Fast start needed tomos a nice early goal will settle us all down
Brad
walker billy caulker/verts BAE
Lennon sandro sig/lmore Bale
VDV
Defoe
Not sure about verts with gallas as neither has great pace, think verts and kaboul could be good, but maybe caulker tomorrow with gallas, hes rapid. Not seen enough of sig to know if he could play in a midfeild 2 but seems to be a bit more mobile than vdv and works harder , if not dont think livermore did much wrong last time out so stick with him, but for me VDV must start, addy to come on after about an hour

cant drop defoe just yet, ade hasnt had a pre season need a bit training imo, i think vdv will have to start as without modric no one apart from vdv can spread the ball wide for bale lennon at a good tempo. Modric cant play surely

STB his still our player,we pay his wages.
His being a Noob at the moment,I,d get sandro to give him a few slaps.

I expect
Friedel
Walker
Gallas
Vert
Benny
Sandro
Livermore (think AVB rates him a lot)
Lennon
Sig
Balle
Ade
To come on
VDV for Sig at some point. don't like these rumours floating around about VDV leaving to be honest.....
Personally I'd like to see VDV in there instead of Livermore with VDV pushing Sig back to Livermore's position. Sandro can be the human sheild more than effectively by himself

Agreed Bahamas, I thought all the VDV - Hamburg stuff had been put to bed long ago. Hope he stays.

I think Ade will be on the bench and get the last 30 hasnt played any football for months so unless he's been amazing in practice games and general training he'll have to be eased into the side

I reckon AVB may keep Defoe in the starting line up an bring Ade on as a sub as he hasn't played any pre-season etc.
I reckon AVB will play:
Brad
Walker Gallas Verts BAE
Sandro Livermore
Lennon Sigurdsson Bale
Defoe
Although I'd start VDV instead of Siggy, and possibly Caulker ahead of Gallas...
