Spurs (h) pre-match thread

[mosssideblue]

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

What a childish response. They are very easy to scapegoat but there have been other areas equally or even worse, but because they have "credit", they are exempt.

What? Yes, they are both quite clearly faster than Rose and Walker respectively.

And you clearly didn't watch the Spurs Chelsea game then, because the 2 pairs of wingbacks were equal, which is why they targeted Azpilicueta's height. Just because Spurs won the game doesn't mean that every Spurs player was better than their counterpart.

Edit -Oh hang on, I see. You're a Spurs fan, that makes sense.

In that case, sure pal, no one is faster than Rose and Walker, no one. They are the best fullbacks in the world.

Clearly faster than Walker and Rose? You have to be joking. Walker is lightning fast and Rose isn't far behind. Sorry pal, but I am not having it that they are both clearly faster. I've never seen Walker beaten for pace by anyone.

I did watch the Spurs Chelsea game, in fact I watched it twice. A big part of Spurs winning was the fact that Rose and Walker pegged back the chelsea wing backs. Basically we played them at their own game, but because we had better wing backs than they did, they lost much of their attacking impetus. Moses was tormented by Rose for example. Rewatch the game and see how often Rose was fouled by them.

And yes, they are two of the best fullbacks in the world. Can't think of many better leftbacks around than Rose over the past two seasons.

Spurs are not great away from home just 4 victories! Vertongen being out is a big blow for them. I expect them to sit deep and try and play on the break! Really fancy us for this game 4-1-4-1 as i expect spurs to go back to a 4-3-3

Do you really think Sane and Sterling are going to push Rose and Walker back? It's much more likely Rose and Walker will dominate them both and you'll be pinned back, with Sterling and Sane acting as defenders which would be a recipe for disaster. Rose and Walker are tailor made for the wing back role. Sane and Sterling are not wing backs. That formation will not end well.

No one has ever pinned City back. We get done on the counter - like at Everton. 4 attacks 4 goals. We had the vast majority of possession but it meant nothing in the end.

I'd be amazed if Pochettino seds Spurs out to attack, it will be sit back and counter. He'd be a fool to do otherwise. Everyone does it. Even Liverpool at home who apart from City are the most offensive club in the country. Our weaknesses are obvious. Clearly you will play to them.

Clean sheet please.

Clean sheet please.

Yes as well from me but think that might be a tough ask. We are going to need pace ourselves in this one, so i hope Sterling and Sane will play out wide. G.Jesus will offer us a different type of movement up front as well and one that for the opposition is an unknown quantity, which goes in our favour.

Hopefully Vinny get game time, not sure if he will start but we have missed his presence on the pitch so much. Spurs are going to go for this as their tails are up, we might be wise to control the game as we do, but press them fast when they have it and break at pace

I'd be surprised if they just sat back

Expecting a big response after last weeks shambles. With city you never know what to expect but im going 3-1 as spurs are not great away. Would love a ticket for this game if anyone got 1 spare.

Apart from Spurs at WHL. We outplayed you that game and even your manager said that.

Clean sheet please.

We are man city and we like dirty sheet.
