Cudicini
Hutton
Rose
Palacios
Walker
Bassong
Bentley
Kranjcar
Crouch
Notso
Pienaar
I'm guessing 4-4-2 with
Hutton/Walker/Bassong/Rose (too many right backs still?)
Bentley/Palacios/Kranjcar/Pienaar
Crouch/Notso
Subs:
Townsend, Button, Carroll, Kane, Luongo
Should we read anything into this ahead of the Brighton game tomorrow? Are these dead men walking as far as starting XI places go next season? Further loans for Rose and Walker on the cards or a chance to push their way into a starting place still?
Tomorrow should see:
Gomes or Friedel
Corluka/Dawson/Gallas (if fit?) or Kaboul/Ekotto
Lennon/Ratboy/Huddlestone or Jenas/Bale
Pav/VDV or JD
XI v Orient Result 4-1 Crouch 2, Niko, OG

I want to see more of Luongo, apparently he plays like Modric.

Really Benny? Shame that but he is still quite young. Needs better experience maybe. He's not a frontman though, more second striker

Is that right Sandro's Cow? Never seen him nor heard too much about him either.

I've just heard that from a friend ddd. Low centre of gravity, central midfielder, good ball retention and buzzes about all over the place.

88.57: OFF LINE - SPURS. Pinpoint cross from the left by Bentley into Crouch, far post, chested down, poked ball over advancing Butcher but Grieve back in nick of time to clear off the line.
-----------------------------------
Ooh! Nearly had his hat trick. Bentley on the left?
Not heard a peep about Pienaar yet

4-1 Full Time
Nice bit of shopwindow for Crouchie maybe. Or maybe we should keep him
Cheers chaps

On a different note as Spanish TV fella on Twitter has just tweeted that we've tabled a 25 million Euros bid for Mata

Ta for the updates ddd
Hopefully this display will coerce another team into bidding for Crouch.

I don't see the need for Mata, good player though he undoubtedly is. Its not as if we have a vacancy in the middle - or will one arise?
If (big if) we are throwing £25m about then please spend it on someone to score some flippin goals!

Absolute stunner from Crouch. Ball fizzed into his feet, back to goal, turned Cuthbert inside out, carried on for a couple of yards before unleashing 30-yarder in off the right post.
