Don't think we have enough goals in this current side so therefore I think we'll struggle.
Both really good points. I do like Smalling in the team and hope he gets a run in the team now.
Think he may be off on loan, which may explain the omission.A stable line up more or less, shall get a positive result.Does it make me a total bastard that I really want your goalie to be shite?
I don't even want Spurs to win!
I had the exact same prediction as you (you are a wise man!), including reserves.
Jones isn't even on the bench
Lets hope i remember wrong, and have McNair as a sub insteadHow will that Spurs team line up?Romero in goal will be interesting. Big risk, IMO.Why did people predict Romero would not start?
Did you think we'd go with Johnstone?@DatIrishFella
Changed Romero to Johnstone in the lineup prediction after your musings in the party last nightIan Ladyman ffsGood to see Hernandez back in the fold. Love that little guy. Still think he can contribute if given a chance.This thread the match day thread or what? Can't wait for kick off great to get up on the weekend and have proper football again!
Good team i'm happy enough should be a good game.
Because that was what the ever so reliable Ian Ladyman reported...
Just realised Wilson not there either. To pick Chica over him when he isn't fully fit? Maybe him and Januzaj out on loan.No Wilson, Januzaj or Jones on the bench Good to see both Pereira and Chicharito there though. Strong line-up, but I was hoping to see Herrera somewhere in that line-up, but ok.
Their usual lineup, Dier alongside Bentaleb with Dembele slightly ahead. Diers being used as a DM this pre season.Why is Blind playing as cb? is it because of the weird thing that we must have a left footed cb?Herrera will do what he did last season, get in through luck / injury and show hes a top midfielder for us and then stay in the team.Every time I see Romero he looks stunned to be here.
That backline is going to have trouble. Surprised Van Gaal started Romero considering how is persistent on players gelling into the squad by having enough training together.Would have preferred Herrera in midfield.
Rather than have 2 solid controllers, have one solid controller and one mobile/creative influence.
Surely Herrera can't be dropped based on merit because he was phenomenal last season?The Spurs team looks pretty average. We should definitely have enough to get past them."It's that real optimism you only get on opening day" says a man who's never posted on an interent forum.Pleasantly suprised he's gone with Smalling over Jones. Convinced it was going to be Blind and Smalling.
Kane likes to pick the ball up on the half turn on the edge of the box so hopefully Carrick and Schneiderlin can cut off that passing channel in midfield. Do that and we should be comfy.Good start. 11/11 for me. Was kind of an easy one after seeing the clip from yesterday's(?) training.
But I'm not happy with this lineup. Would have liked Herrera on the pitch.
Because Johnstone played a lot in preseason.
No I didn't....Romero has much more experience at the higher level, so it kind of makes sense.Januzaj not even on the bench, that's not surprising but at the same time it also isn't.Surprised no Januzaj. Hernandez hasn't even played a game.
It makes you a rival. I want Falcao to be absolutely shite for your lot and I actually like Falcao as a person.2 defensive midfielders at home to Spurs.
Hmmmm.
Anyway looking forward to kick off.Where the hell is Evans also?
Huh?More pressing question why is Lloris on the bench for Spurs? He's either fit or he isn't!
Why? I have seen him in every Argentina game at last year's World Cup and this years Copa America and I don't remember him doing anything wrong. They were able to reach the final in both of those competitions with him in goal so I see no reason why we can't also win games with him in goal.Januzaj must be close to a move away I'd imagine, probably to Sunderland on loan. We'd definitely sign another attacking player if he leaves. We even need another one as things stand.So nervous. Disappointed not to see Herrera starting, otherwise the lineup is as expected I guess. Just win lads!
Dont let the nomenclature blind you to what players are capable of.
A lot of talk about loaning him out, that could be why.- Status
