Gundo and KDB have final third quality and thus playing deeper with a dedicated holding mid makes sense as they can drop back then move forward as needed. Playing 2 players who are not noted for their offensive playmaking together limits the attack.

Dinho has final third quality.

That stay doesn't factor in the number of times he's so far offsides the play breaks down. A stat like this is rubbish for telling anyone who is actually offsides more... It's like a stat that compares the number of speeding tickets 2 blokes have- it may be indicative that the one with more speeds more often but if the one with less has only been driving a fraction as long and is speeding so fast on occasion his car breaks down before the copper nabs him or so fast the speed gun breaks... pointless.

Right and Wrong.

The reason why that stat is unhelpful is because it's based on "games" rather than "minutes". If it had been number of offsides per "90minutes" then the the claims of uncalled offsides (which you and a few others have latched on to) would have been a dumb one.

The reason why this stat isn't reliable, is because it tells us little about how many minutes each player played in each game. Since Jesus was often a sub, it stands to reason that he played fewer minutes generally than Aguero.

Hence he could be a worse culprit than Aguero albeit his fewer minutes 'per game' gives the appearance of the opposite.

But rather than use the sensible an obvious argument, the biased minds of those who prefer Aguero or perhaps just dislike Gabby simply just jumped to the s first"uncalled offsides" claim it could find.

Bruh!!!

Not if you have 2 fullbacks flying up and down the wing it doesn't - I believe the poster had Cancelo and Angelino as the fullbacks in the post you replied to. Fwiw, I agree that we won't see that in this game as it's probably a risk early on in the season that we don't need to take. I'm sure we'll see it at some stage though and given Spurs' main threat comes through the middle with Erikson and Kane (no Son), I've seen worse teams.

Ederson

Cancelo
Stones
Laporte
Angeliño

Rodri
Dinho
De Bruyne

Mahrez
Sterling
Bernardo

Spurs still don't have much in the way of width so I'd go with the two attacking fullbacks and shore up the centre instead. Mahrez and Bernardo at inside forward to leave the two wing backs the wide areas.

The last time we went defensive in the middle against them we lost and no sergio? won't happen
Jo has just got here and angel was awful just 2 weeks ago

Just a bit of advice , they won’t let you in with half/half scarves, City scarves only .

Not certain that Bernardo and Fernandinho are 100% fit. If not then keep the side that played so well at West Ham. It's a long season so no need to rush anybody back.

Pep said he had slight muscle problem on sat,bernie that is,dinho hasn't played in months,like you say no need to rush either of them,he won't drop dave,he is still the glue that keeps us ticking and in control
 
Wouldn't be opposed to the same starting eleven as Saturday. The only potential changes I think would be Aguero for Jesus and Bernardo for David. Everyone else earned their spot for this weekend.

I think we are going to batter you. And by that I mean we are going to try and outmuscle you in midfield, overwhelm you with our physicality or, in other words, try to kick you off the park. That is what Sissoko and Ndombele are there for. And i won't be surprised to see our nasty, snidey, little shit Lamela playing too. (Sadly Alli won't be fit enough to really piss you off with his cheating cocky ways).

We are not West Ham. We can play. And we will want to play in your half and we think we can win. Maybe this our year to beat you. We'll need a bit of luck but it is possible.

And you are right. It is a proper test for Rodri. Lets see how good he is.

Haha oh you are serious,i remember the 4 leg breaking tackles in 2 games against us,if all you have got is dirty tactics then i pity you

front six of:

Rodri

Kev
Dave

Mahrez
Raz
Bernie

might be interesting, albeit has Bernie ever played on the left?
Raheem could certainly cause Spuds issues through the middle.

No way will Jesus be dropped, he will be our main striker this season slowly edging out Sergio.
