Spurs (a) - pre-match thread

[Armaan]

Go with a front 6 of Dinho Nando Gundogan Sterling Silva and Kun. More than confident we'll at least get a point with that front 6.

 

[Bozo]

Testing, but I'm quietly confident. 3-1 City. Mind you, I said we'd beat Celtic 3-1...

 

[Le Havre Oswald]

Is Kane injured

 

[Andouble]

They did not have Dier and Dembele midweek. Much easier task at hand if either of them aren't available Sunday.

Fernando to start, for me.

Suspect both will be back on Sunday, unfortunately.

 

[Mr Ed (The Stables)]

Spurs are on different level to Celtic but play with the same high press and intensity for longer.

A very difficult afternoon for us I feel.

A draw would be fine, however an away win would be brilliant.

Come on City.

 

[The Blue one!]

Fernando must start! He give us the balance against high line pressure!

 

[ninjamonkey]

I think we'll come unstuck here in all honesty and will suffer a bit of a reality check, which won't be the end of the world as it has to happen at some point.

Said before tonights match i'd like to see Fernando start, now he surely has to start against Spurs. We need that protection against the top sides and Gundogan isn't warranting a start right now. Nolito still being unavailable isn't much of a disadvantage, I just hope whoever comes in for him plays on the left and Sterling is kept on the right where he's much more useful.

 

[Marvin]

Sagna and Stones to come back in.

Navas for Nolito. Difficult game for Sane to make a start. I'd play Fernando as well instead of Gundogan. Spurs rested players in Moscow. This is a massive match for them and with City away in Glasgow and missing a few players they have a chance. Expecting a very tight game.

Spurs weren't very impressive at Moscow, but an improving side who are well managed.

Fernandinho
Silva

That's the team I expect. Gundogan, Sane and Nacho off the bench
