Seeing that last time we played them at home in the league we won 5-0 , it hardly takes a genius to choose the same team ....

Cudicini
Corluka
Huddlestone
Bassong
BAE
Lennon
Jenas
Palacios
Kranjcar
Keane
Defoe

1-1
 
They are coming to park the bus . . . . . . .

We probably need some width to stretch their defense out (Lennon)

We need a genius at the middle of the park or behind the striker who always looks to create something maybe a shot or a through pass (Eriksen)

We need energetic fullbacks ready to attack almost throughout the game (Rose and Walker)

No
clueless unproductive inverted Wingers (Chadli, Lamela, Townsend)
No
'midfield donkeys sideways passes specialists' (Dembele, Paulinho, Capoue)

My lineup would probably be
----------------------------Hugo
--------------------Fazio--------Verts

Walker-----------------------------------------Rose

-------------------------------Bentaleb
--------------------Mason
Lennon
----------------------Eriksen

---------------------------------------------Kane
---------------------Soldado

 
As long as Eriksen starts as #10 I suppose I am happy.

Start building around him, no more fooling around.
I agree. Whenever he played the #10 role, there was so much more creativity/effectiveness than when Lamela did. For me, he's undoubtedly the core of our play style atm, though he'll need a break at some point.
And I'd rather see him out vs Burnley/Leicester than against United/Chelsea tbh.
I'd rest him against Leicester next week, so I'll go with a great Eriksen performance leading us to a 3-1 win.
Eriksen, 2x Soldado ( hope never dies :cool: ) for us to score.
 
Chadli? Erm unproductive?.. he's one of our highest goal scorers so far
Beside those fluke goals he rarely does anything, he doesn't run at people and make tackles, he never protects his fullback, he rarely involved in build up play and his crosses are very poor, he's our laziest player second to Adebayor.

He's also the reason the Depay deal fell through, so I don't like him.
 
You numpty! Didn't you know he hates spurs?

There is a suggestion that Adebayor is available for selection, while I wouldn't start with him I'd definitely have him on the bench if we get a couple of goals up early I'd want to get Kane off and save him for later and if that gives Adebayor 20-30 minutes to show he gives a toss, I would be interested to see how he does.

Fucking hell. Rarely does anything and never protects his fullback?! This children, is why we don't do drugs.
 
Fully fit squad, and the 3 people who reportedly caused trouble are not in the 18. Kaboul, Lennon and Adebayor.

Being moved on in January?

Loving that we finally have a settled back 5. Injuries permitting, that should be our back 4 for as many games as possible.
 
What happened to Lennon? Had a couple of decent appearances then fell off the map. Not even making benches.
