I think this would be a great game to bring Kaboul back into the fold. Daws has played an awful lot of minutes lately. Walker - Kabs - Chirices - Fryers (Naughton) would be my preferred back four.

I'd like to see AVB experiment a bit with the attacking midfielders as well. I really think Lennon - Lamela - Townsend could work.

if we play Naughton instead of Fryers, who is a left back, I've got to ask why on earth we ever bought him.
With our other left backs out against the bottom club surely Fryers has to play.

It is tight call. Both lads a poor at best. But they do give their best.

not enough ball retention with those three for me - maybe next season

I have a good feeling about today. It feels like we are turning a corner and as has been confirmed all week. The players are right behind AVB. Can't see us losing this. Still not sure I will bother coming in here during the match though? Hope it's more positive than Wednesday night.

I agree about the defence and this is the three behind Soldado I really want to see, but I reckon Holtby might be given another go.
Ideally we need Dembele and Sandro in midfield with Holtby coming on second half imo and give Lamela a full game.

Holtby can't be considered for just the goal he scored as he was otherwise poor.

Midfield of Lennon, Dembele, Capoue, Sandro and Lamela

AVB on Lamela
"At the moment on the right is not going well for him so he shifted back to the left and I think that will come good."

With this in mind I wouldn't mind seeing Lamela - Dembele - Townsend today. Freshens it up and Lennon and Paulinho need a rest

players will get a rest midweek when (hopefully) the youngsters get a run out.

Hope Paulinho gets a rest today. He's been looking tired and poor in the last games, and I really want to see Capoue playing. Or Holtby.

*#*#*#*# Spurs Community RULES #*#*#*#*

Swearing

This site does not condone swearing for swearings sake just as in most situations in life. Swearing does not contribute greatly to a conversation and is not encouraged on this site.

Just because a word is not on the automatic censor list does not mean that it's allowable. Furthermore, anyone found to be deliberately evading the censor list will receive an automatic 24 hour ban. The censor is set up specifically to remove use of the C word. If you feel the need to use this word replace it with ****. Any attempt at getting around this will result in a ban.

We take particular note of members who persistently use swearing in their posts and any such member will receive a formal warning as a result. Using swearwords in topic titles is not permitted under any circumstances.

Member Abuse

Spurs Community holds personal abuse aimed at other members or group of members as a serious lack of respect and as such anyone found guilty of abuse will receive a formal warning as a result and a 24 hour (or longer) ban if staff believe the offence warrants it.

Chris added this to the OP for a reason.

So that people know, we're going to be all over this like Mrs A&C's arse on a toilet seat today.

We'll also be looking at wumming, trolling and anything else like that too. Enjoy the game and be nice......'kay 'kwitz?

I really like to see Carpool tried at LB. He cannot be any worse than Naughton. At least he is stronger and more athletic.
