[Wilson]

Friedel; Walker, Vertonghen, Dawson, Chiriches; Paulinho, Dembele, Eriksen, Sigurdsson, Townsend, Soldado

What's Spurs' lineup?

 

Better than ours

[LRD]

What's Spurs' lineup?

 

A really good one.

 

Forget I ever asked.

[Guest bimpy474]

So again then, knacker them out by being ultra defensive hoping they don't score. Then have a go in the last 25 minutes. This tactic is so iffy if they score early.

[Yaron]

Its 2013 and Shola in the starting lineup

[RodneyCisse]

He's due a goal.

 

He was awesome vs Spurs like...two years ago. Maybe that will happen again.

 

Yeah, his bi annual world beating performance.

[Ronaldo]

4-4-2 is not the formation to play against Spurs. Their midfield should pass ours to death.

 

2 banks of 4.

 

Theirs?

 

OURS!

Shite.

Also Spurs are used to winning 1-0 this season can't see them getting too edgy going in at nil-nil or whatever. Playing into their hands a bit really. Still got a feeling we may get something from this, oddly positive.

[LRD]

Guess our gameplan is still to keep things tight until the 60th or 70th min before we have a go?

OKAY.

 

My point being that it's just the standard unimaginative fearful pap from Pardew.

[Varadi]

When you've just beaten Chelsea I don't suppose we can complain too much about an unchanged lineup.

Gonna keep doing it until it doesn't work.

Not that I don't think we will be bummed but Mata, Oscar, Ramiries, Lampard and Hazard (with Willian and Schurrle coming on) aren't the worst midfield in the world

You can. He's starting Shola. There is no justification for that selection, ever.

One of the main reasons we won came off the bench and helped change the game.

[BrettNUFC]

4-4-2 With Shola ffs.

 

Anita and HBA left out.

 

Pardew really?

 

Thoughts Brett?

 

I moaned at this against City and they put in a canny performance, i had half a moan at the line up before Chelsea and they won.

 

Can see why he's done it, options are limited, Cisse out of form, Ben Arfa struggled up top, Shola has give us something to aim at. Agree with the person a couple of posts up about the 4-4-2, Norwich played it and hardly seen the ball, hope we can do better than that. Feel sorry for Anita like, he should be starting. Dont' think Ben Arfa/Cisse/Colo can have too many complaints as they have either not took their chance or others deserve to be playing ahead of them.

Similar attitude when we finished 5th with regards to the summer window and we nearly got relegated

In a nutshell. He just moves between the 2/3 formations each time we lose/are losing, whichever one makes us "keep it tight" against the opposition of that day.

Indeed. I enjoyed that tactical masterclass by our esteemed leader and look forward to seeing it replicated today.... 

[RodneyCisse]

Got to keep up the Shola bashing, always turns into a performance, well not every time but almost every time.

Shola fucking Ameobi is starting instead of Hatem Ben Arfa, there's no excuse for that man.

He'd be fucking with Pele if this were true, tbh.

[Guest bimpy474]

We won because we brought Anita and Cisse (much lesser extent) on. I guess that's it this week too
