Stevenage Vs. Tottenham Hotspur, 2012 FA Cup: Lineups And Live Match Thread

Happy Spursday, Spursland. Today Tottenham Hotspur travel away to Stevenage in the FA Cup. As we've noted a bajillion times, but the whiny opposing fans of the internet don't seem to get, we know very little about Stevenage other than the fact that their team is in the ascendancy and that their manager is Gary Smith, formerly of the Colorado Rapids. We're not big Gary Smith fans. Here's the Spurs starting XI.

Tottenham Hotspur lineup (4-4-2): Carlo Cudicini; Danny Rose, Michael Dawson, Ryan Nelsen, Younes Kaboul; Gareth Bale, Jake Livermore, Scott Parker, Kyle Walker; Louis Saha, Jermain Defoe

I'm guessing that this formation features Walker in midfield, because if it doesn't and it's a 3-5-2 of some sort, that would make one of Bale or Rose a central midfielder. Whether this is a 4-4-2 with Walker in midfield or a 3-5-2 with Bale or Rose in the center, this should be interesting.

If you have the subs and the Stevenage team, please post them in the comments. The game kicks off at 9:00 a.m. ET, 2 p.m. local time. You can catch it on either FOX Soccer Channel or FOX Deportes in the USA, on Sportsnet World in Canada and on ITV 1 in the UK.

With a week until the NLD

This is a much less strong side than I expected. I really expected to see mostly first-choice players.

Walker in midfield? Hmm.

BTW, I’ll be churchin’ it up (and sneaking glances at my iPhone) during this game, so I won’t be participating much in the GT. Do me proud, guys.

by Edward_Francis on Feb 19, 2012 2:31 PM GMT up reply actions  

But we're really playing 3 at the back, with 5 in the midfield.

We’ve got width. The problem is Livermore and Parker offer no creativity, and Bale seems to have no idea what his role in the team is right now. Hooray for Learning! So the centerbacks keep just knocking it forward.

a player like Barca has in Busquets. Someone who will make himself available as soon as we win back possession and retain possession to link the defense to the attackers. Right now the defense wins the ball, has no outlet to play it too, and hoofs it forward where Stevenage just win it back. Hudds could be that guy.

Like, what's the point of even calling that?

That’s a completely ridiculous interpretation of the offside law. Has nothing to do with the spirit and purpose of the rule. The ball was on its way into the goddamn net. That is stupid.

The vast majority of clubs are on such a tight budget . . .

A solid cup run, with a high profile game against a top side brings in an awful amount of money.
Even more so when they get a game at a large ground.

Purely on this game, with the tv coverage, Stevenage can create enough revenue to pay the wages of their team for half the season.

Here's a quick thought. FA should reward teams who win without needing a replay.

They wait to make draw until all matches from prior round are finished. Any teams with replays left are automatically away. Teams through are thrown into a home pot.
