Tottenham Hotspur Vs. Everton, 2012 Premier League: Lineups And Live Match Thread

Img00243_tiny by Kevin McCauley on in Tottenham Hotspur Game Threads

Azza returns

Happy Spursday, Spursland! It's time to make up a fixture that we missed in August because of the London riots. Everton come to the Lane to take on Tottenham Hotspur in what is actually a fixture from Round 1. Everton have a lot more injuries now than they did back then, but they also have Landon Donovan, who starts. Tottenham are without both Sandro and Scott Parker, and have dropped in Jake Livermore while going back to the 4-4-1-1. Tim Cahill was an injury doubt, but makes a surprise start for the Toffees. This is your live match thread, here are your lineups.

Tottenham Hotspur Lineup (4-4-1-1): Friedel; Walker, Dawson, Kaboul, Assou-Ekotto; Lennon, Livermore, Modric, Bale; Van der Vaart; Adebayor

Substitutes: Cudicini, Bassong, Rose, Kranjcar, Pienaar, Defoe, Pavlyuchenko

Everton Lineup (4-4-2): Howard; Neville, Heitinga, Distin, Baines; Bilyaletdinov, Fellaini, Donovan, Cahill; Anichebe, Saha

Substitutes: Drenthe, Denis, Gueye, Vellios, Duffy, Mucha, Faddy

I haven't seen the Everton subs yet, so post them in the comments if you see them. The game kicks off at 2:45 p.m. ET, 7:45 p.m. local time from White Hart Lane. You can catch the game on FOX Soccer Channel in the USA and Sportsnet World in Canada. I don't believe it's on live TV in the UK, but please correct me if I'm wrong. COYS!

I guess it’d be funnier for City to go on and actually win the thing than it would be for 7th to do it. I mean, if City win the title, and Mancini talks about them winning the double, in a year where they bombed out of the CL and the FA Cup way ahead of schedule, it’s pretty high comedy. Liverpool will actually be legitimately smug about it.

Corluka’s a really excellent passer of the ball with great vision. Even if Lennon isn’t bright enough to read what he’s going to do ahead of time, he’s quick enough to get on the end of Charlie’s incisive passing.

Drenthe will come of the bench and really stretch us with his pace. Also Velios to make runs in behind defense, which Anichebe and Saha aren’t doing. Lets hope Dawson can keep pace after just coming back.

Asking price is probably too high, current owner is a bit of a joke which doesn’t help.
In terms of actual assets though, we have ~50 million pounds in debt, need a new stadium which is another ~200 million pound expense, maybe even more. The team also does not own Finch Farm. Plus Liverpool is not a fantastic city compared to London, or even Manchester. Also the economy doesn’t help anything either, I’m worried that we will be forced into Admin in a slow and painful way

We need that though

So we can rest the first teamers once in awhile. I know Harry doesn’t believe in that whole new phenomenon of squad rotation, but it really does help to keep guys fresh.

Meanwhile in Mancistan...

Seventhpool are apparently playing 6-3-1 to protect their 1-0

Someday, I imagine large golden statues will be built honoring my humility. Or my hat.

Already happened

We could win the title and still not make the front page

Spurs need to go second first.. We’re still 3rd on GD.. And it’s a big GD.

I’ll bet Pav AND Row Z

Of course, we're not second.

United still tops us on GD.

So lets assume City doesn't win the title

and either we or Utd get it.

Is Mancini out before or after the season

O's, Ravens, and Spurs

by Skipjack on Jan 11, 2012 9:43 PM GMT reply actions  

Sacking Mancini would be the wrong thing to do. If it was CSKA London, he would be gone for sure. City though? I think they keep him.

by Karris on Jan 11, 2012 9:45 PM GMT up reply actions  

I think between blowing the title and his CL disaster

he’d be out, regardless of the fact that he’s done a good job.

O's, Ravens, and Spurs

by Skipjack on Jan 11, 2012 9:46 PM GMT up reply actions  

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the Sheikh would overreact

He probably gets sacked the day after the season ends if they don’t end up winning it

by Joamiq on Jan 11, 2012 9:51 PM GMT up reply actions  

I actually think he stays

He’s done a good job and the owners aren’t nearly as trigger happy as Abramovich

In a perfect world

They will sack Mancini and every other manager they get in before he has a chance to solidify his squad until the end of eternity. It may actually be beyond human capability to manage a squad of 25 superstars like that. The main benefit they get from some of them (Tevez) is that it just keeps them from playing for someone else.

Eventually, they’ll end up with a payroll of £20 million a week but everyone unhappy.

Mancini is not the problem there.

We made the GIH count like we needed to. All is well. City is faultering, United is half crippled… If we can keep our shit together, this could be a fun finish.

Arsenal to Europa

Oh what a glorious table indeed

Hey, if you really want a laugh

look how far behind us Seventhpool is

Hey, that was fun.

Thanks for the laughs, friends.

I saw a girl crying tonight. When I asked why she said: "Because everybody lost."

I can't stop hurting over that game at Stoke.

It will either fade with the glory of the title, or become a nagging nightmare revisited by my unconscious and conscious mind!
