cubaricho Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Ideally, with everyone fit I'd be going Jonas, Guthrie and Barton as the three in the middle. Think that'd be very good tbh. Harper Beye Taylor Bassong Enrique Guthrie Barton _____ Jonas Owen Carroll ___ Martins When everyone is fit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Albert Square Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Spurs are nothing special, I think we will have a good go at them but I cant see both Harper and our defence stopping them from scoring, maybe if Shay Given was still here we would nick something. I think it will be 2-0 to Spurs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaylorJ_01 Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Harper Beye Taylor Bassong Enrique Butt Jonas Duff Owen Carroll Martins -------------------------------------------- Assuming Enrique, Taylor and Martins are fit I reckon we could get the three points. I'm well fired up for this game, cannot wait! Also, I don't like the criticism of Nicky Butt. I think he is the best player we have for that role infront of the defence. Jonas showed his obvious class with some brilliant through balls against Stoke, if he doesn't start I'm going to cry. Likewise, if Ryan Taylor starts I'm going to cry, possibly more. Duff has been great in the last few games imo. The least you can say is he has worked fucking hard and been a nuisance for the other team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 -------------- Harper Faylor -- Beye -- Bassong -- Enrique ------Guthrie -- Butt -- Jonas -------------- Owen ------ Carroll ----- Martins Is what I'd go for. If Enrique is out then shove Beye at RB, Faylor at LB and either Colo or Edgar at CB. I'd actually be tempted to start Duff instead of Martins too. Aside from the dodgy business last Saturday, Oba's been a disaster the last while and I've thought for a long time Duff's best spot is up front, making a nuisance of himself and working the channels playing off a big man. He's still not very good like, but we desperately need a bit of mobility up top and that's one thing he has. Would give Owen some space to work in coming from deep too. That'd be my XI, too. Same; aside from Faylor - asking for trouble playing him. The guy's wank. I thought Edgar was decent against Stoke tbh - i wouldn't be against having him in the side again; he's played not-terrible on a couple of occassions at centre-back when we've got a bit of confidence to us. Habib at right-back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ash Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Harper S.Taylor - Beye - Edgar - Bassong Guthrie - Butt - Jonas Owen Carroll - Martins S.Taylor and Beye can obviously swap positions but I'd like to see them line-up like that from the start. Beye hasn't done a bad job at centre back and Taylor was proabably our best player before his injury playing at right back. If Taylor's still injured, I'd shift Beye to right back with Coloccini playing in central defence. If Martins isn't available for whatever reason and Lovenkrands is fit, it'd be a straight swap between those two. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cajun Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Harper R Taylor Beye Bassong Enrique Guthrie Butt Jonas Owen Martins Carroll Full backs will have to push on a lot but we will have fight in midfield, hopefully Guthrie can pull out his odd excellent pass he manages now and again and Martins gets a bit of confidence early. As much as Owen gets stick and often deserves it he is better playing a bit deeper because he is still a very tidy player and can be quite clever. "The Big AC" will have to keep the form he showed against Stoke going but he could help Owen and Martins out a lot aswell as provided a goal threat himself especially at set pieces. Beye and Bassong are the most confident centre back pairing I can think of in a long time, both cool and calm as fuck (even is Bassong does have his dangerous moments) we will need Jose (if fit) on his defensive game and Ryan Taylor is a gamble but I am not sold on Edgar and at least Taylor has his long throws and the ability (at times) to put a dangerous ball in. We will be pretty fucked bench wise for bringing on players who can change a game though. Is Geremi fit, I honestly cant remember. He could be dangerous in terms of the majority of spurs players being fucked so his lack of pace isn't that much of a negative and his ability to find Owen.
