Otamendi is utter garbage. One of the players along with Mahrez, I'd like shipped out this summer

He would walk into pretty much any other team

A huge game and not much time to prepare. Losing De Bruyne is a huge blow as he was becoming so dominant again. They will play on the counter so much like in our games against Spurs we have to keep the ball well and not make errors in our passing. We have given the ball away a lot in the past two games and that has led to several chances on goal. Stamp out the errors and we should win the game.

If anyone is really concerned about the outcome of this game just remember , its OSG trying to outwit Pep Guardiola and it removes any of the doubts.

Good point, made me chuckle that!

We have given the ball away a lot in the last two games against Spurs, because Pochettino knows how to pressure us in dangerous areas (in our own half), I'm not sure the scum midfield and their manager are capable of doing the same to us though, which gives me hope we will perform better on Wednesday night and control the game more to our liking.

ok, just my take here,
otamendi can be a little over board with fouls and losing a bit of pace, but overall is quite steady, i have no problem with him in the side. ya a few more mistakes this season but that's true for all our backs.
Mahrez needs to go, not because he is bad, he isn't, he's very good. He just does not fit in the scope of our team dynamics. He needs to be on a side where he gets first string minutes, he won't here. here his time is limited, so under the pressure he tries too hard to impress. he holds on too long and gets tackled and is forced into bad passing options and gives it away. Also instead of passing he shoots too often from poor positions and misses wildly. for him the team doesn't seem to be as high of a priority as his own attempts at accomplishments.

It has been our errors more than their pressing. Laporte with a poor touch when not really under close pressure. Stones playing a poor ball yesterday straight to them. Just need to pick the right passes and execute them properly.

We haven’t played them three times in ten days either.
