Pre match thread Spurs v City

3 points and no more injuries.
Too much to ask?

9 first team players in doubt for the game is really testing our depth and again most of them soft tissue injuries clearly suggests we have to address how we handle player management on match days and during the week as it is getting worse.

This and only this will derail our season as with a fully fit squad we are well placed to do better than last season.

I think merlin will be rested so he is ready for next week. With Joe slotting in for Willy, I can see the same team as per Sunderland

Can anyone recommend any pubs in Harrogate that will be showing the match? Cheers.

It is right. The more important point is that most are muscle strains not impact injuries.

Most likely just a run of bad luck.

It's a bit misleading though as 50% are due back this weekend. Whether they make it or not though or whether they are selected is a different matter. We can still field a formidable team even with those absentees

 

[ayrshire_blue]

Thought Silva was out?

I'd go with:
Sagna
MDM
Kompany
Kolarov
Fernando
Fernandinho
Yaya
De Bruyne
Sterling
Aguero

4-3-3

I know Harry Kane's not been at his best so far, but ideally I'd still like a goalkeeper in the side just incase.

 

[Silva_Spell]

If Zabaleta, Mangala, Clichy, Delph, Nasri, Silva, Kalechi are out:

Hart
Sagna------Kompany----Otamendi---Kolarov
Fernando
Dinho------Toure
De Bruyne----Aguero------Sterling

Subs: Caballero, Maffeo, Demichelis, Evans, Navas, Roberts, Bony

Hopefully Zaba can make the bench tho. Been in training for a week now, hasn't he?​

Just had a quick look on a Spurs forum. They're not happy about prioritising tomorrow over the Arsenal game, they're saying that they've now made this a must win game, whilst admitting that it's absurd to call a game vs us a must win, but that's the situation their manager has put them in. To an extent I agree, you NEVER field a weakened team in a derby. If they go down early the crowd could get quite hostile to their team.
