This is it!
Long suffering Spurs fans have waited patiently these past 4 months for this very moment. Spurs are finally, deservingly in Europe’s premier club competition! This is where the best of the best duke it out for bragging rights as the best club in Europe.
Werder Bremen are no strangers to Champions League football and have been involved in six of the last 7 seasons. Having had a similar start to their season as Spurs, Werder find themselves in mid table in the Bundesliga in the 10th spot. Yet, their previous experience in Champions League football will put them at a slight advantage for this match.
Spurs are also having an unimpressive start to the season and injuries to key players are not helping. Spurs will undoubtedly deploy a 4-5-1 or 4-4-1-1 (whichever way you see it) formation but which players will start is a good question. My guess is that ‘arry will field all players with Champions League experience and so we should see Gallas partnering King in defence, Crouch alone up front, and Rafael van der vaart sitting in between the midfield and Crouch. An attacking midfield should also consist of Bale, Modric, Huddlestone and Lennon but if we want to be conservative, Bale will play at left back and Palacios will play in midfield.
Whichever way, I have to believe that with injuries to key players, a draw will be a great result. A winning start would be wonderful though.
COYS!!!
