Spurs (h) pre-match thread

No

Got to bet that Nacho is pissed off at the moment.

t sure why

Could that line up be 3 at the back?

Zaba pushed into midfield. Sane and Sterling acting as wingbacks?

Probably not. Just saying like!

Not sure as I doubt we'd be willing to have Kolarov as our main centre back with Ota and Clichy either side.

Given that Yaya alone holding the fort in midfield seems slightly odd, I wonder if we're about to see a return to inverted fullbacks with Yaya dropping back.

It surely makes sense to loan Iheanacho out to a Premier League club next season. He won't develop here with Jesus and Aguero around. Loan him and then decide whether to sell or keep the season after, depending on how he develops.

Powerful attacking line up. Defensively there isn't an available configuration that would give me total confidence.

Oh god Harry Rednapp's pearls of wisdom on BT Sport to add insult to injury

He doesn't fancy Nacho. He's not been great lately but to be fair I think Pep has taken his confidence away. Surprising really given his scoring record and the level of some of the senior players playing ahead of him.

I agree, although at this stage his development is still on a good trajectory. He's had a decent amount of minutes/responsibility, scored some good goals and important goals, been managed by Guardiola and learnt from Aguero. But I agree, next season should be looking to be the main man somewhere.

3-0 up at 70 minutes with Kompany to come on in midfield for a run out.

 

[SWP's back]

We've got some pace up top though kids.

That's good yeah?

I reckon that's most likely. Could be three at the back though - worked well for 60 mins against Chelsea, and Spurs are playing with a similar shape at the moment, so wouldn't be surprising if he went that way again. Not sure it would work with Zaba and Toure, though.
