Formation vs Arsenal

[tottenhamtut]

This is a tough one to call, should we stick with 5 in midfield to try and dominate the middle of the park, or go to the 4-4-2 we've all been calling for?

Also, for the first time in what feels like forever, we could have a real struggle to decide who plays in defense with Woodgate, King, Corluka, Hutton, Bale all presumably fit.

For me i would go with:

----------------------Gomes---------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------
Hutton----------King----------Woodgate--------Bale
--------------------------------------------------------
---------------------Huddlestone----------------------
--------------------------------------------------------
Bentley----------------------------------------Lennon
---------------------------------------------------------
------------------------Modric-------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------
---------------Bent---------------Pavlyuchenko-------

Subs: Cesar, Corluka, BAE, Jenas, O'Hara, Dos Santos, Campbell

Or potentially bring in Jenas over Bent and go to the same formation as played against Bolton.

i'm thinking something similar to sunday, but bring woody in for corluka (or king if he can't play) and bale left back. perhaps play 4-4-2 with modric playing jus behind pav. Need to go for it. Thats how hull managed to win there, didn't sit back and try to soak up the pressure for 90 mins, need to go out for the win and playing attcking football.

[Toddenham]

Don't forget that Bale got banned for a few matches.

[bazzabelfast]

for me it has to be
----------------------------------gomez-------------------------------
--hutton ----------woodgate------------ king -------------bale-----


------------modric ---------------------huddlestone ---------------
---bentley -------------------------------------------------lennon---

------------------------pavva --------------bent --------------------

subs , giovanni ,campbell , okotto , o,hara ,zokora jj a few impact players to throw on there if the brown stuff hits the windy thing !

[tottenhamtut]

He was only out for the one match i do believe.

[yid_for_life]

yea i thought that aswell. dawson got a 3 match ban but bale was only the 1. not sure a bout pav and bent playing together, but then again it was ramos who decided they can't play together so who knows maybe jus bit more time

[CaliforniaTottenham]

I hate to say it, but I think we've got to have Jenas in. 2 reasons...

1) He's been here for so long, that Arseholes have gotten under his skin. He is going to come out firing and super mad, ready to stomp the scum.

2) It sort of seemed like he hated playing in the teams that Ramos would pick, I think playing under an Englishman will finally light a fire under his a**.

Sanchez?
Hutton King Woodgate Chorluka/Bale?
Bently Jenas Modric Lennon
Bent/Campbell? Pav

Kind of tired of Gomes' bull sh**. Although, this week may not be a good time to experiment with a new goal keeper.
I really hope Bale can play, he'd be instrumental in the attack.

[Hollicks Hotspurs]

For me id keep it exactly the same as on Sunday but if king cannot play then woodgate to come in and replace him

[Hollicks Hotspurs]

Oh yeh and along with Bale left back BAE looks a bit of a liability

[DamoSuzuki]

Gomes
Hutton Woodgate King Bale
Huddlestone
Bentley Jenas O hara
Modric
Bent/Pav

Id leave lennon on the bench so he could come on as an impact sub. O hara likes to get stuck in and the gooners don't like that.

[LukaModric2010]

for me its
gomes
hutton-----king--------woody-------bale
-------------jenas--o hara------------
bentley-----------------------------gio
--------------------------modric
------------pav

To ensure a point play all 10 outfield players just infront of gomez for 90 mins barracading the entire goal!!!

exactly!
just go for it and take the game to them, if they get into their stride we are f*cked.

oh and bale is only banned for 1 game.

the famous tottenham team coach - mourinho said this ?

[kingspurs]

i think definetly modric behind pav with bent as second half sub, it was nice bringing his pace on to pitch in second half
