Hey Guys I know it's early but I'm already anticipating a great game and I'm hoping we get off to a great start I'm also wondering how are we going to line up?

Gomes
Kaboul--Dawson--King--BAE
Gio---Huddlestone--Modric--Bale

Keane--Crouch/Pav

I went for Gio on the right because Lennon has a strain and might not be back and Defoe is the same I reckon hee'll start crouch as Harry loves he guy and Palacios didn't impress against Fiorentina so I'm hoping Modric will act as our second Midfielder I think it's a pretty nice line up

SuprSi · 08-08-2010 5:59pm

That's a very attacking line-up - I like it! I hope Keane starts as he deserves a chance considering his pre-season form. Him and Pav would be my ideal front pair. Our defence is really going to have to buck up because City will be very fired up for this one.

Gio has really impressed me with his tracking back and Modric showed last season he can play cm now I think it'd be great

keane most likely wont be at spurs by the start of the season .

gomes

corluka --- dawson ---- bassong ---- bale

lennon ---- hudd

wilson

modric

crouch --- defoe

WHL · 09-08-2010 9:52am

With Defoe doubtful and the form that Keane is in, I would hold him at least until Defoe is fit and well. Gio is worth a start instead of Lennon as well

my post looks foolish now, apparently he is staying now. we wont know anything until season kicks off and prob 1st sept

mickman · 10-08-2010 4:51pm

will gio start on sat?

SuprSi · 10-08-2010 5:22pm

I hope so. He's been in great form and if he's to show us what he's capable of there's no better chance than this.

mickman · 10-08-2010 5:23pm

with his luck he will prob get injured in tomorrow nights international

Doubt it . He's far to light for the PL. Probably worth a fortune to sell to the Spanish or to Italy but I dont think he'll ever cut it in England. Shame because there's no doubt about the talent.

As regards my line up - this is what I'd like to see

Gomes

Cor

Dawson ---Bass

Bale

Lennon ----Wilson ---Thud ---Modric

Young

Defoe

Bench : Cud, King , Kranj , Sandro, Bellamy , Keane , Crouchy.

daveman16 · 10-08-2010 10:49pm

Don't get me wrong I am a big fan of Gio but I think we need Palacios on Saturday. We need a hard tackling ball winner against Man City's creative mid field. He might not have impressed in his last game, but he has on countless other occasions.

Stedub · 11-08-2010 8:37pm

i would be worried about boetang getting at cor... so how about

Gomes

Dawson ---King

BAE

Far too light for the PL???? I seem to remember people saying that about modric, now he's almost 1st on the team sheet

Gomes
Corluka
King
Dawson
Bale
Lennon
Pal
Hudd
Luka
Robbie/Defoe
Crouch

I can't see it changing much more then that, I'd love to see to see robbie prove everyone wrong and come out swinging for the fence and grab a couple.

Great to see it back.

Mosiki · 12-08-2010 2:08pm

Think Kaboul might play a larger part this season. Obv, they need to use the squad more selectively with champions league on the horizon (fingers crossed).

Unlikely I would say.

Saturday will be warm and wet chaps:

BBC have Bale in but Pav out for the Match meaning Crouch will start although I'd love to see a top two of Gio and Keane

mickman · 13-08-2010 3:48pm

why not defoe?

Given not playing for City :eek: God I hope that backfires on city

Big Pussy Bonpensiero · 14-08-2010 12:38pm

Very defensive formation by Mancini - 3 holding midfielders! Perhaps he's trying to pull off a José Mourinho and hit us on the counter-attack. I presume he's playing a 4-3-3...

Did you find a stream?

T-b0n3 · 14-08-2010 1:37pm

Spurs are playing amazing. Bale should probably have a goal and an assist already. What a player. The work rate all around has been great too, Defoe and Crouch even getting back and working hard.

Great display. We defo deserve to be winning though.

Unfortunately not.

Hart is playing out of his skin to keep the ball out. We are looking twice the team though. Looks like some atmosphere inside the Lane. Hopefully once we get one in, they'll be completely opened up. They don't deserve anything judging by their first half.

Absolutely cracking efforts from Hudd, BAE and Defoe.
