Formation/line up for tomorrow?

if he goes 4-4-2 it will be an arsenal all over again and we will lose heavily
=================

we were 2-2 with them in the first hald with 4-4-2

------

Yes 2 2 but lucky to be not losing heavily. Even when we were 2 0 up I wasn't sure how we were not losing. When do u ever see teams play 4 4 2 away at big teams and get points. Never. United never do. City don't. Chelsea and arsenal don't. If we play 4 4 2 we will get put away. Not sure why people can't see this. Our best area is midfield and Chelsea worst area is midfield. So we basically be going with one less in there sacrifice that advantage. I hope Harry has learnt from his mistakes at the emirates

Mr Neutral here with my two pennyworth.

It seems to me the continual chopping and changing of the back four every other game is hurting Spurs badly. Surely if Ledley King cannot play two successive games then it has to be time to leave him out for good. At this time of the season a settled back four is an absolute essential ingredient of any successful side. And Harry as an experienced manager should know that it is an absolutely fundamental rule to get the defence sorted first.

======================

i wouldnt disagree with that.

we DID get stuffed in the 2nd half though. our midfield was also dominated by chelsea at the lane when we played sandro and parker.

i just dont see why it would work if we tried it again ?

i would rather modric played in the middle with instructions to work hard defensively.

Sandro and Parker were too immobile against a pacey arsenal side. Chelsea are a much slower more physical outfit

====================

i think he does. that's why he has told the team not to foul anyone

we havent really been changing the back 4 though thats the thing. the full backs have played almost every game and most games the centre backs have been king and kaboul. the trouble is that noone seems to know what their role is, the positioning's bad, the reading of the game's bad, the centre backs arent closing anyone down or picking anyone up and they're too slow. apart from that, there's not been a problem.

they hardly touched the ball in the 2nd half against chelsea. im sticking with :

walker kaboul gallas benny

someone sandro modric bale

i think harry must have bought falque as lennon's reserve

Harry has just lost focus and this has gone through to the players. Simple. That's why the same back 6 inc parker at dm we have had all season suddenly look shocking

Maybe in the league games, but Harry must have changed the two central defenders every game for the past half a dozen including cup games. Not good. The season is now coming to the boil, and the same team needs to take to the pitch where possible whether league or cup. Just my opinion though.

what's interesting is that both sets of fans seem to be talking themselves out of it. i look at the chelsea line up and think - 'woah that looks good'. they talk about it though as if it's the west ham teamsheet theyre looking at.

if the teams of got anything like the same attitude, maybe we could be in for a bit of a cagey first half ?
