Pep has a habit of over thinking these big champions league games. Did it at Munich as well and pretty much admits to it in his book. So fingers crossed he has learnt his lesson and leaves Delph on the bench and plays the strongest team we have.

Big week ahead Spuds could put us out of the running of the two biggest competitions.
 
I'm missing this one, due to work. Just hope we can get it done. At least I won't be a nervous wreck,
every time they cross the halfway line.

He doesn’t need to overthink it,just treat it as a league match against a team who happen to be in the same league as us...
 
What a week coming up. Spurs on Wednesday and Spurs on Saturday. Only to wins otherwise PL gone and CL gone within 3 days. Pressure is on.

Pep needs to think carefully and not put up a starting line up where he has to correct his own mistakes soon after. Can see Tottenham going with 3 defenders like they started Liverpool away.

They will play on the break if they are clever they start both Son and Moura. Their pace can really cause problems for us.

Not sure they can fit both Eriksen, Alli in the line up I think they need two defensive guys in midifled like they had both Sissoko-Winks last game. Against Pool it was just Sissoko-Eriksen but they had 3 man defence.Now with Kane out mayybe they will go with a more mobile and quicker Moura-Alli-Son trio and Sissoko-Winks-Eriksen trio in middle. Especially as Walker/Mendy likes to join the midfield inside when have the ball. They need to avoid us being in 3 v 2 or 4 vs 3 in small spaces in the middle building up attacks.

Having Bernardo for this is great as he can come deep and be a natural there just as going out wide, when he comes inside Walker or KDB should push a bit outside and turn their players around a bit.

We just need not to miss big chances Kun form is a bit shit he hardly had any shot today. We just cant let our head drop even if they find a goal. Something happens with our players in CL games, agreed with Gundogan when he said we are a bit more excited in a wrong way. If we start with a big boo for the CL song thats imo will have a bad effect.
Alli and Winks might be missing
 
Can’t believe the confidence here.

Kane is out yes, but Spurs rested Son, Trippier, Rose and Alderweireld this weekend.

Lucas Moura scored a hat trick and will be full of belief.

If they score first it’s pretty much mission impossible like last year.

Another really tough game, we need to be at our best. I’m hoping De Bruyne makes the difference and Pep goes with Sane and Sterling on the wings.
