Scout Scribbles – Three and Easy for Tottenham
Filed under: Scout Notes - Posted by: Paul
Gareth Bale is amongst the goals yet again as Tottenham get the better of Inter at the Lane. A lacklustre Chelsea are beaten in Bucharest, Newcastle register a goalless draw with Anzhi but are set to be without Fabricio Coloccini for a number of weeks, Daniel Sturridge is back for Liverpool this weekend, while Shane Long is a doubt for West Brom’s home game with Swansea:
Tottenham 3 Inter 0
Andre Villas-Boas’ side continued their impressive form by sweeping aside their Italian visitors last night. The Spurs boss made three changes from the side that saw off Arsenal at the Lane last Sunday – Hugo Lloris and Michael Dawson dropped out for Brad Friedel and William Gallas at the back, while Jermain Defoe led the line with Emmanuel Adebayor still recovering from the knee problem that forced him off on Sunday.
While Gareth Bale hogged the headlines once more with a goal and assist, Gylfi Sigurdsson continued his renaissance on the Tottenham left. The Icelandic international mirrored Bale’s returns before making way for Lewis Holtby with 20 minutes – having notched a goal and assist in his last couple of league games, he is finally starting to suggest he’s ready to hold down a first-team role after a slow start to life at the Lane. Jan Vertonghen served a reminder of his threat from the back by nodding home the hosts’ third to leave Villas-Boas’ side with a commanding first-leg lead – they will be without Bale for the second leg in the San Siro, though, as the Welshman is set to serve a one-match ban after receiving his third caution of the tournament. The only downside for Villas-Boas from last night’s match was the late withdrawal of Aaron Lennon with what appeared to be a hamstring knock. Having started every one of Spurs’ 28 league matches, any possible absence would be a bitter blow for the flying winger – we should hopefully get further prognosis in this afternoon’s press conference.
Anzhi 0 Newcastle 0
With a crucial home clash against Stoke on the horizon, Alan Pardew made seven changes from the side that lost narrowly at Swansea for yesterday’s trip to Russia. Rob Elliott, Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa Elsewhere, Yohan Cabaye and Moussa Sissoko were the four to retain their places – with Papiss Cisse missing out through illness, Hatem Ben Arfa was intriguingly handed the lone forward role upon his return from a long-term hamstring injury, though Pardew did admit beforehand he was concerned the synthetic surface could pose problems for Shola Ameobi’s ongoing knee issue. Ameobi replace the Frenchman just after the hour mark, while Steven Taylor came on with quarter of an hour left in what was a hugely uneventful match.
Post-match, Pardew admitted he would utilise Ben Arfa as a lone forward role again, if necessary:
“Hatem lasted longer than I thought and did well given he is not fit. I have thought about using him there before because if I was a centre-back he is the last person I would want to see with the ball at his feet. And I would certainly consider it again.”
Prior to the game, Pardew was left reeling from the news that Fabricio Coloccini is set to be sidelined with the back problem sustained in Gameweek 27 against Swansea. The Magpies boss has admitted his skipper could be missing for up to two months:
“Colo has gone back to Argentina. There’s no treatment he can have – he’s broken two of the bones in his back. We think it’s going to be anything between three and seven weeks. He’s gone back for a week.”
With Tim Krul also out due to an ankle injury, Pardew’s defensive problems are starting to rack up but luckily his winter transfer spree has come in handy. Yanga-Mbiwa now looks likely to be given the platform to secure a regular role alongside Steven Taylor in the heart of defence, though priced at 4.9 in FPL, he still will set you back more than Steven Taylor’s 4.6.
Steaua Bucharest 1 Chelsea 0
Rafa Benitez also made a number of changes ahead of Sunday’s FA Cup trip to Old Trafford. Cesar Azpilicueta and Ashley Cole dropped out of the back-four – Branislav Ivanovic moved to right-back as John Terry returned, while Ryan Bertrand was also afforded a start. With Ramires rested from the trip, John Obi Mikel joined Frank Lampard in the double-pivot, while Yossi Benayoun – fit again after an ankle injury – replaced Juan Mata in the attacking midfield three. Up top, Fernando Torres got the nod as Demba Ba is ineligible to feature. Benitez made a couple of substitutions during the course of the defeat; Eden Hazard was replaced by Marko Marin with 15 minutes left, while Benayoun made way for Mata just after the hour mark.
In Other News
Daniel Sturridge has been passed fit and is available for selection once again ahead of Liverpool’s home game with Spurs this weekend. The Reds’ assistant boss Colin Pascoe revealed to the press yesterday:
“He’s looking good. It was his first day training today and he has trained well. He will be available for Sunday. Everyone seems fit and raring to go and we can’t wait for Sunday.”
Having missed two of the last three, including last Saturday’s win over Wigan, Sturridge has been sold by over 14,000 FPL managers heading into the weekend – despite only 12 teams taking to the field this time round. Luis Suarez looks set for a change in role once again, with the Uruguayan tucking in behind Sturridge as Brendan Rodgers moves back to a 4-2-3-1 to accommodate the former Chelsea man in the starting line-up. Having scored or assisted in all five of his league appearances, Sturridge will no doubt receive plenty new investors after yesterday’ news – with Liverpool visiting three of the bottom five in addition to a home clash with West Ham this weekend, there’s plenty potential for further attacking points.
Shane Long is the only doubt for West Brom’s home clash with Swansea. Steve Clarke revealed the Irishman is struggling to overcome an ankle injury picked up during last Saturday’s game at Chelsea:
“The unfortunate thing for us is that Shane Long, who played last week with a bad ankle, has aggravated his ankle through the weekend. He trained Monday and Tuesday but unfortunately didn’t train today. He is doubtful for tomorrow – and the weekend as well. That’s a bit of a loss for us. Although, I’m ever the optimist and I haven’t ruled him out of the weekend yet.”
The news certainly eases any lingering fears for Romelu Lukaku’s Fantasy owners as the Baggies look to avenge their defeat at the hands of Michael Laudrup’s side earlier this season. Clarke’s habit of alternating the two for starting roles has played havoc with the Belgian’s game time, though with eight starts in the last 10, he has started to look a Hawthorns regular in recent weeks. Clarke has also revealed Chris Brunt has recovered from the ankle injury that kept him out of last week’s game, while Claudio Yacob, Steven Reid and Jonas Olsson are all fit and raring to go after shrugging off midweek knocks.

So Bale’s red card gives him a rest next week. Does this give him more license to go flat out against Liverpool and end the week with a bang, or does Suarez still edge the captain’s armband?

Personally, I reckon both teams will keep it tight and it could be quite low-scoring.

March 8 at 12:03 pm

1 hit. I’m just a bit concerned about Cameron, Puncheon and Cisse not playing. How many do you think I’ll get out.
Next week I’m planning Cameron/Cisse -> Wilson/RVP, look good?
March 8 at 12:07 pm
Doosra - A little wine is a lot of sunshine! says:
10 would be my guess. Transfers top notch, although I personally will be playing Bertrand …
March 8 at 12:09 pm
Dynamic says:
I also think 10, with Cameron missing out, I may get a 1-pointer from him.
Do you think it could be worth it doing Cameron -> Wilson this week for another -4, then RVP in next week with no hit?

I’d shift it to bottom right. Perfect week to gamble, imo.
March 8 at 12:09 pm

Harte? Or Beneteke do you mean?
Benteke, Lambert and Sissoko certainly have the fixtures…..will definitely consider a move. Suarez will be the most captained this week and is at home but spurs look good.
March 8 at 12:08 pm
rvp786 says:
i think you should take a risk with the captaincy. perfect week for it. go for benteke
March 8 at 12:08 pm

Good team.
Bale or Benteke depending whether you are playing catch up or preserving a lead.
March 8 at 12:10 pm
Jonty says:
I’m preserving a lead….but just don’t think Bale will do as well against a tight Liverpool at home. They’ll have Lucas and Allen on him I think.
March 8 at 12:11 pm
Jafooli (c) - Up the Jags says:
And a weeks rest…?
March 8 at 12:12 pm

Then do Benteke. I refuse to take the hit for him as I want Rooney for wk 30 but If I had him he’d have the armband.

AVL are just unpredictable and so are Reading these days. I’d be happyenough for a Benteke goal, but if Suarez gets a brace then the average is going to rocket.

That’s about as good as we’ll see this week, I reckon……excellent line up even for a normal GW. And hit free
good work Jonty.
Capt Suarez for me also….
March 8 at 12:12 pm
Jonty says:
I did plan to get 11 out this week with no hits as soon as I knew the games were off. Next week I’m going to be introducing Rooney into my team as well. Make or break move that is.

Michu (c), Jonty? Lovely team for the weekend, considering it’s hit-free.

no because you will want rvp back. not worth wasting two transfers IMO
March 8 at 12:16 pm
Pap Le Cissier says:
Cheers RVP. Was thinking a -4 hit to bring back Mata and RVP next week. But it would be a gamble depending what Benteke or Remy do.
Might just C Cisse instead!

March 8 at 12:25 pm
Eunuch Jelly says:
Fwiw I might do it (but I would do Suarez). My plan involves a hit this week and then a hit next week to put everything back in place. Seems wasteful, but it all comes down to whether you think you will make up the 8 points and I think I will. All you need is for the player you bring in to get 8 points. I think Suarez is more likely to do that.
March 8 at 12:30 pm
Eunuch Jelly says:
Actually, depending on your situation, the threshold of justification might be 4. I cannot get back where I want next week (RVP and Mata/Haz/Lamps in) without a hit from where I stand now. So for me the hit this week does not cause the hit next week, so I only need 4. If you taking a hit this week causes you to need a hit next week, you need this week’s transfer to beat 8.

Can just see it being a tight game. WBA result aside, Liverpool aren’t exactly known for shipping a tonne at Anfield this season
March 8 at 12:21 pm

No but at the same time it’s not through doing a Stoke at home…They mat well cancel each other out but so might Bentekers and his boys but the difference between the two games is far more players know where the net is at Anfield..

Already moved Mata for Sissoko with FT, but planning to ship out O’Brien (horrendous fixtures) for Wilson or Turner/Martin, which will potentially cost me just 2pts , or maybe unlikely gain 2pts, on what will be a low scoring week. Wilson will give me a cash pile of £11.8m moving forward.

Jonty, I really wouldn’t go Rooney over RVP. Just cough up the extra cash.
I don’t know whether Ferguson’s relationship with Rooney has really soured, but even if there is some truth in it, Rooney is gonna be rested a few times. No fire without smoke, and all that.

Fergie just came out and said he guarantees there is no rift with Rooney and he will be there next year…doesn’t sound like anything sour. It’s all the press/media making a big fuss over it. It’s something out of nothing. The only thing that is sad is that Rooney is no longer seen as indispensable and the first name on the first XI. Which he really should be.

anyone else keeping Aguero despite not fielding 11 this GW?
i would want him back for the DGW, which means it would be an 8 point hit..

0.2 off being able to swap Mata and Cisse to Sissokho and RVP whenever the United DGW happens. Anyone reckon the price market will change enough for me to be able to afford it?
