Tottenham Hotspur ‏@SpursOfficial 6m
Here's our team - Lloris; Walker, Dawson, Vertonghen, Rose; Capoue, Paulinho; Townsend, Dembele, Chadli; Soldado. #THFC

And our subs - Erik Lamela is on the bench - Friedel, Naughton, Holtby, Lamela, Sandro, Sigurdsson, Defoe. #THFC #COYS

He's started most of our games so far if not all. No choice but to play him as Cazorla is our only fit option for the left at the moment.

Our first 11 looks more dangerous than Spurs but we have nothing on the bench to come on and make a difference.

Rosicky in the centre Cazorla on the left I reckon.

Plenty of British talent on the field today i see. Walker, Townsend and Rose for Spurs while Ramsey, Wilshere, Jenkinson, Walcott and Gibbs start for Arsenal.

Frimpong (although he declared for Ghana grew up in London), Naughton, Defoe amongst the subs from both sides

I'd be chuffed with a draw. I don't think we have the creativity at the moment (Eriksen should help to address this) to supply Soldado properly from open play though we should be good from set pieces. Our midfield is very strong defensively and hopefully Paulinho can bring that extra drive and goal threat.

2nd Row Donkey · 01-09-2013 3:48pm

'Story on kaboul? Not even on bench.

All this talk about arsenal been screwed if they get an injury at CB and it could be us who are fooked.

jamaamaj · 01-09-2013 3:51pm

Hoping for a Arsenal win here, bring spurs back down to earth and and send bale off on a lost

Turtyturd · 01-09-2013 3:56pm

Hopefully a Spurs win to put some tension back into the title race.

Nuri Sahin · 01-09-2013 3:58pm

Hopefully a draw, an entertaining one at that.

Lamela right, Paulinho central and Eriksen left is the plan for the future you reckon?

I hate Alan Smith doing commentary on Arsenal matches. He tries too hard to prove he isn't biased that he goes the opposite way and is Anti Arsenal.

Turtyturd · 01-09-2013 4:03pm

That was one for the cameras/

Not sure tbh, think it could be Lamela right, Townsend left and Eriksen central, with Paulinho, Dembele & Sandro fighting for the 2 CM spots. AVB is keen on players who can switch wings so I'd imagine the two wingers will be swapping quite a bit during games.

Quazzie · 01-09-2013 4:06pm

Close twice form Cazorla. Very cheeky second time.

SuprSi · 01-09-2013 4:11pm

Chadli has been pretty good so far

tayto lover · 01-09-2013 4:12pm

Jenkinson is being rode by Chadli so far. Needs to stay tighter.

SuprSi · 01-09-2013 4:12pm

Great play from Spurs, Soldado with a great chance blocked

Cazorla is wasted on the wing

Richard Hillman · 01-09-2013 4:20pm

As a watchable sports brand, watching Spurs is not the same without Bale. He is a big loss to the league. I can't see myself going out of my way to watch spurs games this season.
