Tottenham Hotspur Vs. Manchester City, 2012 Premier League: Lineups and Live Match Thread
Good Morning Gentlemen. The day has finally arrived. The biggest league match Spurs has played since May of 2009 (incidentally, also against Manchester City) has arrived. Tottenham Hotspur sit third on the table with 46 points from 21 matches. Manchester City sit first with 51 points from 21 matches. A win today pulls Spurs to within a single match of Manchester City. A loss severely sets back Tottenham Hotspur in their race for the title. We all know the stakes and they are as they are.
Pressure is heating up on both sides before the match. Harry Redknapp has come out before the match and said that Roberto Mancini needs to deliver or be sacked by the club. Mancini has responded and said that with a win today, Manchester City could put Tottenham in a hole it can't get out of. Needless to say, there is no love lost between the two clubs.
The usual suspects are still injured, and this is coupled with the absence of Emmanuel Adebayor due to a clause in his loan contract. However, Ledley is back.
Tottenham Hotspur XI (4-4-1-1): Friedel; Walker, King, Kaboul, Assou-Ekotto; Lennon, Parker, Modric, Bale; Van der Vaart; Defoe
Subs: Cudicini, Bassong, Dawson, Kranjcar, Livermore, Pienaar, Pavlyuchenko
Manchester City XI (4-2-3-1): Hart, Richards, Savic, Lescott, Clichy, Milner, Barry, Aguero, Silva, Nasri, Dzeko
Subs: Pantilimon, Zabaleta, Kolarov, Onuoha, De Jong, Johnson, Balotelli
Manchester City vs. Tottenham Hotspur
Game Date/Time: Sunday, January 22, 8:30 AM ET, 1:30 PM local
Venue: Etihad Stadium, Manchester, England
TV: Fox Soccer Channel (USA, English), Fox Deportes (USA, Spanish), SkySports 1 (UK), Sportsnet World (Canada)

King shouldn't start again
Not kidding. If Dawson and Kaboul are fit, he shouldn’t play. Inexcusable. David Luiz, for all of the shit he catches, has never made an error that bad.

Come on of course he should start. And Luiz has done something that bad, against Fulham last year. Almost the same thing, except Clint didn’t convert the penalty.

No, he shouldn't
Never seen Dawson or Kaboul make an error that dumb and both are much better athletes.

never seem them make an error that dumb…or that dumb that late? I’m pretty much just arguing over Dawson FYI (I agree Kaboul is ahead in the pecking order comfortably)

Oh Kaboul is #1
By a good margin, personally.

Not hindsight
It was okay that he started in this game. He made an error perhaps worse than any error he’s ever made in his career. If he can’t be trusted to not make those kinds of errors, more athletic players should start over him in the future.

So one error when he has been basically blameless on a freak play deserves the bench?
by AWolfAtTheDoor on Jan 22, 2012 3:40 PM GMT up reply actions
basically blameless this entire campaign
and our defense has looked fantastic every game he’s in.
by AWolfAtTheDoor on Jan 22, 2012 3:40 PM GMT up reply actions
He's 30 anyways
He doesn’t have cartilage in his knees, he can’t do ANYTHING besides play cover defense.

Exactly
He isn’t a player at peak fitness who made a bad error. He’s Ledley King. If he isn’t avoiding mental errors, he serves no purpose. The only reason he plays is because he doesn’t make mental errors.

Well I’d put it slightly differently. I’d say his lack of mental errors override the fact that he’s not as athletic as Dawson. One error here to me doesnt come close to changing that balance. I’ve seen Dawson do way to many dumb things to believe that he’s a better option than King. To me benching King now is punitive more than anything.

One error. And you're kneejerking.
He’s been fantastic in that role all season long. The difference in our entire defense when he is out is always visible. I cannot point to another in the ~10 games he’s played in this year.

So let’s wait ’til his contract expires, appoint him as defensive coach (like Les Ferdinand is striker coach), buy a new CB in summer, this would leave us with Kaboul, Dawson, Caulker + (new bought defender) for next Season.

unfortunately, that won't happen until the end of the season

I don't know.
We are better than Arsenal, miles better than Liverpool, and we can beat Chelsea on our day. I think this game will just piss off our players. I think we’re going to have a fantastic run coming up. I’d be very afraid of some serious backlash if I was Wigan.
COYS!
word. I hope it works out this way

To be quite honest, I've got a strange feeling of euphoria right now
THIS is what being a Spurs fan feels like to me. It’s like all the planets have lined up properly again.

Really, that man has only got 8 yellow (+ 0 red) cards in his whole carrer and never seems to do anything stupid on the pitch… and now this.. D:

Regarding Ledley
Even a god can screw up. It just sucks that it happened when it happened. Did anyone else notice the shot of him after the game, kneeled down. He looked absolutely gutted. Just unfortunate and a lack of composure. At that point in time though, he probably felt making the tackle was his best move and probably felt confident in that. I’ve been responsible for blowing a soccer or basketball game in my life in a similar way. It blows.

The problem with that
The best move there is to not tackle.

He makes a clean tackle there 9999 times out of 10000
I don’t think it ever entered his mind when the started the attempt that it could end up like that
YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO TACKLE THERE
That’s the issue here, this is basic shit that kids know at the high school level.

Yeah
This. Its a bone headed decision no way around it. Of course if it ends up being clean we all gasp shrug and get on with our life and one point. But you just can’t do it, because even if the chances of this happening are miniscule that’s still too big.

Wow
The most retarded comment on here so far.
You’re totally right to suggest that King is worse than high school level though, it’s not like he’s an established first team player with international caps. I’m pretty sure that’s what Spurs are missing, some high school kids at centre half. Get a fucking grip…

Mother fucking karma
You know the way they say that all the bad and unlucky decisions even over the season well we are owed some serious karma now.
For some reason, I just went through and read this match thread.
Now I want to kill myself all over again. I hate soccer.
