Hope Terry doesn't make it. He always seems to play well against us and wins everything in air.
I certainly wouldn't be dissappointed by that Bubble, it still balances us nicely.
Just a question mark over his fitness? Maybe...
I'd bring in Pienaar for Lennon personally. Mata v Walker is a concern for me and Pienaar can help out defensively when we dont have the ball but also, when we do have the ball, he naturally moves inside to give Walker the space to bomb on. Its what he did for Baines at Everton for years !

That's because he has only come up against Crouch, the weakest man in football, Pav, the 2nd weakest man in football and Defoe/Keane, midgets.
I think Adebayor might give him a better challenge.
:lol:
But seriously, he's been there forever, he's played against bundles more than those - Apart from the sending off, I always recall him playing well despite always thinking he's overrated. Also, I have to say, Ade hasn't particularly impressed in the air this season. Don't get me wrong, he's been a major factor in our awesomeness but I thought he'd be stronger in the air than he has been. Hopefully he'll show it Thursday, maybe along with a sly elbow in a Terry's face.
Terry was mom last year at the Lane.
If bale and king are fit, I'd be tempted to play this team:
------------------------Friedel-------------------------
Kaboul---------Ledley----------Gallas---------------BAE
Walker---------Modric----------Parker--------------Bale
----------------------VDV------------------------------
---------------------------Adebayor--------------------
I think we need to play with pace on both wings.
We weren't actually that good on the night!
