I'll be following this game, looking at the Spurs lineup I'm unimpressed. Especially with Crouch as the lone striker.
But, that said, I think they'll win this for one major reason, and thats the injury to Per Mertesacker. If you play Mertesacker then Crouch becomes worse than useless, but due to the injury of one of the world's best CB's I think Spurs have a good shot.
That, and the fact that King is playing. I've been watching Spurs lately and this team really lives and dies by King.
I mean, the equaliser on the weekend, Gallas didnt even pretend to jump to make the clearance. He just watched the ball sail by and gave the attackes acres of space in the area to make a free header. I think Gallas was a poor, poor signing.
We'll see how it goes, but I think Spurs have a good shot at this game, they've got their premier CB while Werder dont. That said though a midfield with Frings and Marin pulling the strings is no slouch.
