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

[Blue Hefner]

I’m in Ibiza. 1:30pm kick off here….

I’ve no idea how this will go but let’s say 3-1 City. Reijnders, Haaland and Marmoush

 

[johnny crossan]

I've just put Eddy on the bench instead of Ortega in my Guess The Team entry - last knockings farewell seems on the cards. Hope we're in front at the time ;-(

 

[DenisLawBackHeel74]

3-1 City !!!

Let’s ave it ..

 

[Eccles Blue]

Please play John Boy, Mr Pep!!! ;-) :-)
I want to shout/sing/chant Johnny, Johnny Stones, Johnny, Johnny Stones. :-)

Come on City

I fucking hate spurs

Be a test this, but really up for it. The fact Pep promised changes has me wondering a little, naturally we have players who needs the minutes but the win is the most important thing, and who gives way?

Can see Marmoush left, Cherki would be in my thoughts too maybe for the right, or maybe Foden with Cherki central, and I guess we can expect to see Nunes at right back. Which would mean likely Gundo and undroppable Tijani in midfield, and Nico misses out? Ah, the choices!

Have a sneaky feeling Eddie is staying and will start, but I'd be very happy with Trafford also. Frank has a tactical fluidity to switch game plans mid match, so we need to be up for this. My initial feeling was 2-0 but am leaning to 3-1 now, can't stop the City juggernaut when it gets into full flow!

Trafford has to start. More than earned his place.

Pep praised Nico G and Khusa in the presser. Think Nico won't be dropped for Gundo. Gundo or O'Reilly may not make the group with both Rodri and Foden back.

Agreee. Dropping Nico when Rodri and Kova are not ready would be a huge mistake. He played really well last week.

 

[red 2 hats]

Match day finally here, I'm buzzing, train at 9.55am, breakfast in town, 4 - 0 City win, back into town afterwards for vast quantities of alcohol, get home whenever, can't wait.

Good news the 6.20 went OK
Should be in town for 9.30
Now to find a boozer....

 

[MellowJoe]

Gonna be a walk in the park, 3-2

 

[theholysmurf]

City announcing 10% off food and drink before 11:30, 20% off for season ticket holders. Just heads up for any who may miss it.

 

[hcblue95]

Same as last week except maybe Marmoush for Doku. Doku can come on late and run them ragged. 3-1 City I reckon.

Looking forward to this. Certainly a far bigger test than last week.

Also, is this site working extremely slow for anyone else?

 

[Mr. Shush]

Can't stand Spurs. Need to batter them. Props to any Yank who is up this late.
