Spurs (a) pre-match thread

[rnblade]

Ferni missing will be massive loss for us. Not sure how we will cope with him not firing the midfield. Hope we can see a bounce back from a poor couple of weeks. A win will be really tough, Spurs are quick and ruthless. Unless we are similar I can’t see us getting anything. I really hope I am proved wrong.

Too soon after tues,can't see psat a loss then we will get our mojo back

 

[jaiguruKun]

I would put Zinchenko in at LB and play Delph in Centre Midfield. I don’t think Gundogan is good enough defensively to play in Fern’s position. Also Sane needs a rest.

Ederson

Walker Laporte Kompany Zinchenko

Delph

KDB Silva

Bernardo Sterling Jesus

Realistically we only need one win from our last 6 games. So we should maybe see this one as a bit of a free hit as most are expecting us to slip up.

 

[Don Karleone]

Assuming we don't get shafted by the ref, I can see a comfortable win.

It's a big assumption though.

 

[richards30]

It’s amazing how things change in a week? Before the klanfield match we felt invincible yet now a week later everyone is already thinking we will get beat! Lol

 

[citytill1die84]

rags will draw with WBA and City will beat Spurs and win the league and we'll all be to pissed to remember it haha.

If Carlsberg did weekends.

Ah rags play Sunday why? I don't know.

What's the point scenario now? City win, United loss, game over? City win, United draw, game over?

City fans Doom merchants, thank god the players are not city fans..
City will win.

 

[Dazzle84]

I don't know. I'm not as underconfident as most blues.

I think we'll win.

Same here, think we'll put on a show.

 

[citymad]

Think it'll be tight game. Spurs are an excellent side, can see them dominating the midfield at times. i just feel the players will be mentally and physically still fatigued. We may have to wait on the title in the next few games.

 

[K.Reeves right foot]

It's impossible for us to win tomorrow. Kane will claim any goals we score. A loss is therefore the only result possible.

 

[newfaceinhell]

play Sergio.

 

[BacktoBlue]

play Sergio.

He's Injured after Youngs Assault last week

 

[thereWasATime]

I want to see bernie play. He was immense last game. Looking forward to an entertaining draw.

I’m always more concerned with players like Son, Erickson, and Ali bursting through from midfield than anything else when we play these. We seem incapable of tracking marauding midfielders...unless Fernandinho picks him out of the melee in front of goal.

 

[whp.blue]

He might have talked about field players, w/o keepers:

Walker, Vinnie, Ota, Laporte, Delph, Zinchenko
Bernardo, KDB, Gündogan, Yaya, David
Raz, Jesus, Sané

if they had Edison would be playing left back!

I have the same fears but with Fernandinho sitting at home we need someone else to do that job. I expect Pep has been working on strategies and we could be surprised (pleasantly I hope) with his team.

I’m sorry I was not more specific...Fernandinho not playing is my fear, as he is the only person who seems to track midfielders breaking through the lines.

Fingers crossed for a good line up, but I simply expect him to park Gundogan in the hole and play KDB alongside him when defending, as usual.
