Match Spurs vs Fulham (a) 04.12.13

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Can't let them get into the game early. They'll be roaring out of the gates, got to remind them early that they have been shit all season and are still shit even though they have a new manager.
 
This was AVB's injury update on 22nd November

“Danny Rose is still out but making good progress on his injury so we’re looking for a two or three-week period now finally for his return,” said the head coach.

“[Christian] Eriksen is obviously out, hopefully only for four weeks, due to his injury for Denmark. The rest of the team is back in training – [Vlad] Chiriches, [Nacer] Chadli, Etienne [Capoue] and now Zeki Fryers. All of the team is in contention to be selected for the game [against Manchester City].
 
[formation="433, Lloris, Walker, Chirches, Vertonghen, Fryers, Dembele, Sandro, Holtby, Lamela, Soldado, Siggy"][/formation]

Why not give Fryers a run out. Let Vertonghen take a game off LB just to show that only when we are desperate he plays LB. Give Paulinho a break, he's played many, many minutes. I'd like to see Holtby play but in a less advanced position. For me, against United, Sandro, Dembele, and Paulinho played as a flat three with Sandro moving slightly backward if needed and either Dembele or Paulinho stepping up if needed. I'd like to see Holtby in that same role to get the ball moving quicker. I'd like to see Lamela get the start and play well. I'd be fine with another striker playing but I just want Soldado to score so i'm willing to keep throwing him out there. Chadli or Siggy doesn't matter too much to me. I don't want to see Townsend start. For me, we are going to be dominating possession and be in their half for most of the game, that fits Chadli, Siggy, and or Lamela far batter than Townsend.

The exact line up I want. Perhaps rest Sandro throw KA-POO in there but if it doesnt happen wont be too upset

Yes - Lamela in for Chadli. Him and Lennon can alternate on the wings, etc.

I wouldn't mind Fryers in this game with Jan moving inwards to steady the ship - Dawson has played 3 FULL games in a row and needs a break - in addition to showing poor form in general

I haven't seen much of Fryers to be fair so it's not fair to judge him, you're probably right about Dawson needing a rest, although Fulhams attack isn't exactly known for being pacey with Berbatov up front so I can't see the problem with him playing. (I'm a big Dawson fan as well so I'm probably very biased when it comes to him)
