Spurs (A) - Sun 5th Feb, 16:30 | Pre-Match Thread

Fair play. I'm always too nervous before the game. And there's always someone knocking on the door at the Etihad toilets.

Someones ringing the bell lol!

Are you really asking that? It’s obviously back 4 (with Lewis dropping into mid when we have the ball) Rodders as holder, then Bernie and Alvarez (just behind Haaland) centre, Jack and Mahrez wide and Haaland up top

Well, I think it's pretty obvious Alvarez is not going to play DM.

But if the formation is as obvious as you say (effectively so obvious that only an idiot would think otherwise) why on earth did the BBC set it out in the ridiculous way it has?

We blues are confused with the lineup, spurs will be too. I just hope our players aren't confused by it.

I like this 11

Think it will be same formation as last match vs spurs. Getting the pre match nerves now.

Its time for a wank now.

What a Wanker!

Pep said Phil is unwell and went back to Manchester.

Can you repeat that?

On paper I don't mind that starting 11. It's either going to be brilliant or dogshit though. We will know within about the first 10 mins which way it will go. Hopefully we will blow these away. Come on boys!
