Tottenham Pre Match Thread

Pretty much down to the bare bones now. I'd go for the following:

Hart
Zabaleta
Sagna (or Kompany if available)
Otamendi
Clichy
Fernando
Delph
Fernandinho
Sterling
Iheanacho
Aguero

Yaya gets the black spot from you then, don't think Manuel will be deflected from his familiar path though, Iheanacho on after an hour for Delph I reckon (unless we're winning)

 

[mosssideblue]

Hart
Zaba Sagna Ota Angelino
Fernando Delph
Sterling Dinho Celina
Aguero

Angelino and celina deserve a shot. Demi and kolarov shouldnt play.

Gen question, why do you suggest they deserve a shot

I'd agree. On paper, that is still a formidable line up

Why are we so afraid to give youth a chance just the shot in the arm we nd atm!

4-4-2 for me

hart

sagna
demi
ota
clichy

fernando
dininho
cellina
delph

aguero
sterling

spurs don't really have much pace up top so demi and ota should be ok! Sterling and sergio running in behind delph and cellina on the wings throwing balls in the box! Well thats what I would do but we all know the clueless man will go

hart

sagna
demi
ota
clichy

diniho
yaya
delph

aguero

I'd prefer the 2nd team to be honest. We might at least have a chance of scoring/creating something. I just can't see us getting the ball to Aguero with that first team.

Because angelino has flourished since coming back into the eds, looks lkke he has got a lot stronger and more mature. Clichy as much as i love him has been v poor and always loses concentration. Plus trippier i would say is their weak spot. Celina is ready, his cameo showed that. He looked completely comfortable on the ball and made a beautiful assist for kun. Plus we are down to bare bones.

Really think your underestimating the jobs fernando and fernandiniho can do for the team! Fernado is a very good disciplined holding midfielder and fernandiniho is a fantastic box to box midfielder! Cellina looks like he can pass and keep a ball and delph will give us fantastic energy up and down the wing! It would also mean we play with 11 players who don't mind putting a shift in!

Just not sure this is the right game for either.

When will MP realise Delph is not a left winger?
