Spurs (a) - pre-match thread

For me, this falls into the 'must not lose' category. Spurs have already drawn with Liverpool and Everton in the league, so if we walk away with a point on Sunday, one of our closest challengers will have dropped six from twenty-one.
 
I'd take a point. Spurs will be up there this season.

We get a break then. Get players back, and go again.
 
I have just had a look on Spurs fan forum, they are confident of victory for two reasons -: 1- KDB is out, they consider him our best this season and
2- We have not beaten a top side yet, apparently the average league position of teams beaten by City is 15th. Just thought it interesting to see the other view.
I am going for City 2-1, they do not normally score a lot of goals at home without Kane, I believe their style is more suite to away games, that's from what I have seen so far.
 
Wow the press, pundit and sports presenter brigade are GAGGING for City to lose this one. Very very few - if any - going for a City win. Did they not see how lucky Celtic were....
9 chanes with 3 on target to City's 20 chances with 9 on target...

That takes the pressure off us a bit though in truth, it's a game we can afford to lose in many ways... it's not going to be a shock if we lose or that they can make much of(even though they will probably still claim it's a big shock front page news), we'll still be top of the table and it's not a place where many teams will bag points this season either.

The main worry is the ref for me, I say we are playing far better football than Spurs, more dominating and better on the ball so if they are going to take points they are going to have to work their socks off and probably left knackered for their next game.

I completely agree. I actually feel very relaxed going into this game because I think we can afford to lose. That makes Everton H an important game but we can deal with that when it comes. I think that lack of 'must win' pressure, and the removal of the "Can City break the record vs Spurs" means that we'll play very well. I do think they'll press high, but I think we'll be expecting it and the midfield movement behind that press will exploit that space. It could go either way, but I'm quietly confident we'll come away with a point, minimum.

Forgot to mention the ref at first that's the main worry and we need to start being more vocal at refs as fans since the players can't as much anymore, that's the one thing we can't control but they should hear it big time if they're screwing us over(I'm still mad about last season regarding the Spurs games personally and it's not often I remember games in this way). We are too passive as fans imo at City, the way people reacted to Agueros elbow made a shit storm and they got what they wanted... when have we ever been heard like that?

not overly dissimilar to the build up to the game at the swamp.
fuck 'em!
win, lose or draw, we've only just begun our journey under guardiola.
jealous rhetoric won't stop us.
