Spurs (a) - pre-match thread

[Odvan]

Team seems a bit tired at this stage. And of course Kevin's absense is a huge loss.

Would take a point. But even loss wouldn't be the end of the world. Barca rarely has more than 10 games without a loss. It's ok. Considering 4 points advantage. And I would add something about defenders but I rather not.

very tough fixture and i'd take the point right now, Kane is missing for this which is a massive loss for spurs,they will high press like celtic did and i think they will undo us,can't see us not scoring but will we score enough because we will concede,sorry for being negative but i think spurs will do us 2-1

i think navas will start this. I hope he doesn't but pragmatism may take precedence.

Sagna
Stones
Otamendi
Clichy
Fernando
Fernandinho
Silva
Navas
Sterling
Aguero

That's my team also - with Stones and Fernando the defence looks more solid. Not bothered about the other end because if we take our chances we will score.

I feel we are due a bad result. Just hope we draw and don't lose. Not very hopeful of a win, especially without De Bruyne

I'd even set up for a draw

Last nights game came at the right time for us, as we needed to see how we coped with a team playing high pressure football. We did not fold and came back every time we conceded. John Stones should make the difference at the back and Pep will have a plan. A draw would be a decent result against a very good spurs side.

Defensive set up needs to be right for this one. Zaba and one of Clichy or Kolarov have to make way. Gundogan still not match fit yet.

I'd agree with that team as well, though with Navas starting ahead of Sane.

A draw is all I ask for. We will maintain our 4 point advantage over them and 3 points over the rest of the chasing pack.

I agree and at least 4 points clear of the Rags
