Leeds United AFC vs Tottenham Hotspur
(FA Cup 4th Round Replay)
(FA Cup 4th Round Replay)
First and foremost, some team news - O'Hara, Hutton and Keane (yes, Keane!) were out on loan (and we should jolly well know players who are on loan may never come back), and we had signed Kaboul back, though we could not get Bergovic, both formerly from Portsmouth.
And now, back to the game.
League One Leeds had kicked current Premier League champions Manchester United out of the FA Cup in the 3rd round, and they had miraculously (or rather because of our folly) scored a late equaliser at the Lane. Now the right for the advancement to 5th round will be determined at Elland Road.
Even we had won Fulham during last midweek, we seemed to have fallen back to the same old "injury time goal against us" syndrome against Birmingham over the last weekend. With this and the loan transfers, I foresee we may have some morale problems in the coming days.
Though we welcome back Kaboul, he cannot play for us (cup-tied). With Gudjohnsen not fit for a while and Pavlyuchenko injured, our front is now left with Crouch and Defoe. With Lennon, King and Assou-Ekotto out, Harry Redknapp might be bringing in some youngsters from our reserves to fill up the gaps.
This is our last chance of getting a silverware this season, and also a form of backdoor ticket to Europe next season.
COYS!!!!!
