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

Tricky one with Kev. He does need game time but Spurs are an intensive team and this is probably not the best game to re-introduce him back into to fitness.

Shite news about Kovacic :( busy period coming so frustrating.

 

[kaz7]

Just not the same team without Rodri and De Bruyne. Gundogan sadly not the player of old, Phil seems to be in his own world. Lewis couldn't catch a bus. Need to strengthen in January or we've no chance of anything this season.

I am hopeful but not expecting a win here , we really need to stop the rot somehow though

 

[stonerblue]

I don’t see how anything can change. The players are not good enough it’s not a dip in form this is our form now.

Spurs will be looking forward to this

Give over

Maybe he was and got injured afterwards? Unlikely, but guess it doesn’t really matter ultimately.

Pep made it clear he wasn’t happy with national doctors though.

the tactical thing was nonsense, city xtra took the info from some croatian football account and that guy just wrote that without mentioning the source of the info.

no way would kova be subbed off at half time in an important game, no chance. i couldn’t find any official info about him at the time, only a journalist mentioning quadriceps.

Given the great news this week plus the team needing everyone behind them, it would be good not to see the customary fire drill on 80 minutes tomorrow in the stands

I reckon we'll beat Spurs and the Dippers then all bets are firmly off. It's a Pep team. They tend to win when they absolutely fucking have to and have no chances left. Happens every year.

Fuck it , I'm in for a win.

Form is temporary but class is permanent and I’m a cliche ****
3-0

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

Father rubin is out

Kovacic is a big miss just when things were looking more positive on an injury front.

But Pep staying is huge, it's at home and we will fucking stick it to those Spud bastards.

City 4-2 Spuds

A flat back 4 no overlapping no inverting. Stay compact then De Bruyne just launch the ball in behind for Haaland to score all 4.

Job done.

I like this s/c88 but half the match day thread don't hold your view on Kovo ;-)

We don't have a player that can replace Rodri but Kovacic gives us a bit of drive and energy in the middle of the park. He will be a big miss and if Pep uses Gundo there instead they'll have a lot more to say!

Time to give GazBaz a ring and NDJ give them a half each :-)

He's the one that said years ago that gundo was a bad buy ..
For someone who's been watching City as long as he says..he's not a good judge of players..

Can we strap up barry out of his retirement and bring him in tomorrow?

There's absolutely no bollocks on him, just a big wet fanny that needs a good wipe.

 

[Fordyboy46]

Who plays in Kov's position then, we have nobody left who's capable of playing the DM role
