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.

Macca and Bruce just arent big enough to handle Adebayor bob thats why I'd play him. We are weak as piss at corners.
 
Bruce said in his presser that Brady's available to start so I'd go for

Harper
Rosy Davies Bruce Fig
Elmo Huddlestone Quinn Brady
Long Jela
 
I wonder if huddlestone could play right back to ping 60 yard balls

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

Doyle scores on his debut too.
 
Newcastle 0-2 Sunderland

Sunderland are above us as it stands
 
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.
