    Think we all want 4 at the back but maybe 3 might work against one of the big clubs as we will probably go back to having 40% possession.

    I'd go 4-4-2

    Harper
    Rosy Faye Davies Figgy
    Elmo Hudd Meyler Quinn
    Jelavic Long

    If 3-5-2
    Harper
    Faye Bruce Davies
    Elmo Figgy
    Hudd Quinn Meyler
    Long Jelavic


    Think we need Faye's presence for corners at both ends. Hoping for a 2-1 win. Both forwards to open their account.

    MATCH FACTS

    Head-to-head
    Tottenham have won their only two Premier League games at Hull - the last game in Yorkshire ended 5-1 to Spurs, with Jermain Defoe netting a hat-trick.
    Spurs won the reverse fixture this season thanks to a late Roberto Soldado penalty.
    Hull City
    Hull have gone four league games without either a goal or a point since putting six past Fulham.
    They have earned nearly four times as many points from their 11 home league games (18) than in 12 away fixtures (five points).
    The Tigers, along with Cardiff, have had the fewest shots on target in the league this season (71).
    George Boyd is the most used substitute in the division this season (15 times).
    New signing Nikica Jelavic has failed to score in any of his 11 Premier League appearances this term.
    Tottenham
    Only Arsenal (26) have earned more points on their travels than Tottenham (25) this season, with the Gunners having played one game more.
    Spurs have won their last five away league games, their best run since 1960. However, their last clean sheet on the road was seven games ago, on 3 November.
    Soldado's decisive penalty in the corresponding fixture on 27 October was his fourth league goal of the season; he's scored just once in 10 Premier League appearances since.
    In contrast, Emmanuel Adebayor has scored five goals in his last seven league games.
    Spurs have won nine of their 11 games against bottom-half opposition (D1, L1).

    Not big Abdi Chazz, Spuds are a mobile team, Christ they'd be pulling him one way to the other so quick it'd tear his legs off.

    Harper
    Rosey - Davies - Figueroa
    Thudd - Meyler
    Elmo - Boyd - Quinn
    Fryatt - Long

    Macca and Bruce just arent big enough to handle Adebayor bob thats why I'd play him. We are weak as piss at corners.

    Nevermind it's not the super Bowl until tomorrow

    Like that squad with Brady

    Not comfortable with a back 3 of mcshane and bruce as I said before

    Bruce was the worst player on the pitch at Palace, bu he'll probably still start.

    I wouldn't mind seeing Faye start today.

    Cracking goal from Danny Ings, great cross too. Surprised no one came in for him.

    Doyle scores on his debut too.

    Palace went for him, but Burnley wanted £8m.

    Sunderland will stay up, they're improving all the time.

    Cardiff, Fulham, West Ham, Swansea, WBA & Norwich are the teams more in it for me.

    Don't know how I feel about today, 4 defeats on the spin makes one a bit edgy, when otherwise I'd have maybe fancied us to upset Tottenham at home, in this **** weather.
