Friedel; Naughton, Caulker, Vertonghen, Assou-Ekotto; Huddlestone, Parker, Lennon, Bale, Sigurdssonl; Dempsey Gomes, Walker, Townsend, Livermore, Dembele, Dawson, Obika
Thought so Not too pleased about this team to be honest. No proper striker and Sig and Hudd have been below par this year.
Both teams have Dawson on the bench. Is that allowed? Commentators suggesting that we've just given Defoe the weekend off. Odd if it's true.
Teams tend to lose matches when they don't play any strikers. That's what we will find today I think.
I've always classified him as a CAM - someone who'll play off the striker. That's what he did at Fulham and it worked - he is not an out and out striker in my book.
Bizarre team. Obviously doesn't care about the cups, shame it's one good draw away from a QF and a team like Spurs are probably good enough to go all the way.
Certain players have to be rested at some point though. I'm surprised we didn't see one of bale or Lennon left out today too. Whatever one's view is on Dempsey, he was bought as a striker. So technically we're not short. - what have I been going on about for so long? We don't need anyone in this transfer window.....
