spurs v twente match thread

This is a game that we simply have to win against probably the weakest team in our group. We need to try get a few goals in this one too and hope the other game finishes in a draw. I think that we will have Gomes back for this one. I think Corluka could be on the bench for this game. I see the lineout like this.

Gomes
Hutton--Gallas--King--Bae
Lennon--Hudd--Luka--Bale
VDV--Crouch

Kold

Gonna try here early. Is anywhere in Cork City showing the match on a decent screen and have the sound on? Evergreen is a trek and getting the sh*tty TV in Counihans, having to listen to the Man Utd game can't be the best on offer?

I'd take a one nil win thanks to a last min og to be honest.

mickman

lots of injuries so it could be

----cudicini

hutton - corluka - king --- ekotto

jenas - hudd -- modric - bale

----vdv
---- crouch

lennon should be dropped for a while as should hudd as yiddo suggested.

Kold

Would prefer to see Gio on the right ahead of JJ myself despite the Arsenal game.

Has he been given a chance apart from the league cup 45 mins ? I'm not a fan of playing left footed players on the right and vice-versa, but he must be due a run in the team looking at Lennons form.

mickman

gio has come on several times this season

He has come on and made fleeting appearences, but I mean a proper run in the team.

According to 'The Sun', Harry will go all out attack because we have no fit defenders.

... hope he doesn't do an Ossie Ardiles on us!Or we might end up with something like this

cudicini

----hutton - corluka

Jenas --- Hudd---- Bale--

Lennon----VDV

Modric

keane--Crouch

Says nothing about King in the physio room so I presume he's alright? Would like to see two strikers this match with two wingers. Cant see either VdV or Modric being dropped tho so I'll go with this line-up...:D

Cudicini
Hutton --- King --- Bassong --- BAE
Lennon --- Modric --- V d V --- Bale
Crouch --- Keane

vdv & modric in the middle pull the other one pal

Looks like Corluka and Bassong in the middle again, it really is a case of attack being best form of defence.

Anybody know if the woolshed in Parnell street is showing this?

Harry Redknapp will make late a decision on the fitness of Ledley King ahead of Wednesday night's Champions League match against FC Twente.

The skipper and central defender missed Saturday's loss at West Ham after picking up a slight groin problem in training on Friday.

"We're not sure on Ledley but I'll say he's probably doubtful," reported Harry at this afternoon's press conference.

"If he's fit, he'll play, but I'm not sure if he will be fit.


"Charlie (Vedran Corluka) will play at centre-back again if Ledley's not right. I can't see too many changes at the back."

Harry had bad news to report though as Younes Kaboul tweaked his hamstring in training on Tuesday morning.


Meanwhile, the manager said he will make a late decision in goal with Heurelho Gomes fit and training again after picking up a groin injury in the first half against Wigan on August 28.

However, Carlo Cudicini has been in fine form and produced a number of top-class saves at West Ham.

"Carlo has played very well and I'll make that decision tomorrow," added Harry.

Michael Dawson (ankle/knee), Jermain Defoe (ankle) and William Gallas (groin) remain out.

Bale & VDV playing really well...

larry1

Peno!!! Yes.:D

larry1

VDV took it, Peno saved..Christ

Big Pussy Bonpensiero

What a fckin save...

It was a very harsh penalty tbf, probably justice.

Big Pussy Bonpensiero

Good half, all over them. Goal looks like coming. Unfortunate with the peno, should have been a retake. Think we need to get Van der Vaart off before he gets sent off. I'm thinking for Lennon or perhaps Keane. Twente look appalling going forward.

Everything In Its Right Place

it was a penalty he hauled crouch down when he was attempting to cross. keeper was well off his line when penalty was taken and box was enroached with players very unfair

what? he is our most effective player along side bale in this match. he has had 3 really good efforts and is a constant threat.

huddlestone is the lucky one to be on the pitch

I agree with you on that too but he looks so frustrated. After he hit that volley I thought he thought it went in! Stupid yellow too.
