Spurs (A) - Wed 26th Feb, 19:30 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

Think with the past history there Son 2-Daughters 0. Id like to be wrong.

Not the player he was. Furthermore, it was Son-Kane combination that was deadly, each giving assists to the other. The team just might surprise everybody, by doing another Newcastle performance.
Don't know where Rúben and Johnny are, injury wise. Sick of them being out. They are easily our best central defence, playing together.

Speculation about Claudio.

It's not really speculation is it.....he's now here, and available, nothing else. Probably less chance of him playing than Reiss.
It's basically just stating the obvious.

Do you mean that they are speculating that he could play, but not really speculating, more sort of considering it?

Madrid started badly and ended well in the CL group and they’re top in Spain.

Crikey didn't realise that. Big drift from last season going there to keep the PL title alive.

Ederson could be handed a start against Plymouth, Lewis could be handed a start against Plymouth, Gvardiol could be handed a start against Plymouth, Dias could be handed a start against Plymouth.......need any more examples??
Stating the obvious ;) obviously no news to report.

I'm a bit more optimistic than most here. We actually played OK against Spurs at home despite losing 4-0 and I think Pep will be more aware of their threats and how to deal with them.

 

[ScottSinclair]

Ideal team I'd like to see if Haaland is fit is Haaland in for De Bruyne and Kovacic in for Lewis. I'd also give Gvardiol a rest here.

____________Ederson
___Khusanov__Dias__Ake
_________Nico___Kovacic
Savinho_Foden_Marmoush_Doku
____________Erling

Echeverri, or Ranieri? :-)

Could've/should've been 2.0 up after 10 minutes.

Fine margins all season.

This is defo not the game to be resting Gvardiol or anyone else who is first choice. Saturday is the day for that.

 

[noseve]

That's a big statement .…. And tbh,I've not seen enough of City with Nunes in the team to argue against it,.
But that's a big statement Simon.

You don't need to watch much - just the highlights, because his involvement is often followed immediately by a goal...

 

[ScottSinclair]

This is defo not the game to be resting Gvardiol or anyone else who is first choice. Saturday is the day for that.

You could have him in for Dias and have Gvardiol push up infront of Kova and Nico behind Omar and Haaland but Tottenhams pace is a bit worrying with only two out and out defenders. Point is under no circumstances should any of Lewis, KdB, Bernardo or Gundogan start this game and we need to give Nico more help centrally than we did saturday or at the Bernabeu

 

[69FACUPfinal]

One of these days, hopefully not too far in future I will vote win. Unfortunately not on this one, we are a better team than Spuds but they tend to have the hoodoo over us.

I suspect personally that Erling is out for longer than being made public. We are toothless without him.

And wtf is Oscar Bobb taking sooooo long to get back in??

I'd play McAtee in some role tmw, he can make a difference.

 

[schfc6]

Why no Doku? He was one of our best players against the Dippers.

Nothing related to his performance, just he rarely if ever plays two games in a week.

 

[theres only one carlito]

With Tottenhams ridiculously high line we need pace up top. By pass midfielders again and get marmoush Savi doku into the space. Eddie could get another assist here. 2 change from dippers for me Kdb out silva in Lewis out nunes at right back (for width ala against Chelsea). Gvardiol
And nunes caused Chelsea massive problems with their high line.

 

[King Jay]

Can see pep playing with the slowest players we have again against the high line of spurs since he is overthinking again.

Foden - KDB - Grealish
Marmoush.
Wouldn’t surprise me at all.
