Team news is in and as we suspected here earlier, Andre Villas-Boas has brought Jermain Defoe into the starting line up for tonight’s game with Fulham. There’s no 4-4-2 however as Roberto Soldado drops to the bench.
There are further changes to the team which drew with Manchester United on Sunday as Etienne Capoue and Erik Lamela come in for Mousa Dembele and Nacer Chadli.
The full starting XI reads,
Lloris, Walker, Chiriches, Dawson, Vertonghen, Capoue, Sandro, Lennon, Paulinho, Lamela, Defoe.
And our subs,
Friedel, Naughton, Chadli, Holtby, Sigurdsson, Townsend, Soldado.
What do you think – has AVB got this one right or was this the perfect opportunity for Defoe and Soldado to combine up front?
NO Dembele whats he playing at why does he not play this
Lloris,
Walker, Chiriches, Dawson, Vertonghen
, Sandro, Paulinho
lennon,Dembele townsend
Soldado
Avb still hasnt worked out his best 11.
We are still experimenting in december.
This season may well have to be written off…
Where is dembele??
yeah i see that
even more convinced this clown is fucking clueless
or
Lloris,
Walker, Chiriches, Dawson, Vertonghen
, Sandro, Paulinho
lennon, townsend
Soldado defoe
Big mistake picking Defoe who is utter crap. All he does is whack the ball hard straight to the goalkeeper.
Total shock this no dembele if he gets this wrong he has got to go end off
How could AVB leave out Dembele after his excellent display against Man U on Sunday? Why Defoe? if the reports are right he is leaving at the end of December for the States
The only way Soldado is going to come good is by playing.
But then perhaps AVB is going to go all defensive against FULHAM!!I want the guy to succeed but he worries me as a Spurs supporter for the past 45 years.
dembele soldado and townsend should be on
bendtner has scored the same goals in open play as soldado now
Against Man U was the closest Spurs have been to amazing all season. So, naturally, AVB thinks it must be time for a another shake-up — back to square one.
How much longer is Daniel Levy going to carry on with this dangerous lunatic?Gus Hiddink or ANYONE else in please.
What is more annoying is that he thinks he is God’s gift to football tactics and management.
ffs gus poyet would do better job,,,,,hiddink would be good job tho,,
just watched thatfirst half ohh my way wont the ball go in for us is it a curse ,,,i bet fulham goalie man of the match…ok to win this game its simple take off the lamb and bring on townsend take off capoo bring on the dado
Dawson is a complete liability.
Cost us the 1st goal running and falling around out there like rodney trotter
agreed this clown avb tried to sell him last season now he starts most games looks way of the pace in most games now
You plonker Rodney(Dawson) yes i thought that . We were all over the place at the back against them .Some very last ditch tackles and a lot more of that AVB luck . We got three points but it was very ugly . The AVB debate goes on.
