I like the look of that. Apart from the fact the back 4 contains Steinsson, Knight and Robbo by default...I thought we were past that!
I'd also consider M. Davies in Tuncay's place. But I would like to see Tuncay play with Klasnic, they seem to get on, might be something in that.

I would stick with 442 personally, but crucially play Tuncay ahead of KD.

We need some movement when we have the ball. The team is far too rigid at the moment and that makes us predictable. Tuncay has the football brain and will hopefully play 'in between the lines'. I would play Steinsson right back and Alonso hopefully at left back.

We need to think about keeping the ball. You can't do that unless we move off the ball. Tuncay is the player that will help us out.

Him dropping off the front man can make us into a 451 or a 4411 to be precise.

*instead, not ahead

i could say park the bus play 4-5-1 but with our defence that is not going to work and if we go 1-0 down then we will struggle to change tempo to get back into the game.i think muamba and nrc must play proper sitting midfield roles,kakuta and eagles on the wing,klasnic up top.now key to this working for me would be tuncay who would be my link man between midfield and klasnic.his performance would be key to not being too pinned back like at wba and leaving klasnic isolated up front.my team; jussi,riley,cahill,boyata,alonso.muamba,nrc.kakuta, tuncay,eagles.klasnic. the old guard of steinsson,knight,robinson only play if riley,boyata,alonso not fit.mavies has just not taken his chance for me so misses out in my team.most of all though lets keep 11 out there on the pitch.

We can shock Spurs. It can happen. We've gone there and got a result before against the odds. I want to see whichever 11 fit players are most up for it given the shirt. That's my only criteria.

Nail on the head, Largehat

...........Jussi,.........

NRC....Cahill.......Knight......Robbo

M.Davies......Muamba.........Pratley....Petrov

......................Eagles...........

................Klasnic.........

I honestly think NRC will be put back at the right back spot after the Everton game.

I think we should line all 11 players up on the goal line and look to catch Spurs on the break!

Robinson v Lennon..Oh my God.

Steinsson v Bale.....Oh my god

All 11 of them v all 11 of us ....

Do we actually have 11 to choose from?

Steinsson v Bale.....Oh my god

-------------------------------

Steinsson will pocket Bale like he did last year - Steinsson is a poor full-back who allows his winger to cut inside and shoot, hence why Ashley Young being right-footed always bosses us, which is why last year he did such a good job on Bale who's weakness is cutting inside

I think we should play
Jussi, Steinsson, Boyata, Cahill, Alonso, NRC, Muamba, Eagles, Mavies, Kakuta, Klasnic

Bring your boots lads. Word on the street is that SOC will play one of us before he lets Gretar play at RB again!

Coyles aftermatch speech:

"I thought we were the best team for 10 minutes in thefirst half and if we had taken our chances it might have turned out differently than a 5-0 defeat"

"Spurs are a World class side and we were always going to need that bit of luck to get something from this game but things aren't going our way at the moment"

"When the players cross the white line and don't do what I say, what can I do"

"We have a lot of injuries, small squad & no money but we are determined to ride this bad spell and it will be back in training on Monday to work on our luck"

"Thanks"

Bricks, that aftermatch speech is clearly nothing like Coyle.

There wasn't a SINGLE use of the phrase 'Barclays Premier League'.

Or Bolton Wanderers Football Club. Or elite teams.

or " I always felt we were in with a chance ...until that fifth goal went in " .... and " Obviously, we've missed out on the points again, but, we'll take the positives out of this game, and work hard to turn this around "
