I think this is how AVB will set us out
Only 10?
Isn't that showing off?

"Tottenham is physically the best team in Europe at the moment, unfortunately for Inter", Costacurta to Sky Italy
Typical comment from a Milan stalwart. Nice to read though
And maybe we run out a load of kids.
Hell no, I want us to win the EL and fnish 3rd, that would be a great season
If we win this tie, does that knock our UEFA co-efficient high enough to make the CL second pot? Or is it already there?
And maybe we run out a load of kids.
I realy think we should play a B kind of team.
I dont care if its Inter, we can meet em next year in the CL.
And we have only 3 days after Inter before Liverpool game and the same before the Fulham game.
We realy need 3 points against Liverpool and Fulham.
The team I would play would be:
------------------Friedel----------------
Walker----Kaboul----Gallas-----Naughton
Lennon----Livermore---Caulker---Holtby
-------------Dempsey---Obika(or Defoe if Obika cant play in CL)
I also think Bale should be rested for this one (first leg at least) - I worry we'd burn him out as we have 5-6 extremely tough PL fixtures coming up
Agree with that, though Messi seems to play every game for Barca. I do think we need to bring in a naturally left sided player in the summer now that Bale is playing centrally. We look a bit unbalanced with Siggy there
Coutdown to affy wonky post...
10, 9, 8, 7, 6.....
I think Holtby, Sig and Dempsey all do a good job there.
I wouldn't mind a bit of rotation, but I just don't see AVB making those kinds of changes. He didn't rest a lot of players in the group stages, nor against Lyon. Why start when we've progressed?
I don't think Kaboul is quite ready to start yet, perhaps the second leg. Could see Caulker, Gallas, Naughton (for Walker, Ekotto was rested against Wham), Livermore, Holtby, Dempsey (if fit) and Defoe come into the side. That wouldn't make us much weaker actually, as most of those have gotten quite a few games this season and been somewhat close to being regular starters at times. But Caulker in midifield, Obika starting etc. That's just not going to happen imo.
