Spurs Match Thread

[newtonfox]

The problem is that Spurs have strength in depth these days. They have plenty of cover for the player missing and will field a strong side on Sunday.

true but not as strong as it could have been ,if they where all fit

In that case Joe then surely you play Stearman at right back and Maybury at left back?

Even though Maybury has been appalling recently, you wouldn't necessarily want to throw Sheehan in against Aaron Lennon.

I dont like playing players out of position. it is best to have a naturally left footed player on the left than a player on the wrong side. Maybury is much worse when he plays on the left.

4-5-1? :icon_roll

Five Changes For Foxes

Craig Levein has made five changes to his line up for the FA Cup third round tie against Tottenham Hotspur at the Walkers Stadium.

In come Nils-Eric Johansson, Gareth Williams, Ryan Smith, Joe Hamill and Mark de Vries for Dion Dublin, Danny Tiatto, Patrick Kisnorbo, Iain Hume and Elvis Hammond.

Tiatto misses the game after tearing his hamstring in the 2-0 defeat at Palace on Monday, while Dublin, Hume, Hammond and Kisnorbo are all named on the bench.

The Foxes look set to line up in a 4-5-1 formation, with de Vries employed as a lone striker.

The last encounter between the two sides was the thrilling 4-4 Premiership draw at White Hart lane in February 2004.

City: Douglas, Stearman, McCarthy, Johansson, Maybury, Smith, Hughes, Gudjonsson, Williams, Hamill, de Vries.
Subs: Henderson, Hammond, Hume, Kisnorbo, Dublin.

Bloody 4-5-1, what a fookin joke you are Levein. We are not in the league, we have nothing to lose, why are you being such a twat?

 

[Steven]

Spurs: Robinson, Kelly, Stalteri, Rasiak, Keane, Brown, Dawson, Carrick, Lennon, Jenas, Gardner.
Subs: Cerny, Tainio, Pamarot, Defoe, Routledge

That is a shocking choice of team especially at home and on the telly. You would have thought we would actually want to show we are a decent side. I bet the spurs fans are laughing
Anyway i have the alcohol and anti-depressants ready for the inevitable

I doubt the Spurs fans are bothered about who is playing for us.

 

[chrislcfc18]

that is true. I was also thinking about the Spurs defence but i dont think they would be bothered either.
Just puzzles me why put out a defensive minded formation when the last thing you want is a replay. I know that would give us a bit of money but almost guaranteed to be knocked out. Would like us just to go for it in this game. Stick Hammond and Hume up front and try to run the spurs defence ragged.

 

[Chrysalis]

why are we surprised?

 

[highland fox]

I'll leave the slating f the Formation until I see how much Smith,Williams and Hughes get forward to support MDV.I really can't see why Hammill is playing though:icon_roll

 

[Steven]

Maybury already done down the left. :icon_roll
