***OMT*** Tottenham Hotspur vs Norwich

AberYid

Steven Caulker
TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR vs NORWICH​
Saturday September 14th
15:00
Live from The Lane

Lloris
Walker Kaboul Vertonghen Rose
Paulinho Sandro
Lamela Eriksen Townsend
Soldado

Subs: Friedel, Dawson, Naughton, Dembele, Holtby, Lennon, Defoe

A massive game, which could see several débutantes, a new attacking link up, and a hell of a lot of good football.

I gave us our opening win, and I give you this: the game which starts our transformation.

5-0 Spurs.

You have 10 days to tear this thread apart. But when we beat them, remember, it will be our first home league win against Norwich since 1995, thank me later.

The entire world, sort of anyway, is waiting to see Eriksen but you want to drop him already ? Surely, he has to start. Our entire season is relying on how he and Lamela perform.

Failing to beat Norwich home or away was one of the main reason why we failed to qualify for CL last season. Hope we will beat them this season.
 
I will go with


----------------Lloris------------------
Walker-Kaboul--Vertonghen-Rose
-------Paulinho--Dembele--------
Lamela------Holtby------Eriksen
--------------Soldado-------------

Let's get some high-tempo pass-and-move games going in this match. Play it with high energy and display some "fun" while playing the game.

AVB has a history of introducing players slowly, I doubt Eriksen will start, likely bench option

Same team as Amor, except it's Kaboul or Dawson

Bench = Brad, Vlad, JD, Eriksen, Chandli, Naughton

Interesting question is what is the plan for Ade, now that we haven't sold him?

Like when he started Soldado, Chadli and Paulinho against Palace, and brought Capoue on after less than an hour?

How can you drop someone that hasn't played yet?

Everything depends on who gets injured on international duty.

EL game coming up the following week, but that one is MUCH easier than this one.

Norwich (H)
Tromsø (H - EL)
Cardiff (A)
Villa (A - COC)
Chelsea (H)
Anzhi (A - EL)
West Ham (A)

This is our run before the next break. Good chance to give everyone a run out and try to work out our best XI before the Chelski game.

Most of the team picks itself apart from the attacking trio that will surround Soldado, so for this one I expect:

------------ Lloris
Walker Dawson Vertonghen Rose
------ Dembele Paulinho
Townsend Eriksen Chadli or anyone from Lamela, Holtby, Sigurdsson
----------- Soldado

Subs: Friedel, Naughton, Kaboul, Lamela, Holtby, Sigurdsson, Defoe

Most of our bench will probably start against Tromsø.
 
Like when he started Soldado, Chadli and Paulinho against Palace, and brought Capoue on after less than an hour?

Sometimes he has little choice, like with Dembele and Dempsey last season. With Bale on strike and most of last season's midfield leaving who else could he have picked? Now that he has options he will probably make more considered choices, but some players adapt quicker than others.

Drop? Don't you have to have started at some point to be dropped? Holtby has played well enough recently to warrant a start, Eriksen can come on as a late sub.

Townsend Eriksen Chadli or anyone from Lamela, Holtby, Sigurdsson

Most of our bench will probably start against Tromsø.

You'd drop Sandro from the squad completely? I think there's a good chance he'll start this one, possibly ahead of Dembele, who perhaps isn't 100% fit yet.

We need at least 1 and preferably 2 of Holtby, Lamela and Eriksen in the starting line up for this one imo.

Chiriches, Siggy, Naughton, Ade all don't make bench. Wow

Tottenham Hotspur host Norwich City at White Hart Lane on Saturday 14th September 2013 (KO 15:00) in the 4th round of the 2013-14 Premier League season.

Spurs come into the match in 6 place in the table on 6 points with the Canaries in 9th place on 4 points.

This will be the 81st time the two teams have met.

Norwich City were founded in 1902 by three former Norwich Church of England Young Men's Society players. The club lost their amateur status in 1905 and joined the Southern League shortly afterwards.

The first meeting between Spurs and Norwich came in April 1906 in the Southern League and the East Anglian club won 4-1 at White Hart Lane. The reverse fixture at Newmarket Road was won by Spurs 3-0. Vivian Woodward scored three goals for Spurs against Norwich that season.

The clubs met for two further seasons in the Southern League, resulting in two wins for Norwich, a win for Spurs and a drawn match.

Spurs joined the Football League for season 1908-09 and the next meeting with Norwich came in the old second round (today's fourth round) of the FA Cup in January 1915 at "The Nest" in Rosary Road, resulting in a 3-2 win for the Canaries.

Four friendlies were played between 1916 and 1925 with Spurs winning two games, Norwich one and one drawn game.

The first Football League meeting between the two clubs came in the Second Division in December 1935 with Spurs winning 2-1 at the Lane, while Norwich won the reverse fixture 1-0 in April 1936 at their new home in Carrow Road.

The clubs met for a further three seasons in Division Two resulting in four wins for Spurs and two for Norwich.

During World War Two, Spurs & Norwich played two matches in the Football League South.

An FA Cup fifth round match in February 1959 ended in a 1-1 draw at White Hart Lane and Norwich pulled-off a 'giant killing' act by beating Spurs 1-0 in the replay at Carrow Road.

The first meeting in the Top Flight of English Football came in October 1972 when a Martin Chivers goal at Carrow Road wasn't enough to prevent a 2-1 win for Norwich.

The clubs contested the 1973 Football League Cup Final at Wembley and a Ralph Coates goal was enough to bring the silverware to White Hart Lane.

Martin Chivers scored a brace in Tottenham's 3-1 win against Norwich in the reverse First Division fixture at the Lane a week later.

The clubs met regularly in Division One from season 1973-74 to 1991-92 with honours being generally even.

Both Spurs and Norwich were founder members of the Premier League in 1992-93, but the Canaries lost their top flight status after the 1994-95 season and returned for one season in 2004-05. Spurs won 6 of the 10 Premier League matches played with Norwich winning twice and two drawn games.

The clubs met in a pre-season friendly at Carrow Road in July 2008 with Darren Bent scoring four goals in a 5-1 Spurs win.

The fixture at Carrow Road in December 2011 resulted in a rather comfortable 2-0 away win for Spurs, thanks to a brace of goals scored by Gareth Bale in the 55th and 67th minutes. Things were rather different for the reverse fixture at White Hart Lane in April 2012 with Spurs losing 1-2 to Norwich. Jermain Defoe scored for Spurs with Anthony Pilkington and Elliott Bennett netting for the Canaries in a match which would prove vital for Tottenham's Champions League qualification chances.

During the Summer of 2012, former Spurs player and assistant manager Chris Hughton was appointed Norwich manager, Cameroon defender Sebastien Bassong moved from Spurs to Norwich for a £3,750,000 transfer fee and Spurs striker Harry Kane joined Norwich on a season's loan.

The Premier League match at White Hart Lane in September resulted in a 1-1 draw with Mousa Dembele putting Spurs ahead after 68 minutes only for Robert Snodgrass to score a late equaliser with just five minutes remaining.

The clubs met in the 4th Round of the Football League (Capital One) Cup at Carrow Road at the end of October and Gareth Bale put Spurs ahead in the 66th minute. An own goal from Jan Vertonghen, who deflected an Alex Tettey shot, levelled matters after 84 minutes and Norwich progressed to the 5th Round through a Simeon Jackson goal three minutes later.

The game at White Hart Lane in January 2013 ended with honours even after a 1-1 draw. Wes Hoolahan put the visitors ahead after 32 minutes but a stunning solo goal from Gareth Bale ten minutes from time shared the points.

Overall, Spurs have won 34, Norwich have won 24 and 22 of the 80 matches between the two clubs have been drawn.

How good do you think he is? He has played in the dutch league, this is totally different. He has never been in the team, so how is he getting dropped if he doesn't start?
