Spurs (H) Pre Match Thread

[Marvin]

I have to agree with you about Ederson, i've never understood all the hype about him, he's great playing it out from the back but when it comes to saving shots his attemps sometimes seem a bit halfhearted to say the least.

better than De Gea though heh "Blue"

Hopefully Aymeric has a better day on Saturday...!

I've now developed overnight a massive dose of cityitus. Feelings of dread that we're just having the league cup only this season. I've started on the antibiotics.

Human nature, mate, and I'll bet deep down most of us associate with your feelings. It's mid-April and we can still do the domestic treble! What a time to be a Blue.

If anything I think lat night will strengthen to teams resolve to win the title. I think we will beat Spurs comfortably on the weekend.

I can see this being 2-0 City

 

[northwichblue]

I hope we win by 2 or 3 goals,
Dont want any 1-0 with 10 minutes to go nail- biters

I think we will come out on a mission on Saturday. We will be angry at what happened and will move to beat them as bad as we can. Now that we have the CL out of the way you will see the team trying to put up as many goals as possible in every match to improve the GD. We don't have to rest our team as much anymore.

The dynamic is similar to how it was last night. A draw is a great result for them and disaster for us.

They will be under pressure to get something from the game though because they're after top 4. A first half goal would be nice.

Bring in Sane and rotate some of the defence. Play Laporte because he needs to just get yesterday out of his system and he won't make mistakes this time. If we defend well I feel like we will win.

Fernan straight back in, we simply need that protection in midfield. It is obvious what Poch is going to do and Gundogan just doesn't have the steel in him.

May not play mate. Other players have been dropped for less than them howlers.

are you saying #bringbackjoe?

Eddies pros for the team far outweigh the cons

I want us to tear them a new one.

Especially that twat Trippier. Just watched it back and he's giving it the old fingers to the lips job.

Just been thinking about that. Am I alone in finding that a really classless gesture? No exceptions. I wouldn't respect any of the City players for doing it, and I don't want to see them doing it.

(Raz's cupped hands behind the ears in Montenegro is pretty different for me, especially since he was grinning and turning it into a bit of a joke…)

 

[northwichblue]

We just have to win, no iffs and buts and maybes, a draw and it could be league over

I think Corrigan is passed it now

I understand the primary responsibility for a keeper is not conceding, but that isn't the way we're built.

Guardiola has, and always will have, a keeper who could in theory play an outfield position - it's just the way he works. Ederson is without doubt the best for that.

We're not exactly shipping goals are we - we've conceded 2 more than the Dippers

Oh my. I think what sums up your post is as highlighted above. Eddie is an intrinsic part of the team & to say he’s half-hearted is a joke. I can’t believe some of the things I read on this forum. Can only assume it’s PTSD

 

[SWP's back]

The fact that Sane and Fern did not start makes no sense at all

Apart from the fact that our starting wide men scored 3 goals?

just shoot to Hart’s left and it would be in the net. How anyone can question Eddie ffs.

Yes indeed sir..come on city..early kick off and tired legs from both teams. The crowds are usually quite for these early kick off times..not for this one. Come on you boys in blue..bring the noise.we shall lift these deserving champions. Get right behind them from start to finish.

 

[Gabriel]

Ederson
Danilo Stones Laporte Mendy
Fernandinho
de Bruyne Bernardo
Sterling Aguero Sane

(Jesus/Silva/Gundogan to be the subs used)
Walker is needed fresh for 'that lot' who have more pace
