Spurs - CL 2nd Leg - Pre Match Thread

[DenisLawBackHeel74]

One good thing is that if we win 1-0 and have to go to extra time, our potentially tired legs won't benefit our weekend opponents. They will be equally tired on this occasion.

That’s a good point and certainly advocates playing a very high tempo game.

It be Ali behind with son one side with Moura the other

Been watching the ticket sales for this today.
Blocks selling steadily and then, all of a sudden a group of tickets appear in a block that’s not been available all day.

Just now block 326 has popped up with a whole row of seats available in the middle of the block.

Late returns from a ‘partner’?

That's where they usually put the press, i normally sit there instead of going slightly further back to my normal seats as i can see the monitors and it's easier getting away at the end.

 

[FCBarca]

Come on City!

 

[Proy]

I think we are going to have to score 3 goals tonight.

Of which we will do.

 

[KDBtojesus]

Flop? If we go out tonight we are not “flops”. This team works so fucking hard, for me they are heroes, never flops

Course they work hard but we should be at least competing to win this comp when we are the favourites. To get knocked out by spurs would make us look bad in the public eye. Not a team we should lose to

 

[Blue Maverick]

I think tonight you are going to see one of the best City performances ever, we need 3 goals, we will score 3 goals possibly more, we are going to blow these guys away. From now until the end of the season we are going to go,for everyone’s throat from the off. The next 3 games we start our best 11 if available, win those then change it slightly to,rest certain players against Burnley then back on it against Ajax. I’m not bothered about CL I only want to win it to shut the rest of the world up.

 

[Blue Hefner]

Big teams deliver at times like this and I expect us to do to them what I would expect Barcelona to do to them i.e be 2 or 3 nil up by half time with our little Argie banging a couple in to see us through

I woke up excited about the game tonight and for the first time I have considered the real possibility that we could win the lot

 

[If I die in the Kippax St]

Okay no more nonsense regarding ticket sales the game is sold out as are all the remaining games. Sky can now concentrate on telling the world what fabulous supporters we are following the best team in the land and all world. Lets rip the roof off and roar the lads to victory. CTID

 

[Bazzmand Show]

Come on City!! This is a season defining game in my opinion. If we win this, I can see us winning the title and making the CL final.

Must win!

 

[Djibrilshairdo]

Think Spuds will score but we’ll still get the job done and a massive chance to win the Cl opens up.

Win it, shit in the pot and sent it back to Switzerland in a bin bag via Hermes.

 

[hihosilva]

I expect Spurs to try to hit us on the break to try & get that crutial goal. Hopefully we'll have our scoring boots on tonight. 3-1

 

[Zin 'messiah' Zimmer]

I’m expecting us to fly out of the blocks, much like the dippers last year, only this time I feel Lady Luck/dog shit refereeing won’t go against us...

4-1, Kev master class

It definitely feels like Kev is gearing up to murder someone. Might be Spurs, might be United next week.

You just can feel it when you read his article this week, his performance on the weekend, how quickly he's come back to form compared to last time. He wants to make up for lost time this season.

Lady Luck and rotten/corrupt refereeing will be against us, it always is, but we are good enough to overcome that. City 3 Spurs 1 (I very rarely give predictions but I have a strong feeling about this one).

Completely agree.BM going by the last few games.i think Pep has done his homework(about future games)get in front & keep the ball save energy.
Like you stated i also think it be one of the best performances from a City team ever..

Ederson
Walker Stones Laporte Mendy

[FCBarca]

I'm really anxious to see City put on a gala performance. Either due to all the matches, rotations, injuries or merely fatigue the team has not consistently given the impression they are approaching their full potential yet. Ideally, City should be punishing Spurs

A few eye of the needle passes surfaced at the weekend, one notably at pace to meg one of the palace players. When his spider senses are on, magic happens...

Kind of agree, however last year was a disgrace, any level of that this evening and Uefa won’t be getting my money next year!

It’s certainly being overlooked in terms of doing this in style.... a clear message tonight will give us the desired momentum to do the unprecedented!
