So do we have a Spine?

[NICKS BACK]

I found this one a difficult question to answer, but all the top teams have had one or had one.

Think Liverpool Riera carragher Gerrard Torres.
Think Chelsea Cech Terry Lampard Drogba
Even United Van der Sar Ferdinand Fletcher Rooney

Closest i can get to one is Given Toure Viera Tevez, which makes me think Viera will be more influential than we think and likely to play more than we think also.

Think players unlikely to be rotated.

 

[es1]

you cant count vieira as he's never played for us!

insert dejong in his place and i'll agree!

Given
Kompany
DeJong
Ireland
Adebayor/Tevez


looks fine to me.

Speaking of Viera, is he going to be fit to play some part V Scunny? And is Ade back now?

Should be in theory a nice easy game to ease him in on, bit of real time practice for the real game this week.

By the way lads and ladies a spine is normally only 4 players. Goal defence mid-field and striker.

1st picks on the team sheet and the leaders.

Would have been nice to mention Barry amongst that company but he aint there yet.
Thanks for pm Pam

IIRC Mancini said Ade will be back in the country around Monday.

Having never been lying on the floor of a bus for 20 odd minutes while a group of deranged terrorists unload sub machines at said bus. I have absolutely no idea if he will be mentally ready.

If the lad himself feels he is OK he may get a place on the bench at the swamp. Just incase.

Thats the one.

Better than the Rags, Arsenal and Liverpool.

And you listen to the abuse the rags will give him over this incident. Sick bastards.

Haven't you read the 'Ade, get your arse back here' thread or whatever is was called? Apparently he should have been back here playing in the derby on Tuesday because Lampard's mum died 2 minutes before a Chelsea match and he still played.
