Not sure what our foration will be or if Brucey is going to drop some big names. I reckon cos its Spurs Hudd and Jake will avoid getting dropped. Though i think Jake should be dropped. Are Dawson, Greegsy and Jelavic going to start? I do think SB will stick with the 3-5-2, personally i would change it. I'm going for Haprer/Greegsy Chezz Dawson Davies Elmo Robbo Jake Hudd Diame Brady/Jelavic Hernandez I'm going for a thriller 3-2 to us.
I meant to add. I'm just reading Roy Keane's book, excellent read. In it he was saying when your a RB and in competition with another RB as to who's better you cant actually beat him as you're on opposite sides of the pitch. But with CM its you against him, you have to win that battle. Hudd and Jake should be fired up for this and to prove they're better to their replacements and to the fans. Look at what you're missing. Into em today lads.
I think he'll pick the team you've posted but I'd change it to more of a 433/451 with Elmo and Brady out wide. Is Davies definitely fit for this one?
If fit Greggs, Daws and Jels must start. Drop Abes. Play Benny off Jels. Livs and Hudds to be fully motivated and deliver.
That's the team I went for on OLM's match thread, with Brady starting up front with Jelavic in view of Hernandez's travelling (but not playing) in the International break. If Davies not fit, then should be Macca instead.
Expect we will see Dawson, McGregor, Robertson & Jelavic back in, I have a feeling SB will stick with Huddlestone and Livermore, probably the biggest decision will be whether he plays Hernandez, as you only got back Friday to training, and may go for Brady up with Jelavic. Would be happy with a draw 1-1, but with a bit of luck get the win.
Sorry I wasn't very clear, I'd change the side as well and go McGregor Rosie Chester/Davies Dawson Robertson Livermore Huddlestone Diame Elmo Jelavic Brady I do think that Chester could make a pretty good right back though if we wanted him to.
Thing is when we play the 352 and Elmo is far forward he basically becomes a RB the same happens to Davies if Robbo/Brady goes forward. I know it's only brief but it does happen
Thats the exact team I was gonna post. You can call it 433 451 or even 4231 with Diame slightly further up. Either way I'd rather see Rosenior, Elmo, Robertson and Brady on the wings than playing 352 to squeeze Hernandez or Ben Arfa in.
Cracking atmosphere in the Palace match, doubt we'll be anywhere near as loud in a few hours time. We need to be more like them deffo.
