Team for Spurs, injuries, game tactics thread

[FPT]

I think Scotty Parker will be involved.

----------------------Stockdale------------------------
Riether-------Heitinga---------Hangeland----Amorebieta
------------------------Diarra---------------------------
---------------Sidwell--------Parker--------------------
Dejagah--------------------------------------Richardson
---------------------Rodallega--------------------------

Subs: Stekelenburg, Riise, Kvist, Kasami, Kacaniklic, Roberts, Woodrow.

Keep it tight in the middle, where Eriksen/Kane/Sigurdsson/Chadli, will look to work in. Catch them on the counter out wide.

I'd like to see this as well in the absence of Holtby. I just fear we'll see Sidwell and Parker instead without either Diarra or Kvist behind them. We need that holding player.

Kvist Sidwell
Kasami Roberts Richardson

Dejagah to come on in 2nd half, Diarra instead of Kvist if fit

[Forever Fulham]

Parker can't keep up.  And he gets bossed.  And he telegraphs everything he is about to do.  I love his character and determination though.

[SimpleTactics]

Well, if Ashcan comes on and scores, or generally shows his class in helping us get a result, I won't care about what happens in the summer.

Well, he could be bought from us anyway, but if we are still in the Prem it gives a chance of keeping him.

Are you suggesting that our players should avoid playing well in case they attract the attention of other clubs!

No I'm not suggesting that at all!
I'm saying that I agree that 'Spurs' will try and nick him from us probably along with a couple of our bright young prospects. The bar stewards just cant leave us alone!!!!!

If Ashkan goes to spurs, Holtby and Dawson (or Kabul) can come the other way? See if we can get Chadli or Dembele on a season long lone too eh?

I wouldn't want Dawson anywhere near our team.

[IranianCottager]

Assuming Diarra and Mitroglou aren't fit, which is likely:
------------------------Stockdale-------------------------
-Riether---------Heitinga---Hangeland---Amorebieta-
--------------------------Kvist----------------------------
-----------------Parker---------Sidwell------------------
---Kasami--------------------------------Richardson---
------------------------Rodallega------------------------

Bench:
Stekelenburg, Riise, Karagounis, Dejagah, Roberts, Kacaniklic, Bent

[Arthur]

Without Holtby, it looks as if we'll depend heavily on Dejagah, if he starts, to provide a creative spark.

To this end, I can see Roberts getting half-an-hour. Maybe Magath will be bolder still and play him from the outset.

Spuds injury list:-

M Dembele Hip/Thigh Injury 19th Apr 14   
    S Ranieri Calf/Shin Injury 26th Apr 14   
    M Dawson Hamstring Injury no return date   
    R Soldado Hamstring Injury 26th Apr 14   
    J Vertonghen Ankle/Foot Injury 26th Apr 14   
    K Walker Groin/Pelvis Injury no return date   
    E Capoue Ankle/Foot Injury no return date   
    E Lamela Back Injury no return date

[JackyFulham90]

I reckon the team Magath picks will be

                    Stockdale
Riether Heitinga Hangeland Amorebieta
                    Sidwell Parker
Dejagah             Kasami          Richardson
                               Rodallega

Subs - Stekelenburg,  Riise, Kvist, Diarra, Roberts, Bent, Woodrow

[Burt]

Dembele will be available, he played 90mins for their reserves during the week...

[Rhys Lightning 63]

Dembele will be available, he played 90mins for their reserves during the week...

Mitroglou did the same. So expect Dembele to miss the world cup

[H4usuallysitting]

Didn't Dembele suffer with his hip when he played for the Superior team in White

[ChesterTheTabby]

Quite a list... too bad their team is still a wonderfully talented group.

[Brede Butter Pudding]

Dembele will be back, but those injures will really weaken their defence.

We all know how good their attacking players are (Eriksen, Adebayor etc.) but I expect we'll see Naughton, Rose and possibly Fryers all starting in defence. None of those players are what I would consider 'top 4' or top 6 players, however highly you think of Spurs as a team, and so I think with Richardson, Dejagah and Rodellega showing some form we can have a go at them.

[General]

I say rest Diarra for this one. We need him for the run in. His addition the last two games has made it abundantly clear what we have been missing in the middle of the park this season.

what are you talking about, THIS IS the run in.. we need him and our best available team now. One thing is for sure, Rodallega wont be as effective against Tottenham, which considering he scored and did little else against Norwich means I hope Bent is played.

[General]

------------------------Stockdale-------------------------
-Riether---------Heitinga---Hangeland---Amorebieta-

-----------------Parker---------Sidwell------------------
---Kasami--------------------------------Richardson---
------------------------Rodallega------------------------

Bench:
Stekelenburg, Riise, Karagounis, Dejagah, Roberts, Kacaniklic, Bent

I would go with this but I would put Diarra instead of Parker (who I don't rate) and Bent instead of Rodallega. And I would put Diarra where you have Kvist here and Kvist into where Parker's placed.

Can we not just give Pulis a call and get Spurs starting 11 from him ? :)

[Fulham76]

Lets hope they don't come & take Holtby back from us.

[Admin]

They still have enough quality to rip us to pieces, if they decide to turn up. Unfortunately, I've got a feeling they will.

[The Rock]

Very worrisome - historically Fulhamish that the more injured players for the other team the worse we do. Fact - everytime someone is there for the taking we roll over.
