Europa League Thread

irishmover

Really hoping to see a very strong side tomorrow... Don't want to be sat at the game watching Huddlestone the one time I finally am capable of getting over to a match..

If Huddlestone starts I'm gonna have to consider going to the Fulham match next week! Don't fly back to Oz until March 21st...

Anyone else going over by the way?

I'd play livermore instead of parker tomorrow night. Parker was banjoed after an hour last Sunday, and we won't get 2 quality 90 minutes out of him tomorrow night and at Anfield, play livermore and let dembele bomb on.

Spot on.

Will be interesting to see the line up. I fear AVB prioritising the Europa League too much. It's nice to be in it and nice to be playing Inter, but the league is so much more important.

dont think livermore is up to that standard, why not give vertonghen a run there, he has played that role for Ajax

Livermore is very ordinary but he is conservative and doesn't usually give too much away.

Playing Verts there would be experimental.

I'd like to see Carroll get a start but its unlikely.

actually carroll would be a good call and avb not afraid to throw them in at the deep end,
livermore is not at the standard we want to be at, same for huddlestone, i had said the same about dawson but I am glad to say he has proven me wrong

wonder will inter play for the draw

I'd play Carroll too.

We have a few options now that Siggy is finding a bit of form and Holtby is an option.

Inter have five or six players out injured. Manager says his main priority is to get Inter into third place inda league. He has brought in six youth players to his squad for this game. Read this story on sky sports site.

Great a bunch of kids looking to prove their worth.... Still gonna be tough!

Would have been nice to witness their best 11 but cant have it every way..

Be great if we can put it to bed tomorrow if they are that short of options.

ye a good win regardless of the opposition keeps the confidence high going into the pool game. With Skyrtel still out injured it all adds up. A draw at anfield keeps the momentum going and you can never rule out a win there either. I'm not getn carried away here but it is a really good time to be a Spurs fan after all the lean years.

Can't understand all the Livermore bashing on here. I know he's no world beater, but he has never let us down, and would easily do a job in front of the back four tonight.

Hatch99, you and I have disagreed about Livermore before but I wholeheartedly agree with you on this one. Livermore has showed enough in his substitute appearances under AVB to warrant a start tonight against an under strength Inter Milan team. God knows Parker needs a rest and I am all for giving youth a chance! The reason I've been down on Livermore in the past is because as a 1st team player he doesn't offer enough...yet. Nights like this he gets his chance and I hope he takes it.

The Nerazzurri are without defenders Matfas Silvestre and Yuto Nagatomo, while serious doubts remain over the fitness of international centre-backs Andrea Ranocchia and Walter Samuel.

As mentioned previously they have brought 5 or 6 of their youth team over. At the risk of seeming over confident I reckon we could exploit their injury crisis given our current form.

Like I said mate, he's no world beater, but he is more than capable of doing a good job for us when needed. His game is not about attcking or setting things up, it's about breaking up play and protecting the back 4, hopefully he gets his chance tonight.

fcuk but i miss going to the lane:(, used to go every sat when i lived in london, its been 6 years now, cant wait till young lad gets older and will take him

whats the name of the pub behind the ground (off park lane) great spot pre match, is rudloffs (spelling) still on the go,

any one ever been to the all night den on the high road called cheraz

everdead.ie

Love to keep a clean sheet tonight 2-0 would be perfect, no going out on away goals but then a goal in Italy would mean they would need to score three.

Not sure if I'm more excited about the game or that Ryanair offered me extra leg room

It's tough being 5 foot nothing let alone 6 foot 4 on a Ryanair flight!

I just cant stomach flying with them. When you take into account the train you need after ryanair then its only a little dearer to land into heatrow with aer lingus.

He's had to nobody seems to be in the box anymore for his crosses and he's normally double marked on he wings now making it tougher to get those runs in.

PS this is the best

Bale yet again

SuprSi

Get in Mr. Bale! What a cross from Gylfi too - looks like he's starting to hit a bit of form. Great timing if true!! 1 up.
