----------------Cesar--------------
Dyer----Nelsen---Onuoha----Boswinga
JS Park----Granero--Faurlin---Hoilett
-----------Zamora---Cisse---------

I must say, I don't rate Tottenham that much this year. I thought Lazio made them look better than what they are the other night. I'm expecting us to get a point, but if we play like we did against the scum then we will beat them

[Busheyboy]

quite like this line up - don't think MH will do it
I think he'll bring Hill in to the defence, keep the same midfield as last week and bring Cisse in for AJ

Mackie---Onouha---Nelsen---Bosingwa

My revised starting line-up.

We need players with pace to stifle Lennon and Bale so I think SWP and Dyer could feature.

[Busheyboy]

agree, their pace is the most dangerous aspect of their play, stop them both and I fancy us to get something

Spurs vs. QPR: my little preview, musing a bit on that injury list:

All of which is why we present very lttle threat going forward - hustle and bustle is not enough.

A Hughes 4-4-2 with Johnson and Zamora up front was not going to dismantle anyone. Because Johnson is now out, there are a number of tactical options which could be employed to far greater effect than the predictable 4-4-2 so favoured by Hughes. Don't hold your breath.

Well said, although I have to admit the team looked better than expected against Chelsea.

It's still early days, and there's always a fine line between pragmatism and naivety, but MH has assembled a very talented squad at sizeable expense and ought to feel he can have faith in his players whatever the situation. You can't just drop all the "flair players" and concentrate on not losing every time we play someone decent.

Hard not to think back to how MH struggled with Robinho and Elano during his time at City.

As poor as SWP was for a good portion of last season, he seems to have a spring in his step this year and he tracks back well defensively, that's why I think MH prefers over Hoilett in a tough away match like this!

his tracking back should of cost us a penalty against the bluenoses last week

[Sotonsuperhoop]

Mackie at RM to track Bale and Park at LM to track Lennon so problem solved. Dembele is still finding his feet and Sandros is just not good enough. The service up to Defoe will be poor and Nelsen and Nedum will eat him for breakfast!
