**** TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR vs Swansea Rovers FC ****** Official Match Thread

Last week it was the same team and they had Modric as a right winger. ](*,)


It's all about the:

-------------Friedel

Walker--Gallas--Kaboul--BAE

---Parker--Sandro--Modric

----vdV--------------Bale

-------------Ade

Yup that's what it will be and i really fancy a good win
 
Isolated FC

That team your crowing about is good man for man but lacks support going forward IMO. For it to work one of the 3 centre mids would have to offer support in the final third and I can't see any of them doing that. Modric needs to chip in.

Agree. I would usually prefer Lennon in for Sandro, for the exact reason you mention - that Modric doesn't get forward enough (though today I'm happy not throwing in an unfit Lennon out of desperation).

The key to making it work will be playing possession football in their half of the pitch, so that whole CM trio can come forward as a unit. It's how this formation was effective against Norwich and Swansea in December, and Bolton in midweek.
 
Parker and Sandro must stay deep and protect

They can leave the attacking to the quality ball players
 
would have preferred livermore to sandro in this one based off current form, but other than that this looks to be the right line up.

suited to break up play and maintain a little more possession in midfield, saving lennon to come on for tired legs (VdV) with about 30 to go.
