Play Crouch and Defoe up front! Bring back big Dawson for sure.

Gomes
Charlie, Dawson, Bassong (if fit), BAE
Lennon, Sgt. W, Thudd, Kranjcar
Defoe, Keano

Crouchie at half time, If Dawson looks tired, Bring on Jenas and drop Huddlestone back. By this time we should hopefully be 1 or 2 up and Crouchie will allow us to play a longer more stretched attack without ruffling the shape as much.

I remember being in the upper stand behind the goal where Ricky Villa weaved his way past Tommy Caton (twice) before burying the ball and wheeling away. The upper standing terraces at Wembley in those days were very steep with each step about three or four foot deep and a what seemed to be about two foot high (the exact dimensions would be of interest).

Each time Villa dropped his shoulder the crowd surged forward and it was necessary to jump off the step where you started and keep your balance as the surge went on. By the time the ball hit the back of the net it seemd we have all moved down so far that we were almost pitch side.

More than twenty five years later I can still remeber that sensation more clearly than any other experience watching Spurs.

Without doubt my greatest “I was there” moment!

Would also personally opt for Keane and Defoe to start up top, with Crouch as impact sub.
Suspect Jenas will play centre mid if Hudd drops back to defence.

I like Harry but when he comes out and says Carlo Cuddles has don’t anything wrong and plays him ahead of Gomes, then it worries me.

To a degree I understand the Keeno fascination because he must have him on there as a leader and his chosen captian but surely by now he can see a partnership with Defoe and Crouch is best.

Chuck Jenas out. Bring in Kranjcar on the left. Start with Keane and Defoe up front. Crouch in second half if needed.
