Spurs - CL 2nd Leg - Pre Match Thread

[OntarioBlue]

Ederson

Walker
Stones
Laporte
Mendy

Dinho
Bernardo
De Bruyne

Sterling
Aguero
Sané

That has to be the starting lineup. I am concerned about Sergio’s fitness so if he’s not 100% go with Gabby.
3-0

 

[hutton who blue]

Jesus looked cracking when he came on for Aguero and got a goal against Crystal Palace. Then again Aguero is Aguero. Tough choices for the manager when you're riding high!

 

[ChicagoBlue]

3-1 aet

So, we score 2 in ET?

You should put a few quid on a specific score like that!

 

[ChicagoBlue]

Ederson

Walker
Stones
Laporte
Mendy

Dinho
Bernardo
De Bruyne

Sterling
Aguero
Sané

Picks itself when everyone is fit and raring to go.

Biggest night of the season so far. No hostages. Go for the throat from the off!

We'll have the chaz and daves for toast

 

[burning blue soul]

I’d happily rest the entire first team for this one and crash out of Europe if it would guarantee us 6 points in the next two league games

I think the players will be so ramped up for these next 9 games. I feel that, as a player, these are the moments that make all the training and effort put in and hurdles over come worthwhile.
9 big games, 9 big performances and the prize is legend status!!
What's not to like?

We need Aguerro fit and in good form. That's my main worry.

Agree with this...Aguero the main worry. He looked out of sorts against Palace. Maybe carrying a slight knock. I think I would start with Jesus as his energy and work rate will be required. He looked very lively against Palace.

 

[blue b4 the moon]

Hope no ET.. We can do without it at this stage.

The only plus on ET is our squad is better/deeper and they'll have to play the extra 30 mins as well but yeah I'd fully agree 90 mins & get the job done.

Jesus can sometimes be a better option in away games because he's very good outside the penalty area (although Aguero has improved in the last couple of seasons). But Aguero is much the better player inside the penalty area. He's miles better at finding space and he's the better finisher. For this type of game it has to be Aguero. Play Aguero in the two home games, possibly Jesus at OT or Burnley.

Burnley perhaps but the rags are shit scared of Kun, he has to start there.

So long as we win our last five league matches I don't really give a toss about the Brexit tournament. I reckon we win 3-2 but go out. That will give us breathing space whilst the Dippers are tied up by Messi and co.

'Course we will, 'coz we don't care about them...

 

[SWP's back]

Spurs have the advantage. One Spurs goal and it will be extremely difficult. We need to win the Champions League more than the Premier League, although many on here think otherwise for whatever reason. Lets go for it from the start and get the atmosphere ramped up.

We think otherwise as it’s not true.

 

[thelongbowman]

smash 'em, City.

Massive crowd noise, massive team performance.

These cockneys tossers are gonna hate Manchester by 2.30pm on Saturday.

3-0. 3-0.

Boom.

 

[markbmcfc]

Would change a few for this.

Ederson, Danilo, Stones, Laporte, Mendy, Dinho, KDb, Bernardo, Sterling, Sane, Aguero.

Walker was brilliant yesterday so swapping purely for rotation given the importance of Saturday.

50/50 on Aguero or Jesus.

Brightened up my shite Monday morning that did

If we are knocked out of the CL I reckon the blow to our confidence would greatly increase the chances of dropping points in the following two games.

Nah.. these boys aren’t confidence players. If we go out we’ll not drop another point all season

 

[JPBB]

Where did I say you were shit ? So why get your knickers in a twist.
This games all ifs and buts, until it kicks off. Your money's on your team, mine's on mine.
I also said, devoid of any ideas of how to attack us. Slight difference to what you said.
If that's your best attacking display, we have nothing to worry about.

Firstly my money if I was a betting man would be on you.

Secondly I don’t think that was our best attacking display. That was a plan to stay in the tie, not concede, score and go to your place with an advantage. I’d say executed well.

Thirdly I think you are wrong if you think you have nothing to worry about. A Spurs goal would put you under some pressure. And then even if you do score three. You are still one Dele Alli dive away from going out.

 

[Indaparkside]

We will smash them 3 or 4 very very confident
