Spurs v Stoke City

Devo from Dublin

Right, Here goes....

I reckon we will beat these by 2-1.
Cant see us keeping a clean sheet at all nowadays.

My preferred 11 would be..........

Hugo

Naughton - Fazio - Kaboul - Rose

Vertonghen- Mason

Lamela - Soldado - Townsend.

Kane.

Need Fazio to smack a few of these thugs.

Kiith

Vertonghen in midfield?

Stick Dembele in there, and go two up front i say.

2nd Row Donkey

Is Fazio available again. Might stick a few quid on him getting a sent off. He's a shoe in for at least a yellow.

mickman

keep fazio away from the team , he was shockingly bad last night.

thought townsend did well, maybe give him a go on the left

Sugarlumps

Townsend deserves a start, think he only shot wildly once last night. Charlie Adam usually leaves a mark. I expect a feisty affair.

We've the slowest cb's in premiership history, any ball over the top and panic sets in. Crouch/Walters up front, not blessed with pace, but they'll niggle away for the 90 minutes. Moses is fairly pacey, he'll have a field day.

Hugo heroics, might salvage a draw.

Devo from Dublin

Jan has played defensive midfield before... so i believe..
Capoue, Dembele, Paulinho, Stambouli are our holding options so to speak..
The 3 attacking midfileders and striker options are ..
Lamela, Townsend,Eriksen,Lennon, Chadli, ooooh Chadli :eek:,Kane,Soldado,Ade.

What are the chances of Kane starting tomorrow? Wanna sign him for FF but he seems to never start league games?

Adebayor didn't travel to Greece and was rested so based on previous behaviour where Poch did the same thing in other away games in the EPL -Ade is nailed in to start.

So why in God's name did we buy this player. Poch plays a high line. baldini oversees the scouts and player purchase ... what was the ****ing point?

Adebeyor is doubtful for the game according to reports.

slegs

Kane will start for sure question will be whether it's as striker or no 10 behind Soldado

mickman

Papers have it that the players don't want adebayour to start anymore

There apparently was a revolt when adebayour brought some newcastle players into the spurs dressing room just minutes after the game ended

If he did that then the guy is more brain dead than I thought and has zero interest in spurs

True or not, he has always had zero interest in our club

Sugarlumps

Kane starts!

Sugarlumps

#THFC team: Lloris, Naughton, Fazio, Kaboul (c), Rose; Capoue, Mason; Chadli, Eriksen, Townsend; Kane

mushykeogh

Eriksen playing off Kane?

Sugarlumps

Glad Townsend got the start.

Yeah, he deserved it, played like a proper winger which gives us the width we need.
Not sure on Kane as lone striker, would prefer see him play behind Soldado

Hatch99

Fazio started under assumption crouch would play and he's not... Fazio could struggle

He came out recently and said he wasn't playing well enough to start in the league. He has the beating of a player and can cross the ball, just needs to keep it simple.

Eriksen has been very poor of late, needs to support Kane.

pleasant Co.

Same as some others I'd have liked to have seen kane behind soldado

From paddy power:

"Spurs have dropped Adebayor following a late fitness test showed he's a lazy bastard"

I got a laugh out of it

Moses and Diouf both pacey, even if moses hasnt been playing great so far this season.

mushykeogh

Christ.

tippspur

Some shyte start.

mickman

Bojan runs from inside his own half uncontested to score

Left Back on the Bench

No creativity, no ideas, no pace, no passion, no fight, no will to win.

Playing hoofball again already because no one wants the ball. Meat and drink to Stoke.

I'm finding it hard to watch them these days. Past blaming manager after manager, most of these players are gutless

Long Time Lurker

Nevermind guts. This bunch of players are simply not good enough.

Well if you're not good enough you work hard at least

Fazio is the new Rocha. Rubbish

Good comparison actually

tippspur

Fcuk this,getting ripped apart by Stoke City.shambles at the back ffs.

Long Time Lurker

Any guess who the new manager is going to be. Only a matter of time now given the form, the performances abs the way Levy thinks!

mushykeogh

What a shambles.

mickman

What an absolute joke

This guy pochetino doesn't have a notion

Dave11

Today's back four is the worst starting four I can recall in my long time supporting Spurs.

Kimsang

Our centre halfs really. Wouldn't give so much stick to our full backs, especially when they're playing beside some of the worst performing centre-halfs we've ever had!

MonkieSocks

Danny Rose should change his name to Danny Doze :mad:

Hammar

I never thought i would see the day when Stoke City would be giving us a lesson in expansive football while we can't string two passes together.
Fu.ck me

Long Time Lurker

So far today: Fazio awful. Rose awful. Chadli awful. Kaboul awful. Defense unorganized. Midfield invisible. Up front impotent. Wingers constantly making wrong decisions. Defensively no cover from the centre of the park. Its a shambles by no other name.

MonkieSocks

We need need Two up front, there needs to be some outlet for our midfield to pass the ball to.

tippspur

Some amount of empty seats around the ground,are people gone home already?

MonkieSocks

Aj Jayus,

Moses working miracle’s for Stoke, parting our defense like the Red Sea

Long Time Lurker

I hope to never see Fazio in a spurs shirt again.

MonkieSocks

Niceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

tippspur

What would we do without Chadli's goals.some strike.

MonkieSocks

Chad should stay out on the right and Lamela should go on the left

slegs

Adebayour can just go fúck off. Sick of seeing him do nothing.
