Spurs (A) - Tues 14th May, 20:00 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

[MCFC1993]

Kick off time 20:00 (BST). Live on Sky Sports for those in the UK.

This is the one, this was always the one, we haven't scored a goal at Spurs' new stadium in the league but we did beat them in the cup this season.

Obviously the importance of this game will be known after United-Arsenal tomorrow but the chances are that we have to win.

The atmosphere will be weird, a lot of Spurs fans don't want to win but there is a scenario where top 4 may be possible, that starts with them beating Burnley and Liverpool beating Villa before this game.

The XI picks itself I believe:
----------------Ederson
Walker---Dias---Akanji---Gvardiol
-----------Rodri------Kovacic
Bernardo---De Bruyne------Foden
--------------------Haaland

Come on the blues!

 

[york away to this!]

History beckons...

Too early to start drinking for this one?

Anything performance like today and we’ll be fine.

Hopefully Villa beat Liverpool Monday too

 

[Haaland94]

FFS, let me enjoy the Fulham win. I thought I was done drinking, and then I see this shit...
Right, time to switch pints to vodka...


Anywho, same team as today, Nathan is injured (?), so we can play either Stonesy or Kyle for his pace in there.
0-3 City. We won our last game there (FA Cup), we will win again, and we will win big.

Serious question, would their players throw this game?

I highly doubt it.

Why does it have to be Spurs away?!

 

[blueste41]

Serious question, would their players throw this game?

Would they fuk, even their fans who claim they want to lose will be right behind them at kick off. Could you ever watch City and hope they lose?

No but if they have nothing to play for their level will drop.

Asking for a Rushden mate???

Absolutely no chance.

 

[Haaland94]

Expecting the best performance of the season from Spurs ;).

Spurs win today and villa lose they’ll see it as a chance to pip them for that final spot while it’s still possible it’s still on,makes our game on Tuesday maybe better as they have to go for it hopefully leaving huge gaps ..

Pick a fit back 4 then the same midfield and forward 6. No need for any changes, tiredness won't be an issue when it's 2 games for a title.

I would fucking love it if spurs just threw the game, played a 3rd round carabao cup side and we spanked them just to see those mentalist arsenal fans lose the plot. It's not going to happen though, the club won't give a shit about potentially helping arsenal and this fan chat about wanting to lose. they will want to win the game and they want the money, they'll not be doing us any favours, we will have to earn it.

If it meant the rags winning the league, yes.

 

[Blu1]

This is the game we all worry about but the team are on form so fully trust them to get it done. We need haaland in bully mode

 

[RayCTID]

Similar to us and Everton in 2014 and the Dzeko game.

No but if they have nothing to play for their level will drop.

If they win today and Liverpool beat Villa then top 4 is very much possible.
