SNSUN Posted 28 April, 2013 Share Posted 28 April, 2013 No Fox, no Ramirez. Is this a good thing? Questions need to be asked about the performance against WBA, but I do believe we have a manager who'll give the lads a ruddy good rollocking and get them to up their performance against Spurs. What do we reckon of the team? Will Shaw be fit? Will Forren get his debut? Puncheon in? For me, if Shaw's fit and Cork didn't get a knock, I'd actually keep the same team as yesterday but with Shaw at left back. Which means keeping faith in Jos. I must be radio rental. But then I'm not picking the team. Scoreline predictions too please. I reckon Mr Bale will tear us a new one, but with an improved performance we'll only lose by the odd goal in 3. 2-1 Spuds.

Stu Man Do Posted 28 April, 2013 Share Posted 28 April, 2013 Puncheon back in maybe? Can see Clyne at left back and Cork wasted at right back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nexstar Posted 28 April, 2013 Share Posted 28 April, 2013 Hoping for Forren at LB if no Shaw, and Fonte at CB. Without Cork stick Davis in with Morgan and put Lallana in the hole. I'd give Puncheon a start as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Charlie Posted 28 April, 2013 Share Posted 28 April, 2013 Personally would go Clyne LB and Cork at RB - the likes of Richardson just aren't up to it at this level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shurlock Posted 28 April, 2013 Share Posted 28 April, 2013 If Bale is playing on the left, even if he's drifting into more central positions, I'd rather Clyne stay where he is. We need to be as strong on the right hand side as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lighthouse Posted 28 April, 2013 Share Posted 28 April, 2013 I'd go with: Boruc Clyne - Fonte - Yoshi - Frazer Cork - Morgan Davis - JRod - Puncheon Lambert I think we will lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WealdSaint Posted 28 April, 2013 Share Posted 28 April, 2013 Is Lambert fully fit?...Love him to bits but he has'nt looked his normal self last few games. Spurs will really want to win this. Jrod's pace on the break may be a key factor. Possible Mayuca on the subs bench as well. Clyne at left back & Richardson (is he fit?) at right back. Targett on the bench Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VectisSaint Posted 28 April, 2013 Share Posted 28 April, 2013 Hoping for Forren at LB if no Shaw, and Fonte at CB. Without Cork stick Davis in with Morgan and put Lallana in the hole. I'd give Puncheon a start as well. Oh my God, when I have seen Forren he looks so slow, would hate to see him put up against Lennon. Why would anyone want to see a CB make his debut at LB? I really don't want top see him play in the 1st xi this season, maybe a good pre-season will bring him up to speed, so to speak. Happy with Fonte and Yoshi in the middle. If Shaw is not fit then Clyne at LB and Richardson or Cork at RB. If Cork is at RB then Davis and Spiderman in the middle, Punch instead of Lallana.

SaintBobby Posted 28 April, 2013 Share Posted 28 April, 2013 A draw would be exceptionally good news. I might even take a one goal defeat is you offered it to me now. (which sounds weird, but would mean we preserve our much superior goal difference over Villa and Wigan, which might just start to look dicey were we to lose 6-0) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colinjb Posted 28 April, 2013 Share Posted 28 April, 2013 As we are safe, I would use this game to experiment a little. Forren in for Jos, Mayuka to Start. Maybe even call up Targett from the U21's. Not only would it give some fringe players a chance to impress, it'll give the rest of the squad a kick-up the ar*e and signal that performances like the one we have just endured will not simply be classified as 'one of those things.'

BlakeySFC Posted 28 April, 2013 Share Posted 28 April, 2013 If Shaw's fit we may be capable of getting a draw up at White Hart Lane. If Shaw isn't fit and we have to play Cork/Yoshida at RB with Fonte coming in at CB with Hooiveld then this could be an extremely humiliating defeat that could dent our (relatively decent) goal difference further. Personally, if Shaw is fit I'd play Forren alongside Yoshida at CB, Clyne RB, Shaw LB with Cork and Schneiderlin in DM and a front 3 of Mayuka, Jay Rod and Puncheon. Just think Lallana has been absolute dog-sh!te since he's come back from injury and needs dropping to give him a kick up his arse. I doubt MoPo will make any of these chances though, if Shaw isn't fit I'd expect this line up: Boruc Yoshida/Cork - Fonte - Hooiveld - Clyne Schneiderlin - Davis Puncheon - Jay Rod - Lallana Lambert If Shaw is fit, I'd expect this line-up: Boruc Clyne - Yoshida - Hooiveld - Shaw Schneiderlin - Cork Puncheon - Jay Rod - Lallana Lambert However, the line-up I'd like to see is: Boruc Clyne - Yoshida - Forren/Fonte - Shaw Cork - Schneiderlin Puncheon - Jay Rod - Mayuka Lambert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MLG feeds his need of constantly correcting people and proving he is more intelligent, by regularly pointing out how Dalek is wrong. Even though it is blindingly obvious to everyone else who have long since grown bored with Dalek and put him on ignore list. Dalek feeds his need to have completely pointless arguments by pretending to be stupid and deliberately posting things he knows are irritating, incorrect and/or controversial. Without each other, both posters lives would be completely devoid of all meaning. I think Attenborough made a documentary on it a few years ago.

UpweySaint Posted 28 April, 2013 Share Posted 28 April, 2013 Feeling v doom and gloom about this one. My spurs supporting housemate is going back to see this one for his birthday and he fancies an easy win for them too. Think we'l lose but hope we show something else then we did against wba. Jos out, was woeful saturday. Boruc Clyne Fonte Yoshida Forren Cork Morgan Punch Davis Lallana Rodriguez Puncheon will hopefully play with a man with a point to prove, Lambert has looked lacking sharpness last few weeks, would like to see him as an option off the bench, a five man midfield should keep us solid while allowing for quick counter attacks.

Bobbyboy Posted 29 April, 2013 Share Posted 29 April, 2013 Still think a key point in all this is that Clyne is our best RB and should be played against Bale. Make up the rest of the defence from whatever we can find that looks half decent/half fit in training this week, bearing in mind it it may be some Forrener or even begin with a 'J' and end with 'ack Stephens'. And then maybe buy some defenders in the next transfer window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint_John Posted 29 April, 2013 Share Posted 29 April, 2013 One thing no one has mentioned is that 4 days after they play us is they have a "cup final for a CL place" when they have an away game at Chelsea (8th May).
