Even if we lose on Saturday - our next 6-7 games are reasonably 'easy' - we should keep perspective and remember what happened last year
Friedel
Walker Kaboul Vertonghen BAE
Livermore Sandro
Lennon Sigurdsson Bale
Defoe
Subs.Cudicini,Gallas,Gio,Jenas,VDV,Kane,Townsend
Sorry, 2-0 defeat Sandro wont be able hold the Saudi Sportswashing Machine midfield on his own
Bassong on the bench over Dawson and Caulker? uhhhh
Bassong on the bench over Dawson and Caulker? uhhhh
Anyone would think I was blonde. Totally forgot about them both. Dawson no idea why, Caulker probably becuase he hadnt featured in pre-season.
So yes, scratch Bassong for sure, but couldnt tell you which of those two and Gallas will miss out.
@ Volspur. Personally I would have Livermore over Jenas, but I feel AVB wont. Regards Gio, I would have put him on the bench but I dont even think he has trained with us yet, so I doubt he'll make the bus/plane
How about Hudd?
Well with no team news I'll say:
---------------- Friedel ----------------
Walker -- Kaboul - Vertong -- Ekotto
---------- Sandro -- Livermore --------
- Lennon ------------------------- Bale -
------------- VDV ------------------------
------------------ Defoe -----------------
Subs: Cudicini, Dawson, Naughton, Rose, Thudd, Siggy, Kane
Made a couple of changes based on what we've been hearing about AVB's opinion of Thudd.
I like Naughton, and would really like the idea of him in the squad
