Nics 8 Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 We'll play for the 0-0 and lose 2-0. All hail Karankaball and our return to the Championship. :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D Link to post Share on other sites
LinoJo3 3,098 Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 I'd like to see him try bamford on the left, pushing inside he'd probably get on the end of some of traores crosses across the box, he's quicker and would suit our counter style better than stuani I think.

Middlesborough 12 Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 I'd like to see us score a goal pls and pls send Espinosa back to Spain Link to post Share on other sites
hanzino 4 Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Could be a cricket score, spurs will be right up for this after being held by sunderland, 90 minute onslaught is what i'm expecting. Link to post Share on other sites
Snowblind 1,711 Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Adama will play and we'll have 3 holding mids, I reckon. Reason being, we'll be looking to counter. We can't rely on attacking football because, frankly, we can't play it. Also doubt Karanka will start Guedioura as we all know what he's like with bedding in new signings. So I'm going for: GK - Valdes RB - Barragan CB - Chambers CB - Gibson LB - Friend CM - Clayton CM - de Roon CM - Forshaw RW - Traore ST - Negredo LW - Downing Could easily be Fabio for Barragan and Stuani for Downing, though.

edinboro 804 Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 I'm really looking forward to this. Playing a good team with nothing to lose. We have a cracking record against big teams. The players and fans should love it. I've never been to WHL, am full of cold, and the trains are getting diverted via Cambridge. It's going to be a great day out. Link to post Share on other sites
tylergomez 53 Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Vertonghen is injured so both of Spurs CB's, Dier and Alderweireld, are right footed so that should help Traore on the counterattack taking on the left sided CB when Rose is upfield. I'd stick with the same forward three. One of my Spurs suppprting students tells me Rose won't play. Link to post Share on other sites

tylergomez 53 Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Maybe it is time for a Karazy Karanka Kurveball: ------------ Valdes ------------ ---Chambers Espinosa Gibson-- Fabio De Roon Clayton Downing ---------------- Traore ---------------- ------ Bamford ---- Negredo ------- Up the Biro Link to post Share on other sites
sackrobson2 371 Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 I think Chambers is out for weeks isn't he? Is Ayala fit to return? I'd like him to replace Espinosa and partner Gibson at the back. Link to post Share on other sites

It is never going to happen! I do like the idea of giving Adama a 'do whatever the hell you like' role though. Link to post Share on other sites
Uwe 3,543 Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Spurs are better than us to a man all over the pitch. They have a bench that can really make a difference plus I think Pottechino is the next Jose/Pep/Fergie all rolled into one. Add to the fact they'll be fuming by being held by Blunderland and they are now at home they'll be right up for this. With all this in mind I can't see us getting any joy out of it so I'll say this has 2-0 to the Boro written all over it :) Link to post Share on other sites
