Tottenham Vs Stoke: Match Thread

[kdspur]

stoke coming for a draw and personally i can see them getting it but we need a win , any kind of a win and a win bad. coys

Subs - Cudicini, Nelsen, Rose, Giovani, Livermore, Sandro, Defoe.

 

[Blake Griffin]

good team. harry seemingly back on the 4411 wagon.

no gallas and ade worries me going into saturday but other than that it's all good.

Well if we are to play 4411 then this is the team I'd have picked so fairly happy with this although it remains to be seen whether Ledley can manage tonight and Saturday but here's hoping.

Personally would have preferred 433 with Sandro for Kranjcar but even so, we should be more than capable of tackling Stoke at home at walking away with a victory - just have to be on our game at set pieces and up to the physicality of what Stoke brings.

COYS!

Is that a 4-2-3-1 then kinda like

Friedel
Walker King Kaboul Ekotto
Parker Modric
Kranjcar VDV Bale
Saha​

 

[mpickard2087]

The team that I wanted to see (Ade if fit in for Saha), so no complaints. Hopefully we get the ball down and outclass them.

Where is Gallas? If King doesnt make it for Saturday we are scarily short of centrebacks.

 

[jonathanhotspur]

What's wrong with Gallas?

 

[degoose]

pretty good team and saha can play up front by himself as he did it loads for everton.

 

[minimike]

Gallas' mind probably isn't right since saturday maybe?

 

[jimbo]

(Van Persie sent off and suspended for rest of season for kicking Everton fan in the face after he shouted 'it's an early bath for you Van Persie')

That's an Everton fan with an Oxford education is it?

 

[jonathanhotspur]

Our bench is a bit anaemic looking, isn't it?

 

[agrdavidsfan]

5-1 saha x2 bale x 1 kranjcar x 1 and kaboul x 1

 

[Tafspur]

4 home wins would be good tonight!

 

[mpickard2087]

5-1 saha x2 bale x 1 kranjcar x 1 and kaboul x 1

Facccck you have predicted us to win tonight mg:

Thinking about it Gallas isn't good against stoke-like teams

 

[kdspur]

just seen stoke team. they fancy it - 3 forwards in jerome, walters and crouch!! im hoping we overrun them now in midfield.

 

[bubble07]

Team I wanted even if Adebayor was fit. Not only do we need a in we need the scum and or the Chavs to drop points. Must gain on at least 1 side tonight. It's got to the stage if all 3 of us win it won't be a good day. Huuuuge tonight

Yea. Newcastle came here thinking they could play and we tore them apart, they realised their mistake as they then solidified themselves away to Arsenal soon after.

Here's hoping Stoke make a similar mistake.

 

[Gbspurs]

This was the team 90% of the site wanted to see so hopefully performs. For the record im very happy with this lineup

Cheeky. They deserve the same as Newcastle got for trying this. Pulis obviously thinks they have nothing to lose in trusting inspiration from the land of the midnight brain. The question that lineup begs to my tactically ignorant mind is: Where are their 37% of headed goals going to come from without their wingers?
