Spurs (A) | Pre-Match Thread

As usual the media trying to make it all about Pep & Maureen , very tiresome , but today will be a good test for our defence, if we don't give away stupid penalties (surely Walker will be warned by Pep before this game) and keep a clean sheet I really fancy us to beat a rejuvenated Tottingham, but over 60 years has to be the longest rejuvenations of any football club. Would take a nice tidy 2-0 win just to show everyone we aren't going away, we then have a couple of winnable home games, and it will be business as usual.

The suggestion that Manchester City get favours from the footballing establishment is really rather odd.

Is the correct answer. Of course it's entirely possible Mahrez and Gundogan will play just to piss everyone off in the match thread

Feeling very confident. Lots of positivity after Pep's extension, many players that have scored for their national teams and the injury situation is getting better and better.

Hope you don't mind the amendment Marv .

Unless we step up our performances from recent ones, we wont get more than a draw......their midfield will run through and behind our static pairing, Son will have space to run at Walker and that is almost impossible to defend......

Any 2 0r 3 of Gundogan, Rodri and Mahrez starting will leave us exposed.

Hopefully Cancello can deputise at left back - not ideal but better option than any of the others if Ake is still out

Heart says win...head says draw/loss

Cancelo was excellent against Liverpool, tbf.

Now Peps signed the contract hopefully we can move away from the Manciniesque winning by not conceding back to where our goal difference would finish top 4 if it were converted to points.

After all we’ve seen in recent years I still can’t summon up your level of confidence when City are concerned.. I was 57 this week which may be the reason.. I (like many others) have seen some shit over the years and can’t shake off the past

I am also a long-suffering fan (since 1967) but I just have a feeling about today. We have battered Spurs in the last few games but they have somehow fluked results. We should have won at their stadium by four or five last season. There was something in Pep's body language this week and I can smell revenge.
