Spurs (a) pre-match thread

[Eaglechief]

Nailed on loss. This squad is a drift. And it comes down to one person.

The referee's?

So that one person isn’t the mastermind that has blown this league away then?
Sniff, sniff

 

[basokla]

Sorry! Just think the run of luck says we lose. I’m sure I’m not alone. Just not afraid to see/say it.

Prove me wrong.

And he’s had a shit week. He ain’t god.

 

[vmsuhail]

Spurs are a decent side, but aren't THAT good. I usually watch them on 3pm kick offs, if City aren't playing and they
haven't been ripping much up.

Spurs won the last 6 PL games.

Eddie
Walker
Vinnie
Laporte
Zinchenko
Delph
Dave
KDB
Bernardo
Sergio
Sane

Maybe stones for Laporte but the thought of nico sitting on his arse every time he's put under pressure at Wembley is terrifying me, he's not good enough for me, yes he has improved on previous seasons but the fact we've bossed almost every game possession wise this season is it any wander he's not looked as bad as he usually does, still got a couple of howlers each game in him if pressed enough. After Saturday wrap up the league as quickly as possible and then give stones and Laporte a run together for the last few games to see how that might look going forward. For me Vinnie is still the man and when fit he's first choice centre half but we should wrap up the league and look to what the future might hold. I'd play Delph as DM to screen the defence as I believe dinho is suspended. Would like to see Foden in particular and Diaz get some more game time off the bench soon also. Wouldn't be surprised to see Gundo start in he midfield 3 on sat but I'd like to see Delph as DM, I think he offers a bit more there than Gundo

I always has us down to lose this game (before we even played the first leg against the bin dippers) because I just knew it would take too much out of the players to play three very tough games in a short space of time and then lift themselves for Spurs as well.

I just want this game out of the way asap, so we can then fully recover and go again for the final push to wrap up the league title.

Let the press wankers have their field day with their predictable talk of "the title race being back on" and "City have fallen apart" etc, but we will recover straight after this game to wrap up the title in short order and shut the fuckers up.

 

[idahoblues]

After looking at today's match thread, it would appear we are losing to these ****s next week, I call bullshit, we'll destroy them 4_0

 

[Pete1986]

Big pitch, big reaction. 0-5 to City with us wrapping up the title 7-1 against Swansea. Got to believe

Pretty much how I see it too. Get this fucking horrible week behind us then back to business.

 

[chaddblue]

Got a feeling we’ll win this one. We’re due a bit of luck and due a couple of decisions to go our way. Surely we can’t lose 4 on the bounce. Also think they might (sub consciously) have one eye on next week

 

[middlewichblue]

I'd rest a majority of the first string they look shot, decent rest then go again

 

[sir baconface]

Can’t see the team lifting itself for this one. An easy win for Spurs.

 

[Ric]

Can’t see the team lifting itself for this one. An easy win for Spurs.

Yeah, it feels like there’s a depressing inevitability about this. The team look dead on their feet and it’s hard to see them lifting themselves for a fourth really tough game in 10 days.

 

[Benarbia]

You worry if we lose at the weekend how much gas is left in the tank for the final few games against relegation scrappers

 

[Ajm1985]

We'll lose that game. The players only have enough for 45 minutes, get massively demotivated by shite decisions and the defence crumbles.

 

[Elbow beards]

We'll win and rap it up against Swansea.

 

[Oyster28catcher]

the players will feel they have let the fans down, three times.

The manager won't accept four on the bounce.

 

[hawkhurst]

Ederson

Walker
VK
Stones
Delph

Gundogan
KDB
Silva

Bernado
Aguero
Sterling

2-1 City.

It’s so rare to predict a defeat and I feel dirty. But our engine room is either knackered or missing and general morale is low.

I’m hoping we’ll see “typical City” prove us wrong!

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

With Aguero back we have a chance. Hopefully he will be fit enough to start.

A draw wouldn't be the end of the world. Another defeat would be awful for morale.
