Hutton    Dawson   Gallas    BAE
 
Lennon    Palacious   Modric   Bale
 
                 Crouch
 
                  Defoe
 
Possibly Bassong for Dawson and Corluka for Hutton but I would think we will line up something along those line unless Van der Vaart has had a miracle recovery.

Jenas will come in for Palacios as he's shaken off his recent injury so I believe. Hopefully Corluka gets nowhere near our team, he was awful again yesterday, doesn't get anywhere near the winger he's meant to be marking, and offers nothing going forward.

If Jenas plays I'll be amazed as he went off on tuesday night against Twente with a recurrence of his calf injury. If he does then fine I hope he continues to improve as much as he has in the last couple of games

dont know what game you were watching on tuesday as Jenas limped off with a torn hammy/calf and Vedran was one of our better players over the 90mins. Looked solid, linked up well with Lennon and played some nice though balls and despite his lack of pace does offer an attacking threat, always has done.

I think it was reported he could be back for the Blackpool game but I'm not sure we should rush him back. Just let him heal the injury and regain fitness...

Corluka n Dawson back against the Chavs  :2funny:

even if Dawson was better than Bassong (which he aint) do you really think that any manager is gonna throw him in against Chavski as his returning game after nearly 3 months off ??...... without even a 10min runout in the previous game...have a word with yourselves eh...

as for Corluka.... he aint gonna be playing unless Hutton is injured/rested from now onwards.... Corluka has been DIRE since even the Pre-Season.... will get rid in the summer..
Title: Re: Tottenham v Chelsea
Post by: PaulInRome on December 11, 2010, 10:08:19 AM
I agree it would be foolish for Dawson's first game back to be against Chelsea (and particularly Drogba). Bassong looks good to me, and while he isnàt as big and powerful as Kaboul, I think he makes less mistakes.

Very nervous about this one already. A win would be dreamland stuff again but i worry a little gap is away to open with top 4 and us. Useless f*ckin Wet Spam unable to stop 3 points off to City, i had hopes they could manage a draw.

Post by: Chelmsford_yid on December 12, 2010, 10:02:48 AM
Tottenham's Alan Hutton, Aaron Lennon and Luka Modric will be restored to the starting line-up after missing the European match with FC Twente.
Younes Kaboul faces a fitness test on his injured hip, but Niko Kranjcar and Rafael van der Vaart are out.
Chelsea welcome back Nicolas Anelka and Ashley Cole after they sat out Wednesday's defeat by Marseille.
Frank Lampard will not be rushed back from long-standing groin and tendon problems as he lacks match practice.


There was a time when a trip to Tottenham would have been the perfect tonic for Chelsea to help them out of their rut. Not so long ago the Blues enjoyed a 19-year unbeaten run in the league at Spurs, but those days of 'Three Point Lane' are long gone as Tottenham have begun to establish a hold over Chelsea of their own.

 Harry Redknapp's side have not lost at White Hart Lane against their west London rivals since 2005 and their Gareth Bale-inspired victory in April last season came perilously close to derailing Chelsea's title charge.
If the Blues are to retain their title, manager Carlo Ancelotti has to find a way of arresting their dramatic recent slump that has caught everyone by surprise. After 10 games of the season they had lost just once, scored 27 goals and conceded three times. In their last six matches they have won only once, scored a mere three times and let in eight.
Ancelotti has been bold enough to say he is genuinely worried by their form and with Manchester United and Ars*nal to come after Spurs, the heat is definitely on the normally ice-cool Italian.
Tottenham, in contrast, are flying and have taken Europe by storm, establishing themselves as the great entertainers of the Champions League group stages. This match will provide an acid test of their title credentials.

Gomes is one of the best keepers in the league. he will make the occassional blunder [don't they all], mainly because he is a highly 'individual ' character. Get off his case at least life is never dull when he's around.
Now how about focussing on the positives.
1. A couple of years ago would we have believed a month where we beat Inter, Liverpool and Ars*nal, drew with Chelsea and qualified for the knockout stages of the Champions league, and achieved all this with a team that played with passion not fuelled by rapid fire cheque book signings.
2. Daws is back!!!
3. I thought Palcious was on the improve and is not looking to far away from full form again.
4. Bae was, once again, a game saver
5. Modric was outstanding.
 
The list of positives is endless, so come on what about some Christmas cheer?
We will finish 3rd, Chelsea will stutter to 4th and Man City will self destruct

I stand by what i say puke. His reluctance, through fear costs us the victory today. I applaud his save which saved us from defeat but it was himself who put us in the precarious position in the first place was it not.?


He is fearful in certain situations and this fear/nervousness causes him to be prone to error and erraticism causing him to drop balls, fluff crosses, stab at clearances, and fail to fully commit to one on one situations which cost us in games. I also on occassion have questioned the extent of some of the injuries he "picks up" in games. surely i am not the only one who sees this?
Title: Re: Tottenham v Chelsea
Post by: Gareth Keown on December 12, 2010, 08:01:32 PM
Goalies will always make some game-changing errors.... tho the goal Gomes conceded was not 1 of them...

the true worth of a goalie is gleaned over a number of games, and for the last 2yrs now Gomes has been right up there with Sar and Reina in the Prem....

I think Big(ot)v has got his agenda on Gomes,  looking to make maximum capital about every single hint of imperfection... as for being a coward, how could anyone know what any player feels, I actually think Gomes is a pretty strong character after proving most 'experts' wrong after his early settling-in stage in the Prem..

I'm not even gonna criticise Dawson today... IMO he should have done better against Drogba and ensured a shot could never be aimed at the goal... but overall, he played well for someone who has just returned after 3months out...

a draw was a FAIR result.... Al Citeh will have some difficult games soon enough.... they will NEED a 6pt advantage at least, come 1st February... when we get the final piece of the jigsaw: the right striker

Thansk Riff, now i know what the gimp said. To accuse me of having an agenda on Gomes and then slate Dawson as you always do smacks of hyprocisy Keown. I agree with puke that a draw is a good result and if we were offered the recent run we have had a few months ago we would have taken it delightedly. I think we had some special performances all round today, all over the pitch, daws, BAE, modric, pav,Wilson, hutton to name but a few and it goes to show how far we have progressed when a side missing at least 5-6 of its best players can push chelsea all the way and be unlucky not to win it. Chelsea showed great spirit in the second half. We are not out of the race just yet. City are in turmoil. Cheers TEVvy baby you just keep stirring the pot at citeh!
Title: Re: Tottenham v Chelsea
Post by: Gareth Keown on December 12, 2010, 09:51:32 PM
Bigv, you seem to be losing your cool over a little matter of disagreement.... a guilty conscience pray tell..

and I seem to remember praising Dawson's performance over the 94mins.... hardly a slating by a gimp or any other...

but it does raise the question again does it not, of how you came to read my post, considering you have declared to have on 'ignore'..... it does suggest that maybe you iz a little fibber...

I really doubt that we had 5-6 players injured that would otherwise make the 1st XI better..... Kaboul, Jenas, Gallas.... I even suspect Kaboul is a better option to King nowadays.. as for Vaart: lets not even go there today (as I'm in a placid mood)..



Title: Re: Tottenham v Chelsea
Post by: aspursfan on December 12, 2010, 09:59:11 PM
We're lucky to have played Chelsea during their out of form period. A point against Chelsea is still a good result. It's just a little bit disappointing because it could have so easily been 3 points. At the same time it was even closer to being 0 points.

John Terry was unbelievable. What a game from him. They really are a much better team when he plays.

I also on occassion have questioned the extent of some of the injuries he "picks up" in games. surely i am not the only one who sees this?

I kind of agree with most of what you say BigV, sometimes he does seem to be shall we say reluctant and he does sometimes duck the physical side but other times he oozes class and confidence (Woolwich Wanderers at home last season in the last 20 mins). To be honest I don't see many better keepers around maybe Reina at the Scoucers and Foster at the Bluenoses, so I think we are just gonna have to hope he develops some "balls" over the coming matches.
 
As for todays match, I thought the whole back 4 played extremely well and Palacious looked like the Palacious of old getting stuck in and passing the ball well, he also had a couple of runs. I thought Dawson was fantastic especially after coming back from such a long lay off, his  reading of the game is superb. I also thought Lennon had a good game along with Modric but Bale seemed to be a bit off colour and strangely lacked pace today. Defoe looked sharp and worked hard but I thought Pav had a poor game even though he scored some of his first touches were really poor and the ball didn't seem to 'stick' to him.
 
Overall though not a bad all round performance !!!

My my! First positive post ive seen from you. *Claps* Hahaha!!

Although i gotta agree with you 100% It was a fair result although i thought our striking department could have done alot better with the chances made. I mean our chances up front we far superior to Chelskum and 1 goal out of all those is really sad for me. But nevertheless we had a go at them and they cowered in fear! Come 2nd half most of our midfield players ran out of steam especially Bale and Modders. I think Bale should be rested and let Krancjar play afew games.

Gomes did well considering he saved the penalty! But i wouldnt blame him, its really hard to be tough when a ball like drogba's traveling at 120mph gonna hit your face. Its a mental game and he lost but nevertheless he picked himself up and saved the Spot kick.

But damn it im still not satisfied with our striking department! Pav scored an awesome goal but heck.. Crouch should have killed the game with the cross from Hutton but oh well luck was not with us again~
Title: Re: Tottenham v Chelsea
Post by: aspursfan on December 13, 2010, 03:31:22 AM
You can't expect a match winning performance from Bale every single game. I suppose he's entered that category now from all the media hype. He had to do much more defending against Chelsea. We have the luxury against some teams to have him waiting for the ball that releases him for one of the headline worthy runs, but on many occasions against Chelsea he had to track back to defend. He was all over the pitch attacking and defending. You might be right about resting him after all that, but at the same time we've got Blackpool coming up and they will struggle with him and Lennon. I would think this one was more taxing than most games for him. We really need to get 3 points from Blackpool.

Title: Re: Tottenham v Chelsea
Post by: pukekohespur on December 13, 2010, 07:54:53 AM
two observations i would like to add to the discussion;
1. Gomes occasional indecisiveness may have more to do with the fact that he has never had the luxury of a settled centre back combination to build on. I think that he has done incredibly well when you take into account that as soon as we appear to be getting near to a settled central defence the injuries kick in. Gomes was looking pretty confident when Gallas and Kaboul were forming a consistent partnership.
2. Regarding Bale. He was everywhere today but he did seem to be pulling back from some of the more fiercely contested balls. This is most unlike him as he seems to have no fear normally. But he was on the recieving end of some pretty thuggish tackles early on and i think Chelsea made it quite clear how they intended to curb him. If you can't catch him then cripple him. I think he was just trying to avoid spending Christmas in hospital.

as our 2 best CMs THudd and Jenas are injured, its important to play Modric in CM...as long as he has Palacios next to him there its not too bad a scenario for home games anyway...

Bale is v.good but getting a tad over-rated now.... we can use this by allowing teams to double him up on the leftside, and attack more down the right with Lennon and Hutton (the better attacking unit)...

Great post. But i understand the complaints about Gomez, i love him as our keeper and yes i know he has the odd moment but as much as i was raging at him yesterday i have calmed down!

Great post. But i understand the complaints about Gomez, i love him as our keeper and yes i know he has the odd moment but as much as i was raging at him yesterday i have calmed down!
 
Can we all please come to some agreement about not posting quotes from the village idiot? I enjoy reading the posts until someone quotes him and wastes their time answering him.




And he was wondering how i could still read his bulls**t despite pressing the ignore button many moons ago. The fool he cant grasp this.

No one has said it yet, but i thought BAE had a brilliant game yesterday, probably our MOTM imo

Agreed. He was excellent.

I forgot to mention this. What about the header from Palacios? He almost scored a brilliant goal. Good save from Gomes as well.

nice try Sweetums.... but you have frequently responded directly to my posts which HAD NOT been quoted back in the thread, before your pathetic little responses... just 1 example of this is your rambling after I took you to task over your rabid'capitalising on every hint of imperfection' of Gomes...

how do you explain this phenomenon.... are you psyxhic as well as beautiful now ??  8)

you must be referring to Bigv namecalling again eg. fool, gimp etc...

thought Defoe was actually our motm before he went off.... his unselfish (Defoe unselfish ??!!) running off the ball into the left-channel especially was great.... shows how the striker who doesnt score can actually play a bigger role overall than the striker who does score...

I was at this game and really thought we ran out of ideas in the second half. Gomez needs to stop making such rash decisions.
