Spurs (H) - Sat 23rd Aug, 12:30 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

[BringBackSwales]

81 was before my time (I've disliked them for different reasons since) but I've mellowed to them after they rolled over to hand us the title for the 4 peat.

I didn't see their full game against Burnley but apparently they weren't that great. I'd start the same team as on Saturday with the exception of probably Rico (for either khusanov or nunez) and possibly Doku. The rest are good to go

I’d love to see Cherki start for Jez

He’ll change it as needed. Horses for courses

Exactly, let’s not all make bitter comments about the best manager in our history. Not you, the poster you were replying to

 

[BringBackSwales]

No doubt Pep will change it around again two games in. Trafford, Nunes, Dias, Gvardiol, Ait-Nouri, Gundogan, Gonzalez, Bernardo, Reijnders, Marmoush, Haaland

You are a bitter bloke you really are. As another poster already replied Pep will play the best side he thinks for every match. Hmmm the best coach in our history (maybe in the history of football) or Fordy, that’s a very marginal call

 

[Paleblue2]

Same team for me, prefer Lewis to Nunes first half and then switch them again, as per Wolves

 

[burning blue soul]

This is a fair representation of how I want to batter spurs. They are the football equivalent of a limpet.
6-0 please.

Ha ha

 

[JamesMCFC]

Looking forward to seeing Reijnders ball on Saturday

 

[Sam69]

I hope to find the same lineup as against Wolverhampton, with two changes: Khusanov and Marmoush in place of Rico and Doku.

Khusanov will help manage depth during quick transitions and give Ait Nouri the freedom to play out wide, attack, and contribute offensively. We will need Marmoush's defensive work to help Ait Nouri, as well as his direct play and shots from outside the box.

On the hour mark, Doku and Cherki will come on with tired legs to cause panic and finish them off.

............................Trafford.......................

Khusanov......Stones.....Dias........Ait nouri

......................Nico Gonzalez.......................

........... Reijnders......... Bernardo................

Oscar Bobb...............................Marmoush
............................ Haaland..........................

 

[flook]

Trafford
Nunes, Stones, Dias, Ait-Nouri
Nico, Bernardo
Bobb, Reijnders, Marmoush
Haaland

I know he won't but I'd like to see

Trafford
Stones, Dias, Gvardiol(or Ake)
Nunes, Cherki, Nico, Reijnders, Ait-Nouri
Haaland, Marmoush

 

[Blue Til Death]

I think City will hand these cunts their arseholes on Saturday, they are due it for sure…!

 

[yankblue]

I fucking hate Spurs

 

[Columbia]

Hopefully Pep has shown the team the 4-0 last season as motivation.

 

[Xhavenjoe]

Looking forward to seeing Reijnders ball on Saturday

He has only one?

 

[schfc6]

This could be a tricky game.

Spurs are already playing better than last season.

It certainly isn’t going to be an easy game.

There is a possibility of a potentially upset.

City need to be on top of their game.

Spurs plus Thomas Frank is not a combo that particularly suits us. We have very average record vs Spurs and Frank nearly always caused us issues.

The average record is a myth.

 

[schfc6]

The average record is a myth.

How is it a myth? We didn’t win in the first 4 attempts at their new ground did we? They’ve caused us plenty of problems at home too. 4-0 last year, 3-3 was it the year before?

 

[Mr Ed (The Stables)]

I fucking hate Spurs

So do I.........Any blue that went to the "Centinary FA Cup Final & Replay" will know exactly what a set of cnuts these fcukers are.

 

[Stelea]

Trafford

Stones
Dias
Gvardiol
Ait-Nouri

Nico Gonzalez
Bernardo Silva
Reijnders

Loving that suggested team

Not sure he is a bitter bloke, he just has an opinion, something which is frowned upon on here, yes pep has brought us lots of trophies,.but also isn't immune to critism, Porto vs chavs do you think he got it right that night
