Spurs (A) - Sun 15 Aug 1630 | Pre-Match Thread

[ChicagoBlue]

No pressure on City tomorrow, so we should play that way.

No-one expects too much, even as Champions, with so many players missing pre-season.

Could be one of those games determined by who still has the legs in the last 20 minutes.

We will be trying our damnedest to keep control of the game and stop the pass down the channels for the likes of Son, Moura, and Bergwijn(sp?) to run in behind.

Our game will be that second wave, with midfielders coming onto the edge of the area, or breaking through the line.

NES usually has a pretty disciplined set-up, so that’ll be interesting to see, too.

2-1 City

Got a feeling gabby is going to have a big season for us but think tomorrow will be tight. 1-1

Alty Taylor will be buzzin after scum win today , expect him to be on top form tomorrow.

Not sure we can afford to get off to a poor start this season, need a strong start to lay down a marker, the sooner we create a gap the sooner the chasing pack become demoralised and give up the chase. With them all winning comfortably today anything less than a win is a setback.

Im not expecting much tomorrow we seem too far off the pace but if we can control the game and dampen the atmosphere early hopefully we will have enough. Early chance for Grealish to show he can be a main man for us and not just a side act in the absence of kdb and foden, sterling needs to show his England form and a lot of pressure will be on mahrez to carry us until the rest of our attacking players are back and fully fit.

Would snap your hands off for a scrappy win now.

What odds on a dodgy red card for Dias?

 

[Damanino]

we lost this fixture last year so even a draw is not bad. but i prefer to win at all cost lol.

bigger rivals all had kind of expected win today, our game is harder by far, away to one of pontentially top6 team, sneaky win would go a long way here especially with our players just back and not much pre season in them. i would love a lucky undeserved win , we rarely get those, perfect match for it.

 

[waspish]

Got the feeling we going to win by at least 3 clear goals

 

[come-on-barney]

A lot of excuses going in early doors here. Not the only ones to have players missing. No excuses here, expect us to go and get the three points. Jack will be dishing out some humble pie on the post match forum should anyone be hungry.

A win would be a bonus a draw would be acceptable and a default palatable given expectations with such a short run up for most of the squad. We’ve had the hardest opening game out of everyone

Let’s put a marker down no fucking about strongest team and destroy the cunts
