we will lose, sorry lads
Because he's knackered and playing like brick.
Damn you still don't seem to get it. When you play your close rivals, away from home, who are known to play a 4-5-1 variation AND who need to win the game faaaaaar more than we do you don't go there playing 4-4-2. You comparing that to a home game vs Stoke is insane to me.
YOU dont get it. I dont believe in the home and away myth.
I started a thread on it the other day, and there was some pretty good debate. I asked specifically for your opinion, but you didnt take part, or see the thread.
Home/Away personally, I couldnt care less. We either have the players for a system, or we dont...I couldnt give two sh#ts what stadium we are are playing in.
By the way, I wouldnt play 442 either in this match....but thats got NOTHING to do with being away
I didn't see your thread. If I saw it I would have responded. You don't believe in the home/away fact(not myth....fact) that's really up to you but why would you not play 4-4-2 if that's your prefered formation may I ask( I think I know the answer but still)?
well get this. things ARE different when you play away from home, whether you believe it or not
i dont know everything but i know my statement is fact.
Based on our abysmal record there, our terrible away form and Chelsea's improvement, it's hard to disagree.
Nothing to discuss then is there. If you are happy with that, then be happy with it. You dont have to try and force feed it to me, to make yourself feel better. Im comfortable that you disagree with me.

All assuming Ade and Lennon don't make it of course.
A solid 5 in midfield when defending and then attack through Modders, Bale and Krunchie linking up with VdV.
Stick Jake in there for a bit of pride and passion, Parker needs to be dropped/rested.
Probably our most gifted technical player up front with plenty of support from Bale/Modric/Krunchie...hopefully!
Expecting to lose as usual but it's a London derby so 2-1 to Spurs.
You actually want to go there without a striker on the pitch?
Yes.
VdV has an eye for goal has he not?
Better than Saha, Ade not fit and Defoe not good enough technically.
