saf said he'll be playing the same team that got beaten by besiktas so unless there is injuries the above team should play tonight

redout

cant see the kids beating Spurs if they play to their potential (spurs that is)

Paul Tergat

If spurs play their first team I think they will beat us

That_Guy

2-1 United for me.

That scoreline may change when I see Spurs' lineup.

Necronomicon

I may be wrong, but I think people took Fergie's words too literally at his press conference. My reading of it was that they (young players) will play again, not necessarily the exact XI.

Again, could be wrong on that, and maybe he'll want them to have the chance to prove themselves again as a unit.

Yeah, i was thinking the same. No chance of rafael at left back again.

1 - 1

I also wouldn't be surprised to see Kuzak (whatever way you spell his name) in goal ahead of Foster.

just call him the pig


edit

heres the quote from saf about the team that will play spurs

“It will be the same players that played on Wednesday,” he said of his team for Tuesday’s visit of Harry Redknapp’s side. “Their future is well marked out, I think.”

It's certainly shorter and contains less z's and x's than the real name.

Kuszcsak.

Break it down, Kus, zc, sak. Makes it easier to remember.

Is this tonight or tomorrow?

RasTa

Spurs will beat our kids if they play their first 11.

Johner

Spurs to win 3-1 if they play there full team.

Very boring OP. Where's all the fancy club logos and the line ups for both teams and what channels are showing the match. And no opinions either. For shame.

4 out of 10 for effort.

Ah it's only the Carling Cup...........

CR 7

Is this a two legged affair? Too lazy to remember last year.

Mitch Connor

will be a very tough game for the young lads tonight. Redknap said he would rotate the Spurs team, as the league is the priority.

However, he has said the same previously before similar games and put out a strong first 11.

EDIT: Single game, only the Semi-Final is two legged. No replay either, penalties if required tonight.

what channel??

8.00 KO on SkySports 1.

Our line up should be
Gomes
Hutton
Dawson
Bassong
Assou-Ekotto
Bently
Jenas
hudd/Palacios
Bale
Keane
Defoe/Crouch/Pav

I think we'll beat them with the kids. I hope Gibson plays well. It's getting to the make or break stage for him now.

Shaneomac

Does anyone know the squad? Think Berbatov should get a run out and Vidic should be given a rest for Evans if hes fit

See first post :P

I'm gonna say Spurs as Man Utd won't put a strong side out.

Nemanja91

I am hoping spurs will field a weak enough squad as they are still in a strong position in the league and may feel they could advance in the league to possible champions league

Dave!

'Arry said he'd be playing the fringe players today. I guess that means the likes of Bentley, Pavlyuchenko, etc.

I hope Berba gets a start tonight actually. Neither team has this as their main priority, so I wouldn't expect it to be too physical, shouldn't be any risk in bringing him back.

Also I hope Nani features. The gauntlet has been laid down for him by Fergie. It's sh*t or walk time.

Necronomicon

I'd love to see Owen and Berbatov start of front, maybe with Wellbeck out right with Valencia rested.

Drumpot

Said to a spurs friend of mine that Im looking forward to tonights "friendly" . .

He didnt take too kindly to it at all ! ! !

He might start the team that played in CL last week . . Give them a chance to proove the papers wrong ! !

Spud83

Worst start to a thread ever. Had to read to the second page to find the KO time. For shame Headshot.

wouldn't mind seeing that team i'd like to see owen get a start, with berbatov and can put wellbeck on the wing.. I'm hoping nani will start as well if he doesn't get a game tonight he's gone imo..

Pighead

Terrible first post alright. No preview, no current form stats and no little cutesy pictutres of the team jerseys. It's actually put me off watching this game now. Thanks Headshot.

I hope this is the team he puts out as this is the team that everyone who backed Spurs to win tonight is hoping for. It is a very average team - getting beaten at home by Besiktas last week proved that. Spurs are bound to make 4 or 5 changes but they would still be better than the above with the likes of Jenas, Keane, Bentley coming in.

eclectichoney

PIG
Nev Brown Vidic De Laet
Obertan Ando Gibson Park
Berba Welbeck


bench: Owen Giggs Tosic Carrick Fletch Kiko Amos

eclectichoney

Happy with that team tbh. Glad PIG got the nod as he did very well on Saturday, and hoping De laet has a good game - I think he could be a great little squad player for us.

Dave!

Nani not on bench :eek: And Tosic is :eek:

uh oh

Somewhere, Headshot is now sporting a large small erection

Smegball

Berba :pac:

I think berba and wellbeck will work alot better than macheda and wellbeck.

Park on there to get fitness I'd say.

Dissappointed Rafa isn't starting.

eclectichoney

The bench does look a bit weak defensively alright :eek: I suppose Fletch could do RB and De Laet / Nev CB if needed.
