Spurs - CL 2nd Leg - Pre Match Thread

[hello]

I am also feeling confident however half expecting us to batter them but fail to take chances and concede on their first chance.

If pep does d something unexpected like start Delph or Mahrez or Jesus, i homing we don't start with the negative vibes till after the game when we can all say pep is a genius or a muppet till Saturday.

Just been for another dump, the nerves and excitement starting to build , setting off early ....

 

[burning blue soul]

Pep will definitely go with inverted wingers once again even more so with Mendy being fit.

...............................Ederson.............................
Walker..............Stones.................Laporte................Mendy
...............................Dinho...............................
............... KDB...................David...................

......Bernardo...............Kun........................Sterling

He took Silva off after 65 mins which indicates that he was rested for tonight.

i agree with this line-up, as in this is what i think Pep will put out, although i would prefer sane in there, but cant be greedy!

 

[Luke The Blue]

Normally nervous about big games but looking forward to this. Just feel confident hope I'm not wrong.

I feel the same as you to be fair mate and I'm usually the opposite too get nervous for games like this. They didn't deserve that goal in the second half. I don't think they are all that spurs especially without Kane

 

[Bluemoonie92]

Today is dragging so much, everyone on and off the pitch will be well up for it so I'm fairly confident for tonight. Saw a bit of SSN on my lunch and they are still bleating on about empty seats... wankers.

 

[Seedy Ron]

Time to sing and shout ourselves hoarse tonight people. Time to put this much more inferior team to bed and set up a very winnable semi final. Time to unleash the boys and show the world just what a fantastic team we have. What a time to be a Blue!!!!!

Cheers for that pal.

It's a problem we need to solve, for me Sane always looks better with Merlin in the side sliding the ball through to him, Whenever Spanish Dave is missing Sane looks less threatening, but then it also brings up the issue of Mendy and Sane playing together.

You are right sane and dave do seem to have a great connection,we are going to see less of dave next season as was the plan this season so we need to find different connections,how we do that is a bit beyond my tactical nous

Expect a battle.

We'll try and disrupt you. Lots of dirty tricks. Lots of cheating. Lots of gamemanship.

it wont be beautiful. In fact it will be ugly. We are here for the result. Nothing else.

spurs results improved when he had his long lay off so they do actually play better without him, i just think we will see a relentless city tonight and spurs wont be able to contain us,,i said 3 goals for us but it could be 5

If he starts those 3 i am jumping in a car and slapping him myself

What a great spectacle for £50,i would be fuming if we played football like that,small team tricks

They did the same in the first leg so I'm pretty sure we will 'expect' it.

 

[marco]

Don't forget the game plan they will probably use is to hit us 'smash and grab', if we get the early goal and another soon after then their game plan goes tits up, im pretty sure then they will collapse

Would be such a shame if Sane doesn't start, he's one of the biggest talents in Europe.

I think you're probably right with that line-up though.

 

[JPBB]

Yep. We are a smaller team than you.

Not sure that is right. A goal at any time is what we need.

Every team we face that mate

Yep. But Pochettino teams are good at it. And we have a couple of players who could nick a goal.

Valium sandwiches already made.

Come on you Blues!!!

Let me get this straight, your missus smuggled Valium into strangeways and your cell mate nicked the bread and butter from the prison kitchen? I daren’t ask how you are watching it...:)
