Tottenham Hotspur vs SV Werder Bremen
(UEFA Champions League, Group Stage)
(UEFA Champions League, Group Stage)
With one of the greatest comebacks of the season against our neighbours last Saturday, Spurs will be entering the crucial Champions League game against Werder Bremen later on today on a high. A win for us will seal us a place in the knockout phase of the Champions League, and with it, comes greater glory and of course, happy days.
For the Spurs lineup, starting from the front would be likely Defoe and Crouch. The back four would be the current staple of Assou-Ekotto, Hutton, Kaboul and Gallas, who recently had been given the captaincy of the team. Our midfield, however, had suffered a blow (in fact, two) with Van der Vaart and Bale doubtful for the game, which I would think the stop gap combination would be Modric, Lennon, Jenas and maybe Palacios. Gomes will likely start between the posts as well.
Werder Bremen had an unhappy season so far, with no wins in their past Bundesliga games, and they are coming to the Lane with injury woes of their own, not to mention the remoteness of a chance to the next round. However, we would still go into the game with caution, especially so that they still have a myriad of good players such as Marin, Wesley and Fritz, who is tasked to stop Bale, if the latter is fit.
A Spurs victory is certain, and just hope no one left a banana skin on the pitch when the game starts.
COYS!!!!!
