think we should start Bentley/Kranjcar for the Derby, then Lennon on maybe on the 60 minute mark or so if Bentley/Kranjcar aren't performing.

Surely Dawson will be fit for Sunday as he was almost fit for Sunderland wasn't he? We could probably go with Walker again if the rest of the back 4 looks top notch.

Same here, especially if portsmouth have that thug brown playing.

For me Ekotto looks like his head has gone

Would put Bale at LB and either Krankjaer or Modric at LM
