Spurs (A) - Sun 5th Feb, 16:30 | Pre-Match Thread

Verry attacking side, Spurs are there to get a good hiding from us

 

[SebastianBlue]

That defence looks poor, not changing my prediction of 2-1 Spurs. Prove me wrong please City

That’s the spirit.

 

[City & Blue Brazil]

Not exactly a team that screams clean sheet

Does any with our non shot stopping gk?

 

[Manc123]

Soo it seems weve gone for pace in back line hence ruben and laporte not starting. I think ruben isnt being rushed back as he was last season and end up injured straight away again and i think his importance come the champs league.

 

[G-Star Medium Rare]

Speed star Walker will hopefully keep Spuds at bay on the break

 

[oakiecokie]

Today?

Apologies mate. ;)

Might have to bin matchday forum….

 

[Mancini’s Pastilles]

Can anyone explain why our best defender Ruben dias can't get a game?

 

[Fordyboy46]

I really hope Pep isn't going to play Lewis at left back, nothing like hanging a kid out to dry if he is there

 

[mcfcpride]

What giving Pep 10 days off does..

 

[richards30]

At a guess, off the ball:

---------------Ederson
Lewis---Walker---Akanji---Ake
----------Rodri----Bernardo
Mahrez------Alvarez-----Grealish
--------------Haaland

On the ball
---------------Ederson
------Walker---Akanji---Ake
-----------Lewis---Rodri
Mahrez------Bernardo-----Grealish
--------Alvarez------Haaland


Looks messy, hope Pep's got it right.

There is literally no need for walker at CB with Dias available!

 

[blueparrot]

Fuck me theres some right whinging fuckers on here today.

Today? This is the thread they live for.

 

[Vienna_70]

BBC haven't a fucking clue

Unbelievable.

More likely to be 3-3-3-1:

Ederson

Walker, Akanji, Aké

Lewis, Rodri, Silva

Mahrez, Álvarez, Grealish

Håland.

 

[01cravend]

Walkers not at CB is he?!

Hope not as going by his game there vs Southampton.. he might cut it in that position in League 2

 

[Deleted member 77198]

I can’t understand some of the faint hearts on here. Spurs are shite.

They’re fifth in the best league in world football, they’re nowhere near shite.

Plus that stadium is a proper bogey stadium for us and we’ve got Walker and Akanji at centre back.

And we’re Manchester City, a team who still to this day do things nobody can understand in what is known as ‘Typical City’ (it’ll never leave us), with a fanbase who have decades of experience of it all.

 

[Claytop]

Tbf I’m fine with KDB on the bench if Bernardo re discovers his form.

 

[lancs blue]

Foden must be playing around with Pep’s daughter (don’t blame him)

Ah the old Paul Moulden/Mel Machin theory

 

[VinceYoungisaBLUE]

What giving Pep 10 days off does..

haha for real but I'm excited to see it work or all go out the window after its 2-0 after 20'

 

[Bournemouth Blue]

No problem with the starters, but I am not sure the formation as depicted is right. Rodri will surely play behind Alvarez, and Lewis can probably do a similar job to Cancelo. Glad to see Kyle back in the starting lineup, but sad Phil is still not ready.

 

[Chi-town blues]

At a guess, off the ball:

---------------Ederson
Lewis---Walker---Akanji---Ake
----------Rodri----Bernardo
Mahrez------Alvarez-----Grealish
--------------Haaland

I think messi is in paris ;)
