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.

tippspur

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.

davycc

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

dabbler2004

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

down with that sort of thing. Boo.

Big Pussy Bonpensiero

Dembele playing great too, best player after Lennon IMO. Ade having a fantastic game, Paulinho showing some decent tricks and flicks but I haven't been too impressed with his general play, Ericksen poor, 2 young full backs along with everyone else doing well.

Lennon showing why he's an ever present in the squad, he's much more intelligent that people give him credit for. His runs and general positioning is excellent. Just his end product that sometimes lets him down.

Come on now Soldado, get another 1 or 2!

And ffs, do not drop any points here..

I'm still struggling to love the cnut.

bradolf pittler

Good 1st half with Ade,Paulinho and Lennon playing really well,Erikseen really bad from set pieces,couldnt get the ball past the 1st man on 3 occasions.
We're gonna need another goal at least to put this to bed,hope Soldado get another chance.Have a feeling he'll bury 1.

Hatch99

If we could take our chances, we'd be 5 or 6 up

davycc

more of the same in the 2nd half please! great on the eye from our forwards...still need an early goal or 3 to put this knacker team to bed

nipps

spurs with 70% possession and 11 attempts/ 2 on target vs 0 attempts for stoke. this game needs to be put to bed quickly

SuprSi

Right, I'm starting to think Soldado is a complete flop - absolutely brutal efforts in this game.

dabbler2004

How did Soldado miss that sitter!

davycc

even worse miss by soldado than ades in 1st half

tippspur

We really need a second goal here.

davycc

DEMBELE!!!!!!!

dabbler2004

Great play, great finish!!

Big Pussy Bonpensiero

His performance deserved that, MOTM for me.

White Heart Loon

Great goal

bradolf pittler

YESSSSSSS

tippspur

Dembele some strike !!!!!!!!!!!

SuprSi

Nice! I walk away for 2 minutes and we're an extra goal up

nipps
