Stevenage v Tottenham: Match Thread

[clarryboy]

Hasn't Dawkins gone to San Jose Earthquakes?

 

[Hot-Spur]

I thought Bale might have been rested, and where the heck is Sandro these days?

 

[kdspur]

What a weird team!

whats so weird and odd about it ... kaboul right back walker right mid, everyone else in right positions.. looks sound to me

 

[hughy]

Simon Dawkins... The fuck?! Why not Lancaster?

 

[Ron Burgundy]

Could it be a 3-5-2?

------ Kaboul - Daws - Nelsen
Walker ---------------------- Rose
---------- Parker -- Livermore
--------------- Bale
----------- Saha ---- Defoe

 

[boxbat]

Very strange team. Surprised to see King and Lennon on the bench, for different reasons.

Guessing we'll go 3-5-2 ala Stoke 2nd half.

Cudicini
Kaboul Dawson Nelsen
Walker Rose
Livermore Parker
Bale
Defoe Saha

Or maybe more 3-4-1-2...

How do you know that's what it's gonna be though?

That's what I think it'll be

I'm sure you're right. Just slightly worried about YK's knee if he has to gallop up the wing!

 

[L-man]

Spurs facebook page says its 3 at the back, very strange. why on earth put King on the bench

[Keano]

Walker Daws Kaboul Nelsen
Rose Jake Scotty Bale
JD Saha

 

[kishman]

What the deuce! Are we playing 3-5-2??

 

[Mr Pink]

Weird...are Modric and Adebayor being rested completely?

 

[felmani26]

Could it be a 3-5-2?

------ Kaboul - Daws - Nelsen
Walker ---------------------- Rose
---------- Parker -- Livermore
--------------- Bale
----------- Saha ---- Defoe

That looks the most plausible but even so, I certainly didn't expect that lineup!

You know it's Defoe starting instead of Ade?

 

[minimike]

I would have rested Bale and Parker, started Lennon and Kranjcar and not have King on the bench!

 

[L-man]

Does anyone think it may be Rose in CM and Bale at LWB. I seem to remember an interview with Rose where he said about competition being difficult because the likes of Huddlestone and Modric were in front of him. I'll try and find it

 

[CosmicHotspur]

For those who missed it:

Cudicini; Walker; Dawson; Kaboul; Nelsen; Rose; Livermore; Parker; Bale; Defoe; Saha. SUBS: Friedel; Lennon; Kranjcar; King; Khumalo; Dawkins; Luongo.

I thought Dawkins had gone back to the States on loan to the Earthquakes again ... :shrug:

 

[Ron Burgundy]

I would have rested Bale and Parker, started Lennon and Kranjcar and not have King on the bench!

I agree with all that
