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

Photo

Time for something to actually happen Spurs fans! Tottenham take on Wigan Athletic in the English Premier League. Hugo Rodallega, who has been linked with a move to Spurs is on the bench for the Latics. Meanwhile, Aaron Lennon and Jermain Defoe, who both picked up injuries against Watford in the FA Cup will not be playing any part in this match for Tottenham.

The injury to Lennon means a rare start for Niko Kranjcar, who it seems, will be playing on the left with Gareth Bale on the opposite flank. Meanwhile, Roman Pavlyuchenko is conspicuously absent from the bench and in his place is Cameron Lancaster.

Tottenham XI (4-4-1-1): Friedel; Assou-Ekotto; King; Kaboul; Walker; Bale; Modric; Kranjcar; Parker; Van der Vaart; Adebayor

Subs: Cudicini; Rose; Dawson; Livermore; Sandro; Pienaar; Lancaster

Wigan XI: Al Habsi, Boyce, McCarthy, Caldwell, Figueroa, Moses, Watson, Stam, Beausejour, Gomez, Di Santo

Subs: Pollitt, Crusat, McArthur, Jones, Gohouri, Sammon, Rodallega

The match kicks off at 2:45 on ESPN3.

Something for the commentariat to chew on

It just dawned on me today that Modric is a whole lot like Steve Nash and not just because he is the engine of our team. He just holds onto the ball forever in really tight spaces, and looks for the pass, waiting for it. It reminds me a lot of how Nash keeps his dribble at all times and probes at defences. Also his pass to Bale for this first goal was like a Nash backdoor alley-oop to Marion in the glory days of seven seconds or less.

This, Petrilli, wherever you are is why I want two of the three of those strikers over Leandro.

Almost a hat trick

After that last, unholy row,
I never, ever play, basketball now.
It joins a list of things I'll miss like fencing foils and lovely girls I'll never kiss.

Blargh

We couldn’t have split the difference at 60?

Splitting the difference between 50 and 70 to Levy is 51.

I don’t know what to think. We’ve had three awesome goals, but then three people have been taken off by injuries and one of our steadiest players may be suspended. And we’re bringing in Saha likely and not much else.
