Spurs Buildup...

I fancy we'll see a real performance from Carroll this afternoon, just have this feeling he's going to cause all sorts of issues for them.

[Gibbo]

I hope your right rcasemore, we need it from him and he needs to deliver.

He really does.

[Kenneth]

I can't wait to see suarez one on one with Ledley King.

[BringbackBiscan]

Ledley King's a beast when he's fit. Should go old school and someone kick him early on.

Fancy Carroll to score today.

I'm not so sure.

King (if he lasts entire game) and Kaboul are both very good in the air and I would think playing Carroll would be to their advantage but I hope I'm wrong.

Personally I'd prefer to see Bellamy to use pace and trickery to stretch the defense and give our defenders some breathing space.

I'm also worried that they will dominate the possession with Modric and Parker in the midfield.

[Kenneth]

But he's never fit and he's not got pace.

Yeah, i think it's all set up for Andy Carroll today. Sat warming the bench for a few games, you would expect to see a reaction and i have a sneaky feeling we might get one.

I hope so, he needs to do a lot more than he has done, City last season apart he has been very poor.

How is it that Ledley King never finds himself injured when we play Spurs?

[Mostar]

I checked Spurs forums and they seem to be scared ****less with Walker playing Downing.

Many would prefer to see Corluka instead as they see Walker as a disaster waiting to happen and think he'll give a penalty away as he's so inconsistent at the back.

well we'll see in 20 minutes or so - I think in away games like this it's never a bad thing to have an out ball and different options, Carroll offer that, I think Bellamy will come on from the bench 65 - 70 minutes in and will cause problems for tired legs

I hope the result is still in our favor when that happens as we struggled so far trying to play catch up game.

I was wondering the same thing
