Spurs V Stoke 29/12/13

tippspur

We can expect to be put through the wringer again in this game I suppose,Stoke are one of those teams whose style of football don't suit us so we will find it hard to break them down,I presume Whelan and Wilson are suspended for them and Walker is suspended for us,we have Paulinho back and maybe Lennon.I'll chance going for a 2-0 home win.:)

Hatch99

I keep on saying we will take our chances one day and stuff someone, sick of saying it though, 0-0

Leinstersqspur

Stoke are a massive 7/1, hmmmmm...

You mean at centre half or just in general? Fredericks isn't a centre half.

I mean at right full instead of walker

Yeh all in the same sentence with asking about Kaboul made it look like you wanted Fredericks to play centre half and it made me confused!

Kaboul is still out and Lennon may just about be fit to return.

I hope he does play Fredricks instead of Naughton,saw enough of him against pool, a feckin disaster.

Agree 100%, he is not up to the job even though playing on the right comes more natural to him.

Hatch99

Team v Stoke: Lloris, Naughton, Dawson, Chiriches, Fryers, Lennon, Paulinho, Dembele, Eriksen, Adebayor, Soldado

Hatch99

And our subs today: Friedel, Fredericks, Veljkovic, Capoue, Bentaleb, Chadli, Lamela

SuprSi

So Eriksen on the left and Lennon on the right? Surely not one of Dembele/Paulinho on the wings?

Could possibly be playing 4-3-3 with lennon soldado up top and ade in the middle, unlikely but nothing surprises me these days

2nd Row Donkey

One thing there will be is goals today.

Could be 4 or 6 goals in it. Hopefully we come out the right side of it.

Big Pussy Bonpensiero

Perhaps Fryers acting as a wing forward with Ericksen playing slightly to the left on the midfield 3. Haven't a clue what Sherwood is planning, but goals look likely, the question is, who for. Still hasn't started with a DM yet..

Hatch99

442 lads with erikkssin tucking in a wandering around.

i have a feeling we will outscore em anyways...3 -1 soldado hatrick of penalities

davycc

decent first 10 mins from us

SuprSi

Jaysus what a bloody miss

davycc

what a miss by ade open goal ffs

SuprSi

Peno

SuprSi

Goal by Soldado. We're certainly making up for not having any peno's last season!

bradolf pittler

Yes
1-0
This is the best we've played for a while,another 1 or 2 goals now please

SuprSi

Ade, aside from his bad miss earlier, has been excellent again

bradolf pittler

Paulinhos been fantastic too,Full of tricks

We are playing well and deserve to be 1 up, Ade is playing out of his skin again today.
I have a feeling we will score a few today.

SuprSi

Definitely should've been a peno to Stoke earlier though

SuprSi

Paulinho has been excellent but his shooting is still awful!

SuprSi

On recent form you'd wonder which of our strikers is worth £26m! Ade involves himself so much, and links up with the midfielders - it's great to watch and makes you realise how good a player he is

I thought so too but on that last replay it looked like Dawson got his studs to the ball, just. Close call though
