Spurs (A) - Sun 1st Feb, 16:30 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

[Wanchope n me Dickov]

Spurs will be in boring low block mode. We need to attack with pace and go long to mix things up.

If we can bank 4 points from these 2 away games we’re still fighting for the title.

Come on City!

First trip to Spurs on Sunday, I’m out on the 10.20 from Manchester.
Any suggestions for a beer once arrived in London, either in the centre or close to the ground

I've heard the Beehive is a good pub not far from the stadium that welcomes away fans

I seem to recall City winning as many matches as they lost, away to Tottenham, over the last 15 years including a couple of 5-1 victories. City won there last season and twice the season before.

Etihad v them is 100% a Loss. away is 50/50

 

[Franny 1234]

Still hurts how they made mugs of us at the Etihad earlier this season.
Were a stronger team now with our new recruits and our defence are more experienced.
Still not convinced we win but expect a point atleast. CTID

 

[chaddblue]

I’ve just noticed that Spurs have more injuries than us and they’re nearly all first choice players

 

[FLManc]

Second worst home record they have.

Surely we cannot mess this one up.

Not an insult, but how long have you been supporting us?
If we can 'mess' up, we will.
Not being negative, but I've supported us way too long to take anything for granted.

I know what you mean mate..I take nothing for granted..but this spurs team are truly awful.

Easily one of the worst 5 teams in the league this year and their home record is awful

 

[TonyM]

Pep, can we please try to win this one. Please.

 

[Bluekiwi]

1981 still hurts

 

[SatOnTheWall]

We owe these a good hiding. Come on, lads.

 

[blue b4 the moon]

1981 still hurts

That walk through them all as an 18 year old back to some railway station was not pleasant, especially as me & my Dad ended up lost on the way and were right at the back of a massive queue, think we ended up on the last train.

FOYS

 

[Doc_Testosterone]

Spurs can’t win at home. Naturally means we are going to lose this weekend.

 

[axlgod]

Spuds are fucking pathetic.
Their whole season, every season revolves around playing us.
They are not bothered about anything else.
They turn up twice a season.
Top fucking six club or whatever, my fucking hairy arse.
Fuck off spuds.

 

[OldhamBlue94]

Donna
Nunes Khusa Guehi Ait-Nouri
Nico Rodri Silva
Doku Semenyo
Haaland

 

[Kamikaze Blue]

Hate this fixture, and hate losing to Spurs almost more than anyone else. At least with Guehi and Semenyo available and well rested we should be able to put out a strong team. On paper better in almost every position. But the feckers seem to have this hoodoo over us where we just come to pieces playing them. So cmon city let’s put them in their place for a change.

 

[Goater101]

Entering the period of the reason where every result has an implication on the where the season ends. I’d go with this team, flood the middle of the pitch and sustain the pressure. An early goal and spurs will fall apart.

 

[Blue and true]

Last chance saloon for the league, really. United helped us out last week and we now need to go on a quintessential Pep run; I fully believe that Arsenal will implode if we exert pressure.

 

[Blue Coop]

To win this league we need to finally win a few tough games, which in my mind means taking 6 pts from the next two, starting here. We really should be winning this game.

 

[Marvin.]

Pep's pre-match press conference is at 12.30. Usually boring because Pep doesn't give much away, but we might find out how long Doku is out for. Post-Galatasaray, Pep suggested he had a calf strain, but now they will have had time to assess it properly.

 

[waspish]

Pep not doing press conference today for some reason
