In my opinion although Ade has been a ghost of his first season at Spurs I still believe he could play his part (as he did scoring against Inter). With Ade up front it will certainly stretch the Basel defenders, but if we put Bale up front we then have a slight make shift looking midfield (which I am not keen on).
If Ade starts then that leaves Siggy, Bale & Lennon to play behind Ade and then Dembele and Parker holding in the middle. Should we put Bale up front I do not believe Holtby will be drafted in so you would imagine Dempsey would be brought in.
With Dempsey just returning from injury it would not make tactical sense to put him in ( just coming back to fitness).
We will certainly be without Walker (suspended), Tom Carroll (Hamstring), Defoe (Who knows his true injury) and long term injured players Kaboul and Sandro.
Walker will be sorely missed after putting on a great defensive display against Swansea at the weekend, but this will keep him fully rested for the Everton game (and Naughton a chance to chow case himself).
Expect to see some youngsters on the bench tonight, personally Ceballos is the one for me as a must (with 4 goals in his past 2 goals in the past 2 games), the nippers on fire (however I don't think AVB is looking at him just yet).
