Defence looks very inexperienced. 

Something must have happened for Bananaman to be frozen out.

If Heskey is fit I am surprised he doesn't try him with Bent.  Potentially they might make a decent partnership.

Well we know what he's doing and why with Bannan, and Bannan appears accepting of it. It just seems a bit bizarre when he is a lot better than the player who's playing instead of him.

Not concerned about the defence (for a change) - seeing Clark in his stronger position makes sense and Walker and Baker are the future.
The challenge for me is - as said by most above - the apparent lack of muscle in midfield.

Very attack minded side - could well be a few goals here- let's hope more for us than them.surprised Bradley hasn't got in ahead of pires though.

Slight shock re. Pires, let's hope it pays off.

Do we??? I have no idea why Bannan can not get into the squad.  He was one of our better players until he disappeared.

Shocked no Bannan, Not even on Bench?

I wouldn't worry about Agbonlahor, he said he does not like to play same players every week!

Hope Pires plays like he did against blackburn in the cup fixture

Walker has done very well but... Spurs have to agree to sell him.  I just hope we agreed a fee as part of the loan deal.

We didn't and Harry has already said he will go back to Spurs and has a bright future!
