Spurs v Fulham

SuprSi

So our European adventures are over for this week, after a less than awe-inspiring performance last night against Inter. Some players IMO should really hang their heads in shame, most notably Defoe and although he got his goal, Adebayor. Parker as well was very poor and we just about survived. Questions should be asked of the formation too.

Anyway, a massive game this Sunday. I know they're all massive, but this is important for so many things other than just the result. We've now lost 2 games in a row, something that hasn't happened in some time. We'll be playing after Arsenal play Swansea away and at around 4pm on Sunday will be somewhere between 7 and 10 points clear, though them with a game in hand. Chelsea have an easier game so I'd expect them to win there.

Strongest team out there;

---

Lloris

---

- Walker - Dawson - Verts - BAE -

---

Parker - Dembele

---

Lennon

---

Siggy

---

Bale

---

---

Ade

---

I'd play Ade as he is more capable of bringing the play out wide, leaving more space for Bale. The big question is whether the lads will be fatigued after 120 minutes of football last night. I hope not, and I really hope that regardless of what happens in Swansea that we beat them soundly.

Is it not 3pm kick off ?

Fulham are like Wigan, you never know what team will turn up. Keep Berbatov quite for the day and pick up a welcome 3 points. Defoe has a good record against them too.

You're right Hatch, it's at 3pm. Can you adjust the thread title?

Hopefully fulham leave their brains in harrods and don't turn up.
Should have 5/6 fresh legs to come into the team in. Lloris, dawson, bae, bale, lennon & maybe Holtby.
Id start holtby to rest siggy a bit. Then again dempsey could be back. Just hope the midfield engine is not too tired

Praying they win Sunday... Do not want my girlfriend to see them play **** live and lose as I begin my steady trek of converting her from a Man Utd fan to a Spurs fan....

Still debating whether to buy a Vertonghen or Dembele or Sandro jersey...

Something that irritated the **** out of me at the Inter Milan match last week was the fact the only pre-pressed jerseys were Bale 11. Does the Spurs Shop actually know there's more players at the club than just Bale??

If I'd pick anyone it'd be big Jan Vertonghen but if it's on the home jersey I wouldn't bother names don't look great on the back since the cockerel is embedded on the back it just goes over half of it!

I swear to god I hope I don't have to watch Defoe acting the B****x on the pitch for another 90 minutes,I forecast a 2-0 win for us,it we don't win it's time to start worrying.

Massive game. Delighted we are at home and have 2-3 fresh players returning.

A comfortable win and we plough on towards a top 4 finish, a lose or draw is a catastrophy in my book.

jobeenfitz

Spurs will win. Cant see it being comfortable though. Its not the Spurs way.

Emoran

Early start here in Dublin airport,

Happy snake wacking day lads

Such an important game. Win this one and were back on track a massive mental boost.
Loose at home to a team with fulhams derby record and we can kiss cl qualification goodbye. Thats how important i think it is.
Neither striker inspiring confidence at the minute, i'm just glad bale's available and dembele's showing good form.
Fulham to be leading 1-0 at half time and spurs to get two after the break. Spurs go on a winning run for the remainder of the season and finish 2nd. Arsenal and liverfool fail to qualify for the europa league. Job done.

This is the team from Spurs Official I see we have finally found a solution to our winger issue! BAE!!!
Lloris;
Naughton, Caulker, Dawson, Vertonghen;
Sigurdsson, Dembele, Parker, Assou-Ekotto;
Adebayor, Bale.

3 at the back maybe? wing backs? Is a strange selection, is worrying to see no sign of Lennon even on bench.

Walker getting a well deserved 'rest'

That is a strange formation, but Bale will be roaming.

Must be 3-5-2 by the looks of it.

This game on TV?

2nd Row Donkey

Were the hell is Lennon. Disaster.

Now is not the time for trying 3 at the back.

Today's result determines our season, end of. COYS.

Same ol shíte, Dembele staying back and Parker going forward to give the ball away

Devo from Dublin

Jesus, this is dour.

well, 0-0 has being a familiar ht score....
COYS.

tippspur

Not looking good for Bale,limping off the field at HT.

PogMoThoin

Hope Bale is OK

JaimeLannister

A pretty dismal first half. Surely Holtby is a better option on the left than BAE, he's been very frustrating to watch!

PogMoThoin

Wtf, Dempsey for Dawson?

2nd Row Donkey

Uninspiring stuff so far. Game needs someone to take it by the scruff of the neck. Dembele or dempsey please step forward.
