I am confident with that line up.

Very narrow and slow midfield that.

Looks like we are going to have to try and do our typical performance of trying to pass it into the net.

We really lack a good few world class 1v1 players, that really needs to be addressed in the summer.

Less flap please.

Decent side except i would've liked someone else for Lampard.

I like the chances of Aguero up against the 6"5 slow Fazio.

Wouldn't surprise me if Lamela had his first big game against Kolarov.

I am goin to do something novel. I am going to decide how good that team is,
AFTER they have played some football ;-)

Hart says "Hard work, desire and quality is what's required to beat Spurs today. " Sorry Joe but aren't these qualities required for every game.

Lampard. Did Pellers not watch the Villa game then?

We don't have pace in the side, Navas is the only one but Rose is fast himself and pretty good. Milner is a different option and will allow Zab to overlap more.

I'm interested to know if Nasri is injured or just out of favour still? Would have preferred Silva behind Kun personally.

I think it's an OK side and we should hopefully dominate the ball.

My only concern is that it looks too slow and laboured, Spurs have plenty of youth and pace that could press us intensely today which we don't deal that well with unless we are on really top form.
