[kaz Hirai]

oh im unsure of playing 4-4-2 in the champions league. but we will see

 

[jushin3]

Has Niko even played in a Champion's League match? Hope he can see some time on the left if we're up a couple.

 

[CliffJones]

I'm happy with 442, but we must start playing from minute 1, not minute 46.

 

[gibbs131]

That is a slow team.

I think HR thinks we can walk this one. The only thing that worries me is while this team shits on the Germans for skill, ze Germans will be fitter. We may struggle physically with this lineup.

I just hope we get an early lead. Because we could creak in the last 20 mins.

Bench will be important IMO.

 

[trifon]

Run&gun then it is, I guess. Hope it works.

A slow team? Are you fucking laughing?! All four midfielders, especially our wingers, have pace. Our full-backs are both capable of running on the overlap, and Kaboul is a pretty speedy CB. Only area we're slow is up front.

You ate those mushrooms again?

Yes, playing 4-4-2 with Hutton, Lennon and Bale is slow...

Shall we bring in those well known speed demons Kranjcar and Bentley on the wings instead? That will speed things up

 

[dvdhopeful]

Hutton, Lennon, Bale and Jenas aren't slow Gibbs131.You can stick Benny and Younes in that too. I've also read that Gomes runs a mean 100m too.

Looks good to me, come on Spurs lets wrap this up tonight.

 

[whitelightwhiteheat]

Shame no VDV but hopefully he'll be fit to shove one up Liverpool Sunday.

Comfortable with the 4-4-2 formation we have in place.

 

[hughy]

Anywho, I didn't get to watch the game in Germany because I was on holiday in Sicily at the time. It'll be interesting to see what Werder are made of. Must win game for them if they stand any chance of qualification, so it wont be easy.

 

[TwoSaintsComeMarching]

God we need to be more solid than that. Let's hope Werder are shit...

How is a team containing Jenas Lennon Bale Hutton slow? The only quick player missing is Defoe and he's on the bench.

Its infact probably one of the fastest sides we could put out....BAE and Kaboul aint no slouches either. The only way we could make it any quicker is by playing GDS and defoe up top.
