THE TALK.

TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR. POSTED BY DAN CARRIER.

BOLTON on Saturday – let us make no bones about it, we need a victory, and desperately. With City facing Villa, we could be further clear of our two challengers come Sports Report at Five O'clock.

But my Subbuteo pitch on the living room carpet is a right mess – I just don't know how Harry should set them up. Do we play Bale and Lennon on the flanks – and if so, does that mean we have to have tough tackling Wilson Palacios in the middle to shore things up against a physical Trotters side.

And if that is the line up, what happens to Tom Huddlestone or Luka Modric? Ah, choices, choices. It looks likely Bale will drop back into the back four, thus nullifying his attacking threat. Still, whatever 11 make it, it's going to be a cracker, and how fun is it to have to be worrying about our best 11 in May?
