Fixture Focus – Spurs (Champions League, 29 September 2010)

Tottenham Hotspur vs FC Twente    FC Twente     

A historic tie to close out September 2010.  This is exactly what it is.  Our first Champions League group match at the Lane!

Group A is wide open with all 4 teams all square on points and goals scored and against so it is no surprise that Harry has openly stated we need to go on the attack for this home game.  And I hope we can produce the goals given that Defoe is still out injured and Crouch the likely lone striker.  I am sure we will lean on the experience of Rafael van der Vaart once again with support from Lennon, Bale and Modric in the middle.

The big concern is that we have only 1 fit center back in Bassong.  If King cannot start, then either Corluka or Huddlestone will partner Bassong and this does not inspire too much confidence for me.  We might leak goals at the back again.

But I am quietly confident that the home crowd can be our 12th man and hence look forward to us coming away with a win tonight.

COYS!!!
