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

Cancelo is a better left back than Ake anyway

Cancelo was excellent against Liverpool, tbf.

he was I agree but he can be inconsistent...probably not helped that he doesnt play consistently to be fair

possibly....better going forward - defensively not so sure.....he played well vs Liverpool as Ric just pointed out so hopefully he will continue with that. He needs a consistent run of games there

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

Gundogan was dead on his feet for Germany this week as Spain tore them to pieces. I am one of his fans but it was one of the worst displays I have ever seen from him. By way of contrast Rodri ran the entire game from start to finish.

Hopefully Guardiola will have watched it and seen that he clearly needs a rest. Play Rodri today, and Gundogan on Wednesday.

Come on boys let's kick on and do this :)

Ake isn't a left back and neither is Cancelo. An ongoing problem that's not going to be resolved at the moment. Ake is a better defender no doubt but is out anyway. Cancelo will play but was bought as a right back replacement for Walker

Huge game, Spurs wont give us 3 points easily or at all...

We lost this fixture last season 2-0, despite having 68% possession and 19-3 shooting stat. Basically they made 3 shots scored 2, we made 19 shots (only 6 on target) and scored fuck all. Quit a usual happening from last season.

After throwing away extra 2 points vs Liverpool now we really need to get a big win away from home imo.

If we have a penalty today I hope whoever is taking it did practice them in last 2 weeks.

Just thinking about tonight’s game and remembering Sergio’s first half performance at WHL a few years ago. He absolutely terrorised them. Went off with a muscle tweak but must be one of the best 45 minutes ever.

He played on the very edge that night. He was sharp and faster than I'd ever seen.
