This is the 1 game I wouldn't start Wisdom. I think we will need the pace of Johnson and Enrique in the FB's to counteract Bale and Lennon. Wisdom is fast but I don't think he has the greatest acceleration in the world.

I expect Sandro to sit just in front of their back 4 and try to pick up suarez when he tries to pick up pockets of space to gather possession.

Spurs are definitely shaky at the back, particularly Vartonghen at LB who will hopefully struggle against the pace of Sterling.

Yeah i struggled with that very point too Maxi, but in the end I opted for Enrique causing some havoc in their defense thereby releasing Suarez from the very bind you mentioned and also Sterling who will also be closely watched. I just feel if we can get in among them at the back we can upset them. I fully accept your concern around Wisdom, but nothing ventured, nothing gained, and the possibility of taking 3 points here is just too good for me to resist.

I agree with Maxi about Bale and Lennon's pace. Enrique and Johnson need to focus on containing them. If we can't get a goal by the 60th minute, I say throw on Hendo for Shelvy or Allen so stevie can get forward, Wisdom for Assaidi and move Enrique forward, and around the 75th/80th minute Suso for Stevie (who will probably be knackered) for that creative spark. So long as Agger can contain Defoe and our fullbacks contain Bale and Lennon, I think we have a decent shot at this. We do well against AVB, and Spurs are much weaker now. That said it won't be a cakewalk. I predict a 1-1 draw, but I could see us nicking the 3 points.

If he plays cole or downing OR BOTH then he can f off!

We'll be fine as long as Henderson doesn't play. Tottenham are a good team and we'll need 11 players out there. No room for passengers tonight.

I will go with 2-1 win. I think the team will be very similar to the Swansea game.

I'd go with a 3 5 2 of

Obviously this chances to a 5 3 2 when defending and maybe even a 3 3 4 when attacking with Johnson and Enrique in the wing positions.

I'd bring on Assaidi tonight to give him a run at Vertonghen who in my opinion is shaky and is a CB not a LB. I have a feeling Assaidi could start tonight as he wasn't involved in the last 2 (Swansea and Young Boys) and I think he's only played in 3 league games all season.

Also heard he wasn't a Rodger's signing and that we had him lined up before Rodgers appointment so this might explain why he's not getting any games.

Plus he probably cost more than Rogers was allowed to spend as condition for offering hil job!

Disagree completely as I think he will help us keep possession in midfield
