Spurs - CL 2nd Leg - Pre Match Thread

[Scottish Cityzen]

Need Vinny tonight.

I would love to see one of Vinny’s trademark towering headers from a corner early on tonight to set the tempo. Would lift the roof.

 

[ONTHERUNWITHTHAKSIN]

I think Pep will go for Bernardo ____Sergio____Sterling upfront

I hope he find place for Leroy.

If Mendy starts Sane doesn't

If Mendy starts Sane doesn't

Which makes zero sense as they've played together before and had no problems. Mendy can just stay back more and do his job defensively. He did it well on Sunday

 

[The Black Shed]

City 2-0 Spuds
I predict a red card for both teams!

 

[aguero93:20]

I love the injury news from some of the media.
"Dele Alli has a broken hand but could play with a cast".

No he couldn't, hard braces and casts aren't allowed to be worn on the field of play. He can play with it strapped, but that'll limit his ability of shove, pull, gouge and punch and therefore his overall play.

 

[St.Pauli support]

You have bad feelings every week, before and during the match. They are usually proved to be nothing more than IBS ;-)

:)
I'm still sitting in Selhurst Park waiting to witness @rnblade 's prophecy of Gundogan "easily being overrun by the Palace midfield"...

 

[01cravend]

Sterling showed in the last game that Trippier is there to be got at and in behind. Put Raz up against him again but with Mendy and the space will be there all night unless Spurs get a mid over to help Trippier(probably Sissoko) which in turn will give Dave and Kev the extra room to pick them apart.

They didnt have to do that last game as Delph is useless so they could man v man each of our mids.

Negative nellie here....

I can't see us getting three goals nor can i see Spurs not scoring.
I think we will stuggle with this. The lack of an away goal in the 1st leg is going to be difficult to overturn.

I predict 2-1 City with Spurs going through on Away goals.

*Awaits insults*

We will score at least 3. Have no doubt about that.

 

[razman]

Come on city ! Pep has bet all on these 2 games with spurs after the 1st leg.

Confident they can do it , especially after how the palace game went

 

[kaz7]

Why so damn defensive?

It would be a failure to lose to spurs and fail in the CL yet again. No way of getting around it. Saying they work hard? This isn't a kids team here this is a team stacked with talent and being talked about as a goat PL team.. You can't be thought of like that and lose to spurs.. You just can't. Be no excuse for it

The owners want CL glory... To lose again would be devastating

Behave,i do think it would be bad to go out to an english team we ususally beat in the prem,if it's lost it will be because of the last game,the lads will give everything tonite

Cant see Sane starting Karen. With a fully fit squad, minus Oleks, I don't see how he gets in the team. Raz is a shoe in alongside Bernardo on the flanks imo. Kev, Spanish Dave and Dinho central.

With Sergio up top that is our strongest front 6 for me. If we bring Leroy in one of Bernado/Kev/Dave is getting dropped and I just don't see it.

Come on you Blues!!!

David Silva doesn't get in our best XI on current form tbf.

I agree entirely with that but I don't think Pep will do it.
I think the argument will be between Dave and Sane because for Leroy to start then one of Bernado or Raz gets binned. I don't think he is better than those 2 as it stands.

You could drop Silva but who comes in? Does Bernardo go central and leroy wide?

As much as i adore dave i would rather have raz and sane,we really need to attack down the wings,it's a strong point of ours and we should use it imo

But silky Ilkay does.
