CC: Stoke City vs. Tottenham Hotspur (Official Match Thread)

[BigDub]

We celebrate a great win over Liverpool and move on to the next one!

[dan-spur]

Is this game televised in the U.K? If so, what channel?

Thanks

[Oaks]

I'm guessing 'Arry will field the same side vs PAOK.

[Yidington]

Would have no arguments with that. Focus is on wigan IMO

[JacoZA]

Agreed. Surely we shouldn't risk injuries to the starting XI and play a full-strength team in this. Rather we play the kids (and whoever's coming back from injury) and retain our focus on the league by seeing if we can put 9 past Wigan on Saturday?

SpursOfficial - "It's good news as well as Harry hopes both William Gallas and Sandro will be fit to play in the Carling Cup 3rd round tie at the Britannia."

Tottenham Hotpsur side to face Stoke in Carling Cup could include William Gallas and Sandro - News - MirrorFootball.co.uk

Nice bit of good news to start the week.

Spurs Official: "As well as Sandro and Gallas, Harry named the likes of Gomes, Bassong, Corluka, Pav and Rafa as likely to be involved at Stoke."

We must rotate more this season, we really have an incredible midfield... hope this is true and Harry gives them all a chance

[Audere est Facere]

-----------------------Gomes----------------------
---Corluka----Bassong---Gallas-----Townsend--
---------------Carroll------Livermore-------------
---Dos Santos----------------------Falque Silva--
-------------------Kane---Pav----------------------

Something like this would be cool

or

-----------------------Gomes----------------------
---Corluka----Bassong---Gallas-----Townsend--
---------------Carroll------Livermore-------------
---Dos Santos----------------------Falque Silva--
-----------------------VDV---------------------------
---------------------Pav------------------------------

[Iconic Drei]

Good news, hopefully we see more 'squad' players rotated throughout the course of the season with games like these.

[JacoZA]

As well as Sandro and Gallas, Harry named the likes of Gomes, Bassong, Corluka, Pav and Rafa as likely to be involved at Stoke.

Hoping for this...

-----------------------Gomes----------------------
---Corluka----Bassong---Gallas-----Townsend--
---------------Livermore------Sandro-------------
---Dos Santos----------------------Falque Silva--
-----------------------VDV---------------------------
---------------------Pav------------------------------

(Bring on Kane and Carroll after 65.)

Can't wait to have Lennon, Thudd and Pienaar back to bolster these ranks even more!

[rossdfc]

Nice...much more optimistic about this game now! Don't think Stoke will play a complete first team tbh. Especially after their 4-0 loss against Sunderland.

-----------------------Gomes-----------------------

Corluka-------Gallas------Bassong------Townsend

---------------------Sandro-------------------------

Prediction: Stoke 1-2 Spurs

[Musashi]

I'd like to see Coulibaly and Ceballos play as well, but then again this is Stoke.

[Audere est Facere]

what are the odds on crouch scoring against us if he plays?
