I'd go
-----------------Lloris-------------------
Walker-----Dawson----Vertonghen--Rose
------------Sandro---Paulinho----------
---Lamela-------Holtby-------Siggy------
-----------------Soldado-----------------
I think AVB will go:
-----------------Lloris-------------------
Walker-----Dawson----Chiriches----Vertonghen
------------Sandro---Paulinho----------
---Townsend-----Holtby-----Lennon-----
-----------------Soldado-----------------
Rose isn't due back for 2 or 3 years though.
Rose isn't due back for 2 or 3 weeks though.
I thught AVB said in his press conference that Capoue, Chadli and Rose were all back and in contention, and only Eriksen wasn't available? I may have heard wrong.
You did hear wrong. Capoue, Chadli, Chiriches and Fryers all back - Eriksen 4 weeks, Rose 2-3.
4-4-2 away to City who are known to pack their midfield? i don't want to see a massacre thanks.

Silva is out so they're likely to play navas and nasri which means they won't be packing their midfield with aguero and dzecko / negredo also playing.
I say we go at their makeshift defence and have a go instead of playing one up front to make it easy for them and two defensive midfielders. I hate the way we're going into games trying not to lose instead of going to win.[/QUOTE]
I think we have to get used it now for a while now, seems to be the AVB-way, it may well gets us points we never used to get, here and there, but jeez its not good to watch.
I can see the reasoning in a lot of the away games, but its the cautious approach at home thats getting me down

Completely agree. We'll make it easy for city today though. Soldado has already showed he can't play up front on his own.
