What's your choice for starting XI?

Cerny
Chimbonda Kaboul Rocha Lee
Lennon Tainio Zokora Taarabt
Defoe Bent

Subs: Alnwick, Stalteri, Bale, Steed, Keane

KingdomYid

would go with

Cerny
Stalteri,Rocha,Dawson,Lee
Lennon,Zokora,Jenas,Taarabt
Bent,Defoe

Subs:Alnwick,Tainio,Gardner,Keane,Malbranque

would rest berba kaboul and keano,Dawson needs games,think jenas should play as tainio would be too defensive we have to hit these with an attacking performance,give lennon and taarabt the ball and take them on,must admit it is a relief to escape from league football and hopefully gain some confidence from a resounding home win.

I think we MUST try something different in the league, and this game and the cup game V Boro are the ideal chances to see how other options work. Plus there are a few of our players who need time on the bench! However I would not rest Dawson or Kabul, they need as much time on the field together as they can!

Cerny
Chimbo,Kabul,Dawson,Stalteri
Lennon,Hudd,The Prince,Taarabt
Bent,Defoe
Subs - Berb, Lee, Zokora, Steed, 3rd goalie?

I'd be happy enough with that. Lets get a few goals and we can make changes in the 2nd leg.

I think the opportunity is there to score some goals without conceding any and give some of the players a bit of a confidence booster

Cerny

Chimbonda
Dawson
Rocha
Lee

Lennon
Jenas
Zokora
Taarabt

Defoe
Bent

Subs;
Robinson (let him know what it feels like) Stalteri, KPB, Keane, Malbranque

Wendell Gee

Cerny
Chimbonda Dawson Rocha Bale
Lennon Jenas Boetang Taarabt
Bent Defoe

need more pace in the team. Hudd just looks to sluggish for the prem. Wish I Was wrong, and I am mindful that it took Carick a full season too really settle as anchor of Spurs midfield. Time is of the essence. I would love to see Bale/Taarabt together. Boetang must be tried, cos if he doesn't have it, we need to buy at Christmas. I defended Zokora all last season, but I wish we'd signed Ya ya Toure from that Ivory Coast midfield. Noe BAE is back, will he get a run soon?

Totaly agree mate, we need to see what the Price can do, and this game and Boro, we need to see him - as you say, we may need to look at MF again in Jan! By the way Wexford COYS are meeting at Maggie's for the match tonight if you can make it!
