Spurs (H) - Sat 23rd Nov, 17:30 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

[The Stockport Iniesta]

Fuckin hell - you are kidding me with that one aren't you??
The players are good enough - they've just got to find form and fitness, and Pep has to find a formula that fits what we have.

I agree with him a bit, injuries are killing us, but time has caught up with a few and there's one or two I don't think are good enough.

We can turn it around to some extent and I'm sure we will but even then I still think we'd be a way off the team from 2 years ago.

 

[levets]

This has become a huge must win game if we are to be still in contention after Anfield

 

[citeh94]

imo need to have Doku back. Missed him today.

 

[Oyster28catcher]

Reckon we'll bounce back. Some time to train between games and the international break will do us good.

 

[super_city_si]

We need a defence. Hope the injured boys sit out the internationals annd are ready. Weve scored 5 and conceded 10 in our last 5 games. Misfiring and leaking like a sieve is not a good combo.

 

[Ric]

Don't even want to begin to think about this for at least a week! Just praying that we get some injured players back and available for selection in the next fortnight.

Disagee
Stones even if fit won’t be match fit
Walker needs to go now
Ake won’t be match fit
Kev not the Kev we need & not fit
Jack won’t play if he plays for England
Bernie not Bernie of old
Gundy slow
We have no creativity
One striker

The list is endless why we are like we are even when all those players were fit we have been really poor this season.

For me this dip is more to do with de motivated players who won it all & players too old on top of awful transfer windows.

115 & is pep staying or going it’s all starting to have an impact

It is what it is & we are just at a rebuild stage

I think a draw is as good as it gets here. I expect a response but this is a horse of a different colour compared to previous autumnal mini-crisies. With respect to the game following this I had a bad nightmare last night. Let's hope that it remains in the realm of dreams.

 

[pride in battle]

Guys this is Spursey we are talking about not prime Brazil ffs

 

[The Fat el Hombre]

Think we'll win (presuming we have a proper defence back). Liverpool away on the other hand...

 

[SWPISHOME]

Ederson

Akanji
Dias
Stones
Gvardiol

Kovacic
Bernardo
De Bruyne

Grealish
Savinho
Haaland

I'm hoping it's something like this and we've players back for selection.

I'm always optimistic when it comes to City, Even I write this game off every season away at Anfield.

A draw would be a good result.

 

[Jwoody19]

I feel like we’ll win this now.

 

[Brunswick Blue]

What with the lleaky midfield of those heading for retirement I fear the worst .

 

[Big Joe Corrigan]

If all return after international break we should go back to 4 CB system
Akanji Stones Dias Gvardiol

I thought Dias injury was long term?

 

[chickaroon]

We'll win this. Big players (and, crucially, leaders) back in, Spurs absolute rubbish away from home. Get behind the lads and we'll do this. 3-1.

Ederson
Akanji, Dias, Gvardiol
Stones, Kovacic
De Bruyne, Foden
Savinho, Haaland, Nunes

This team but Grealish instead of Nunes.

 

[youngbob]

This team but Grealish instead of Nunes.

Going off the assumption that Grealish isn't quite right for whatever reason.

 

[youngbob]

Yeah, these are shite and low on confidence as well. Only they're playing with a fully fit squad.

Need to get back on it and put them in the floor.

 

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

I honestly think Spurs are an easier prospect than either Bournemouth or Brighton. The result at their stadium in the League Cup notwithstanding. If we don't beat these at our gaff now there really is a crisis!
We need to keep Son on a leash because he always seems to do well against us.
