[Archived] Tottenham Hotspur vs. Blackburn Rovers

[RibbleValleyRover]

Five live believe we are playing three at the back...

[Al]

More irrational decisions by Coco. Who thumped him this week?

Martin must still be struggling with an injury.

He came on last week.

[Mercer]

Final prediction having seen the teams - Spuds to almost equal Chelsea's result.

5-1 to Spuds.

[Tugay-is-God]

I almost vomited when I saw him being referred to as ''Stevie''.

So do I.

[Mercer]

Martin must still be struggling with an injury.

Doubt it.

More likely to have upset 'Stevie'.

[Devon Rover]

Final prediction having seen the teams - Spuds to almost equal Chelsea's result.

5-1 to Spuds.

Can't see you being too far wrong with that. I predicted 3-1 ealier in the week but think it might be worse.

We must get something from this game, I really can't see it happening. About to tune in and watch through my fingers.

can't see that.

[Tom]

Doubt it.

More likely to have upset 'Stevie'.

Or it's the cheaper option

'Stevie' clearly deluded again thinking we can play like Wigan !

To change formation to one so unusual at this stage of the season and in our predicament is just plain crazy.

[frosty]

No way is Martin Olsson injured, he was on the bench/fit enough for the bench at Swansea which is over two weeks ago now.

[Mattyblue]

3-0 win and we are out of the bottom 3...

[Amo]

Wait, so we have a striker turned winger... now turned left-back?

Turned on the radio and that's what they said. I would be surprised if he has changed the formation so radically in a key game. Though this is kean we are talking about here...

[FourLaneBlue]

Dear me...anybody would think we were operating a betting scam, such is the bizarreness of our line-ups at times!

Hope I'm wrong, but the likes of Bale, Van der Vaart & Adebayor look like they might well take us apart.

[Kelbo]

I think they are trying to man mark Bale, trouble is, three at the back and a good opposing manager will look to play with lots of width, stretching the back four and dragging the CB out of position, its not in my opinion a good tactic as there are goals all over this Spurs side!!

You can get injured in training btw...

Can't see anything but a convincing spurs win. We could sneak a point but that would require Hoilett/Yak scoring at least 3/4.

3-0 win and we are out of the bottom 3...

I hope Kean tells the players

[roverandout]

thought vukcevic had recovered from his 'illness'?

[Baz]

So Nzonzi still on bench, strange one that, though resting him last week was to make sure he was ok for the last 3 games. Will miss him today.

[Mercer]

A feckin joke:

Andrew Cryer‏@CryerRovers Vukcevic has travelled and in squad just not made bench

[FourLaneBlue]

thought vukcevic had recovered from his 'illness'?

That illness with the symptoms of too costly playing bonuses?

[bigbrandjohn]

hope Robbo wants to remind Spurs of what they are missing.

[Tugay-is-God]

"Steve's done a miracle there" You must be joking Harry.

To be fair he still had the a bit of the sniffles so best not to risk him, he has been too important to us this season - said kean
