Spurs vs. Club Brugge

Reliable sources appear to suggest a return to Berbatov and Defoe after another away game where we could not find the net. Dropping points early on is not the end of the world as there is plenty of time for them to be made up but as the season progresses the gap where we currently are and where we want to be (5th or higher) becomes ever wider and the failure to beat rubbish like Watford will come back to haunt us like it did last season when the scum pipped us to the post when really they should not have been anywhere near us.

Anyhow, like I said, Berbs and Defoe upfront against a good Club Brugge side who got a good draw out in Germany last time around. A win here for Spurs would almost certainly guarantee qualification for the next stage and a victory has to be the prority tomorrow. Zokora has recovered from maleria but I think his come back will be held over for the visit of the evil Russian empire on Sunday. It sounds like Davids will be in alongside Jenas. Lennon will likely be wide right and Murphy on the left. The defence picks itself.

Lets hope Jol is starting to learn his lesson on striker rotation. He got away with it generally last season but it is not paying off now. Defoe looks like he is more interested, scores 2 against Milton Keynes and then is dropped for Keane. Strikers need games and I hope he sticks with the same pairing for the next few weeks so they can build an understanding. If that means pissing off Mido and Keane then so be it.

See you tommorrow, and once again thanks to FTL.

COYS!
