Spurs (h) pre-match thread

Which bit? Close to 50m? England's most promising defender? Our second choice left back? his abysmal performances?

Them both being our weak link

If we are picking a side based on eliminating the poor performers we would struggle with a 5 a side team. I would like maffeo and Garcia in the team but unfortunately one was deemed not good enough to be given a chance over our quality right backs and Garcia is behind Fernando,zab,toure,delph, old Tom Cobbly such is his standing. Fingers crossed we have a good day and the players show at least a modicum of heart. Anyhow my team

Bravo(make yourself big,keep your legs together,stand tall and get down quick all in one go)

Stones. Kompany
Sagna. Fernando Kolorov
Sterling. Garcia. Silva. Sane
Aguero

Possibly WUM going on here but if not then I would love half of whatever you're on.....

Hes an absolute liability, fantastic at that little faint he does before he passes the ball but apart from that hes garbage, he cant make a save that's not bread and butter. Of the keepers ive seen at City inc, Hart, Willy, Given, James, Weaver, Seaman ect Bravo is bar far the worst.

Does anyone base any of the opinion on Bravo on his games for Barcelona or Chile?

When he was winning loads of stuff and regarded as one of the best in the world. As opposed to a 4 month spell at at a new club with no pre-season and an either ageing or completely inexperienced defence in front of him playing an entirely new system.

3 at the back would be suicidal. that team has almost no defensive cover against spurs - one of the best attacking teams.

Nope it'll put them on the back foot and with Alderweild out it's the right time to do it.

Nahh it will push there fullbacks back if we keep at it pressuring them but we would need to take our chances

Exactly.

Agreed. 352 would be my choice as well. It's not like our full backs are remotely decent this season anyway.

Very true, I'd rather not see any of them again tbh.

Whens daft twat Fernandinho back? My guess is not in time for this game ffs.

Wrong thread, but he was on a hiding to nothing before he even trained with us because of who he replaced. Their bias was established well before his debut.

Have you not watched city at all this season? I'm wasting my time, forget it.

----------------Bravo
Sagna--Kompany--Oramendi--Kolarov
---------KDB----Silva
Sane-Sterling--Aguero--jesus

With fullbacks pushed up. I know it's very attacking but I'd still do it. As long as we score more than the opposition it doesn't matter and that front 6 is as good as any team in world football

If we can't defend, lets at least play to our strengths rather than see our attacking compromised by trying to shore the defence up

The only change I would make to that is to put navas at right back. Then of the 11 players on the pitch 9 of them would be primarily attack minded. Or we could play a keeper. Hmmm decisions....
