Next game is biggest of the season ????

mickman

I know this is early but Harry has to put his head down and get the team together for next sunday

We are live in front of the sky cameras against a very poor blackburn side who are fighting for their premier league survival

Team has to be

Friedal : Our number 1 and has had a great season . Deserves our support
Walker : Excellent season and one of our best players
Ekotto : No alternative
King : Our leader at the back and a top CB
Kaboul - Our best player all season
Bale : Our most explosive player
Modric : Our most naturally gifted footballer
Parker : Our captain and Englands captain
Lennon : One of our most dangerous players
Adebayour : Our best frontman to lead the line
Defoe : OUr best finisher

I think vdv has to be dropped - he was out during the week saying he wants to finish up playing in Holland. He has had a bad time of it recently and is so terribly slow and cant make a full 90 minutes.

Well I think the last game should have been the biggest game for us and should have been our turning point. I don't have much hope that we can win the next four really.

Regarding your line up, I think Gallas may be a better choice than King, but really as it is, they are both useless. I hope Kaboul is back for this. I really don't think that we should set out in a 4-4-2 either. Every time we do it we are so open on the counter attack, which Yakubu excels at.

In my opinion we need VDV on the pitch. We barely threaten to score recently and a bit of magic from VDV could be the difference. Defoe does not deserve to start, but should come on at 60 minutes if we need him. If both Bale and lennon stay on the ****ing wings, hey, we might have a chance.

If we don't win im simply calling this season quits and ill talk to you all next august..... any kind of three points will do! I haven't given up on 4th yet.

Biggest game of the season was man city away. Next biggest was arsenal a few weeks ago. 3rd biggest was the game after aresnal. 4th biggest was yesterday.
The next game is no longer crucial as we do not hold our destiny in our own hands and we rely on others results.

bradolf pittler

each of the last 9 games in the league have been this biggest game of the season.
arsenal lost
utd lost
everton lost
stoke draw
chelsea draw
swansea win yayyyyyyyyy
sunderland draw
norwich lost
qpr lost
i honestly wouldnt be suprised if we didnt win any of the remaining games but we spurs fans are masochists and theres always hope.1 win could kick start the belief in the players to get the job done.

Leave out VDV and start Defoe? Don't make me laugh! VDV gives more in 60 minutes than Defoe does in an entire game. Leave Mr Offside on the bench and bring him on with 20 to go.As for Ledley past his sell by date.
Agree with you on Kaboul though

Does he though mate ? At least the little fella works hards and chases fellas down, and stays up front which helps..VDV spends most of his time trotting around with his beyonce bum popping along with him.
In saying that, VDV's best asset is probably getting important goals, which helps !!

Defoe works hards and chases fellas down? He must have a more energetic twin brother that I dont know.

Yeah VDV regularly covers the most distance of any of our players.

Thats not a good thing when he is supposed to be playing in the hole behind the striker

Whats the point in him floating around the back 4

Totally agree. But the point was made that VDV doesn't work hard, which I don't agree with.

If Harry told him to stay in the hole and for our wingers to actually play on the wings, I think we may stand a chance.

I was wondering the same thing,Defoe chases fellas down??

BAE out for rest of season.

Team for me has to be:

Fridel
Walker................King..............................Kaboul..............Rose
Lennon...................Parker.....................Modric................Bale
......................................VDV..........................................
.........................................Ade..........................................


Its essential to play the wide players wide and not for Bale to come inside. Not a huge fan of Rose but no other option.

Rose can't do any worse than BAE has been doing for the last while.

SuprSi

In fairness he offers pace, enthusiasm and a bit of trickery, and will be dying to prove his worth for the last few games of the season. Could be a big chance for him so let's hope he takes it.

Rose covered the remaining games of last season and was outstanding. C'mon Danny, time to shine!

Rose a perfect replacement, should have had a lot more game time before now.

Have to agree, give the kid a run. Can't get much worse at this stage so let him show his worth. Not too long ago bale got a similar chance and while I am pissed off he won't stay wide left there is no disputing what he's done for us. COYS

I am assume you mean getting caught offside? That's Defoe's strongest trait

mickman

Steve kean reckons he can get a result against us today. Says he has a plan and tactics to hit out weaknesses

Most likely this means playing 11 behind the ball and cramming the midfield with players and hitting us on the break

As per any game. We must score first and we must score early...

we need to score 3 quickly... at 1-0 or 2-0 up... at the mo we still never look like we will go on to win...

Big Pussy Bonpensiero

I've set up a social group for streams for anyone looking for them. One's of the match today will be posted on this.
http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/group.php?groupid=317

SuprSi

Are you allowed to do this? If so, great and thanks!

Big Pussy Bonpensiero

Not sure tbh, sure we'll have to see!

ziedth

I don't see why not, streams are openly talked about on the site so it's no difference in creating a social group.

Be different if it was torrents on the film forum Ya know?

SuprSi

I know they ban people in the Rugby forum whenever they ask for streams so it may be a touchy point.

"Here's today's team - Friedel; Walker, Gallas, Kaboul, Rose; Lennon, Modric, Sandro, Bale; Van der Vaart; Adebayor."

This is from the official twitter. Looks like Sandro in instead of Parker.

Yea Parker needs a rest at this stage having put in MOTM performances on a weekly basis for most of the season...

Sandro should be chomping at the bit for a full 90mins.

I like the look of that team.......Lennon and Bale will cause havoc:cool::cool:
