So why not stick Maya in there? Would MUCH prefer to keep Lovren alongside Fonte with Adebayor to cope with and with Spurs having pace down the wings we need Clyne & Shaw out wide. Having Maya in could almost allow Clyne & Shaw to play more as wing backs and keep the Spuds wide men deeper. We've all moaned at times about plan B's, we've had opposition teams pressing US much more of late so no reason why MP wouldn't try a small tinkering with our shape.

But do think Reed deserves a chance now

 

Because Lovren and Chambers have both played in midfield, don't think Maya ever has, might be wrong. My choice would to play José and Maya at the back with Dejan just in front of them as a sort of sentinel with 2 CMs in front of him and 2 AMs in front of them, 1 striker.

Why is everyone so certain Cork won't play? Poch said he is doubtful however he was in training yesterday so a chance he maybe fit. Also Morgan has "Slight problem" so he may be ok to play.

Think people are just suggesting alternatives if all 3 are out.

 

Hopefully Morgan and Cork are both fit.

I think if it's anyone it will be Davis and JWP playing deeper, with Lallana, JRod and Guly in front. That's worst case, assuming Cork, VW, Morgan and Gaston are all out but I'd be surprised if that's the case.

Yes but.. IN the speculation stakes, Guly was also mentioned (as with Gaston) as having to be "assessed".

 

It's a worst case scenario, we COULD have Cork, VW, Morgan, Guly, Gaston all missing. Kind of leaving JWP AL & Davis as our only fit midfielders.

 

It's incredibly unlikely but at least it makes a change from normal threads.

 

Hmmm didn't SRL used to play in midfield? :rolleyes: looked good defensively last few minutes against Norwich..........

Go with a 3-5-2

 

-------------- - Boruc-

---------Jose Lovren Maya

-Clyne --------------------- Shaw

----------Davis Jwp Lallana

 

-----------Lambert J-Rod

 

I am sure it will get pointed out why this would never work,but I like the look of that Hull have been playing like thsi most of the season and they have done well with it

"It's a good model," Sherwood said. "It's a completely different model to Tottenham, as much as we want to bring our boys through.

 

"Our boys have to be at a level of playing Premier League to Champions League. Southampton have had the benefit of their players being developed from League One to the Championship to now. So it's good.

 

"Now is a test for them. How many can they deliver into the Premier League straight away?"

 

What's he on about?

Um how about Shaw, JWP and Chambers just to name three. Sherwood is a skate **** so expect no less.

Nothing short of a win tomorrow will do now if we are to keep our faint championship hopes alive. Even then we have to overturn a 33 goal difference compared with Chelsea. Hate settling for 2nd again :)

 

Never changes for me though, always the one team I really want to beat whenever we play them. I reckon we have a good chance, but depends who is and isn't injured.

Isn't that a quote from last year?

I like the system, but I think its one that needs to be worked on preseason. I would think chambers could easily play right side centre half in that system.

Where are people drinking tomorrow? We're thinking of having a couple round Liverpool st and then getting the overground to Northumberland Park.

 

Hamilton Hall, the Wetherspoons on the street level concourse of Liverpool St will be open early. Other pubs may be midday opening.

Good starting line up, glad to see Cork and JWP back. Bench looks a little lacking.

 

Only 2 players missing, and I doubt Guly being there would make you change your mind? Gallagher and Ramirez can both be game changers and if the management trust Reed then so should we.

Definitely a team capable of grabbing something today!

JWP has massive shoes to fill though, MS is core to our pressing and dictating.

I wouldn't be surprised if Davis is dropped deeper after JWPs poor performance V Norwich.

Time to start living up to the hype. Good opportunity for him.

Oh, I don't doubt that's the best bench we can do, and I'll trust the management with the players I haven't seen much of... But should Boruc or one of the CBs get injured/sent off, I will be quietly changing into my brown trousers.

 

Some shopping needed in summer is all I'm saying.

Yoshida is more than capable, and Hooiveld has performed in the past when he isn't getting overawed.

Need a good start. They have quite a few confidence players in the midfield and catch them on a good day and they are very dangerous. Both full backs poor defensively though.

 

Hope this isn't the day Soldado shows why Spurs paid 27m for him!

I dont know why but I really dislike Verthongen.....it´s something about the way he behave and posture himself during games that makes me dislike him...

Hate to sound negative but why are you glad to see JWP back? I hope he proves me wrong and plays a blinder.
