Spurs (a) pre-match thread

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

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

The manager won't accept four on the bounce.

He has been part of it. Hopefully he won't want to either!

Spurs may have one eye on the fa cup semi and don't have much to play for in the league seeing top 4 go right to the group stage. Need a win badly.

 

[Academica]

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.

Your right he isn't God, but can you tell me a season where we have played better football and been more successful than this one.

 

[SuperKevinHorlock]

We will lose and no doubt be the victims of further bad decisions that never seem to even themselves out!

 

[brianon10]

think we will be well beaten here too

I think the players looked absolutely fucked last night. They have put everything in to a grueling season and these high intensity games have really taken it out of them. We haven’t won at spurs in a while and this will be very tough. I think Fernandinho could do with a rest. Delph and Sergio should come back in. For me anything other than a defeat is a good result and an improvement on last season. Then we will have a full week to recover.

i think dinho is suspended

i think dinho is suspended

In which case he gets an enforced rest.

Maybe play Delph in his position and put zinchenko/Danilo at left back?

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Ederson
Danilo, Stones, Laporte, Delph
Gundogan, De Bruyne
Sterling, B Silva, Sane
Aguero

 

[Don Karleone]

Can't wait to see how they fuck us over in this one.

Totally agree, sad that our run of bad games has come at this tim3 of season with such important games.id rather have had this run earlier and lost to crap sides rather than this.for players sake I hope they can muster a great effort to beat spurs( I think it’s a tall order mentally) and shut critics up and end season on great run again, achiev3 record points and goals etc., and win league on a high.i think it’s all about team selection now based on mental or physical fatigue.love to get that respect and positive comments back again.c,mon city.

Stones is lacking confidence, the manager said it himself, what is it with everyone here including Stones in their starting line up? you want a performance against Spurs and you leave Vinny and Ota out of your starting 11. Madness!

Otamendi could probably do with a rest but Kompany should be given the nod over Stones. So yes, I agree...in part.

Not a bad shout that. For me now it seems performance levels have evened out across the squad. Barring the odd exception now and then, no one is playing superb week in week out and no one is regularly having a mare. At the moment playing our "best" players isn't guaranteeing anything but a morale sapping defeat I'm sorry to say. The sooner this title's wrapped up the better.

Last 3 results mate?

 

[Le Havre Oswald]

Need to get back to winning ways

 

[Txiki Txiki Bang Bang]

Last 3 results mate?

First result was down to tactical blunders from pep (Gundo on the wing, Laporte as a full back)

Second result was down to Sterling failing to convert and Pep not making the changes quickly.

Third result was down to a couple of factors - UEFA's corruption, Vinny not playing, Jesus impersonating a headless chicken, Pep losing his head and getting sent off which in turn led to the players losing hope.


If Pep plays to our full strength tomorrow, no tinkering, no over thinking things through, a solid back 4 , 1 cm, 1 dm , 3 attacking midfielders and kun upfront we should get this done and dusted, no more 3 at the back experiment, a new approach is always appreciated but not at this time of the season.

 

[Franknorgrovesnephew]

I put us down as a draw but the more I think it we can beat spurs there playing ok but I think we will win.

Pep didn't lose his head.

 

[ONTHERUNWITHTHAKSIN]

First time I'm not confident going into a game this year

The lads looked totally fucked after last night and lack their own confidence in the officials

Kompany to start this one and Sergio is a must.

Delph back as LB
