Spurs (A) - Wed 30th Oct, 20:15 | EFL Cup | Pre-Match Thread

[Shazza458]

Surely this is a game Spurs should go strong in. They're not winning the title and getting top four will be tough. As ourselves, Liverpool, Arsenal and Villa are in the champions league and will not prioritise the competition it's a chance to win a trophy.

As for us we have too many injuries to take any risks with key first team players. You never know with Pep though.

You’d think so but it’s Spurs
Spineless club who are allergic to trophies.
Still playing lots of games themselves

I can’t believe that our poll is predicting a defeat! We are MANCHESTER CITY, the best team in the land and all the World!
Come on City.

1349 train from Chesterfield, just hope City put in a performance even if we go out. Where are people drinking before the game?

Think there may be a few around Liverpool street? Never drank around the stadium before I've always drove so not entirely sure- getting train down myself this time so looking for an away boozer myself mate

no away pubs near ground. im guessing most will be near Euston for a few before getting tube onto Victoria line, and heading for seven sisters?

Nearly 50% down for us losing?

:)

Once Rodri gets 45 minutes.

Interestingly City's odds at the exchange which began at 2.20 to win, drifted all the way out to 2.94 ish-and now slowly back into 2.66.

That suggests a reasonably strong team-so I fully expect Ortega, Stones, Ake, Gundogan, Foden, Nunes and even Savio and Lewis to play some part-plus McAtee and O'Reilly.

Our first team is.

Sorry if this has been covered already but in the absence of an injuries thread, does anyone else think it’s unusual that the nature of Grealish and Doku’s injuries are shrouded in mystery?

Thanks mate will head to seven sisters

With the EDS playing last night, we're going to have to play a reasonably strong team simply because we have no other options. Can see it being something like this:

Ortega
Lewis
Akanji
Ake
Braithwaite
Gundogan
O’Reilly
Nunes
Savinho
McAtee
Foden

Hamilton Hall usually has lots of Blues

 

[Fred_Quimby]

Looks like O’Neil, Wright and Alfa-Ruprecht may be on the bench tonight as they didn’t figure in the EDS game at Grimsby last night.

 

[Eccles Blue]

Our first team is.

Our every team is as far as I’m concerned.


But then I’m old and believe in the tooth fairy. :-) ;-)

 

[Gaz (FMwkdsoul)]

Kinda wanna see Nunes at F9 tonight, think him running off the shoulder with Foden & Mcatee on the ball could be fun.

*No idea if he can finish but off the ball runs are better than most

Hamilton Hall at Liverpool Street Station; Woodin Shades and Dirty Dick which is on the opposite side of the road when you come out of Liverpool Street Station - a little to the left

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

Looking fw to this. Shot to nothing. I cant see our reserve team beating their main team, at theirs, their cup final, but would like the shock.

You missed John Stones?

In that case maybe Wilson-Esbrand at left-back?
