Well another game is another a few days away so how does everyone think we should line up for Reading? I am not too fussed Bale is missing tbh as he needs a rest sometimes and at home to Reading is just about the perfect game for it.

For me:

Lloris
Naughton
Caulker
Dawson
Vertonghen
Lennon
Parker
Dembele
Townsend
Dempsey
Adebayor

Subs - Friedel, Walker, Huddlestone, Carroll, Sigurdsson, Defoe, Sandro

I agree with this completely, although we'll probably see Siggy start in place of Townsend.

Maybe wrong thread but when is BAE due back?
Wud luv 2 c him against Reading.
Is it true that he don't get on with AVB or just rumours?

I'm hoping that Thor, Townsend and Parker all start.

never by the look of it, there were pictures of him in full training nearly a month ago, and no news about him having a set back.

I'd like to see:

Lloris​
Naughton Dawson Caulker Verts​
Lennon Parker Dembele Dempsey​
Siggy​
Adebayor​
Dempsey, Siggy and Parker all deserve a game for how they've performed recently, Naughton also deserves to continue and it would be good to give Walker a break. Resting Sandro now would be good for later in the season, i'd very much hope that AVB uses this game and the FA cup to give him an extended break, maybe even reward him by letting have a holiday, I don't know how these things work though.​
We shouldn't have any complacency going into the Reading game because Reading do put lots of effort in and ran Manchester City close only a week ago but I this team should be enough to win​

He was even ice skating the other evening - posted it on his twitter. You don't ice skate with a knee injury.

If you're not a primitive target-striker it must be a nightmare to play with Defoe;
it's not a coincidence that Ade looks a lot better when someone with more of a footballbrain as a partner - and more often than not we're looking a lot better as a team as well.

Defoe is a great first-choice-striker for a bottomhalf team, but to progress and deliver more stability in our performaces we need better.
An in-fom and motivated Ade fits that, but there are issues regarding his motivation and performancres as well - so a new striker would be very welcomed.

Essentially a 4-2-3-1, but looks more attacking like that :ROFLMAO:
Dempsey has looked very good recently.​

Would like to see Falque and Carroll in particular get a chance to prove themselves so maybe switch Falque for Dempsey and Carroll for Dembele and possibly Townsend for Lennon after about 70 minutes maybe before if we're 3 up.​

What's with all the Ade love? He hasn't given two fucks about playing for us lately! If it's to give Defoe a rest, then fair enough.

In case you were under a rock and have missed the biggest talking point of the day, Bale is suspended
