Spurs build up thread

They are a good team, dont tend to win much in tough away games though and 2 of their 4 upfront are just as likely to be **** as they are excellent. Lets smash these southern cunts.

[Shaggy]

If Anfield is really ****ing rocking VDV and Adebayor could definitely go missing. Biggest game of the season, can't come quickly enough now.

[Robbie-9-Fowler]

My Spurs mate reckons their front six will line up like this:

------------Sandro------Parker-------------

----Modric----Van Der Vaart------Bale-------

-----------------Adebayor-------------


That 3 behind the striker is pretty ****ing worrying.

They've got themselves a very good side, much tougher for us to play against than City and United IMO

Dont fancy VDV to maintain that position, he'll go walkabout. And Modric wont give much width either.

And none of the three will do any effective tracking back. I'd play Kuyt up against Bale though, to protect our RB. Let Bellamy play wide left, Kyle Walker is defensively suspect for me and Modric wont track back.

Harry will dash from court to Anfield in private jet

Published 22:37 05/02/12 By Mike Walters (1) Recommend

Harry Redknapp will dash to Anfield on a private jet tonight to take charge of *Tottenham’s vital title clash with Liverpool.

The Spurs boss will be whisked away from the closing stages of his trial on tax evasion charges to board a plane for the 220-mile flight to Merseyside.

Harry’s flying circus will swing into action because close of play at Southwark Crown Court, where the jury is expected to be sent out to consider their verdict tomorrow, is normally around 4.30pm – too late for the Tottenham manager to make the long trip up north by road.

Although Redknapp has left training to his assistants Kevin Bond and Joe Jordan, he has been present in the dug-out for Spurs’ games against Watford and Wigan since his trial in London began.

He is planning to pick the team, deliver the team talk and make the return journey south on the team’s planned charter flight after tonight’s match.

Redknapp, 64, will have to decide whether to unleash former Everton striker Louis Saha, Tottenham’s surprise free transfer signing on *deadline day, for his debut in the old enemy’s back yard.

Saha said: “When everyone clicks, it’s very hard to defend against Tottenham. It’s amazing – I can’t wait to get started.”

[Darkon]

I still don't understand the purchase of Saha and especially Nelsen...

[Fredo]

Strength in depth. Then Harry is a wheeler dealer.

[Darkon]

I guess, but in the case of Nelsen they sign him and loan out a better defender to Wolves.

They are perhaps a striker short.

[Mostar]

I don't get neither Saha nor Nelsen signings.

I get they were looking to sell Pav back to Russia's league but one would think Saha deal should've been conditional on the sale of Pav only.

Nelsen makes even less sense as Bassong is much better player than Nelsen..

[Frenchie]

Saha off the bench.....

Does anyone else think Enrique has been a bit of a liability defensively the last couple of games? I'm not sure whether we should have Johnson and Kelly playing and rest Enrique for this one.

I'd play Kuyt, he seems to have hit form offensively and he's reliable for supporting the right back defensively.

I'd love to see Suarez, Carroll, Bellamy and Gerrard playing on the same pitch. We are at home so whilst needing to respect the attacking ability of Spurs we must give them something to think about too.

If those 4 are going to start then Spearing needs to play too IMO.

No, I definitely don't. He's very unorthodox in his approach, but he hasn't really let us down. He's been caught out once or twice, but his pace/strength have gotten him out of trouble.

On another note, I really want Carroll to start. I'm not exactly his biggest fan (of his play, I have nothing personal against him) but he's looked a lot more mobile in recent matches and the fact that he scored we should make use of any potential confidence. We stuck with him when he was awful, if dropping him means a confidence drop, then we can't afford not to play him.

I'm looking quite forward, have a good feeling about this game, but can never get too sure, we have a habit of shooting ourselves in the foot against them.
