City Vs Tottenham Pre match Thread

[jared]

Astounding to see such over confidence given such inconsistency were playing with and the injury situation. I can see Townsend ripping us a new one on our big pitch and spurs passing game giving us loads of trouble. Defensively they are sound and could probably cope with Sergio and the beast. I'd be happy with a draw on this one which if course won't be good enough to close the gap on the leaders

Home form is pretty assuring, mate. Reckon we are top just based on our home games.

It's our away form that is crippling us. Plus, have you been following the spurs impotence in front of goal recently. They are a strong side no doubt but at home we match up well with any team. Bayern aside.

Townsend doesn't scare me. I am more concerned that we have a great deal of possession and can't break through and a mistake at the back costs us. We need to be very, very careful with that. But overall, I think we will beat Spurs at home - we generally do (I think the last time we didn't was the year they pipped us to the CL).

With the points we've already dropped, nothing less than a win will do.

And that's what we'll get. 2-0.

hope spurs dont park the bus....................but of course they will, see if we've mastered how to play against that dark art yet

Called playing like the scum pinball football. and diving for a pen thats the best way.

Townsend is one of those players who will do better for England than for his club, every now and then someone like that comes along, not sure why, but hes a different player in an England shirt than a spurs one, maybe Englands direct high tempo style suits him better, spurs trying to play possession football and he looks uncomfortable doing it.

Fun fact:

Andros Townsend has had 45 shots this season and scored one goal.

An absolutely mind-boggling 2.2% conversion rate.

I need a graph, a Pie and a Bar chart. Oh ..and a Venn diagram please.

The reason I love this stat is because his one goal was a cross.

They've scored 9 goals in 11 games, hardly ripping up trees.
