Spurs (h) pre-match thread

[citymad]

More I think about it the more I just can't see a how we're going to get a result. Our playing system these days seems to be based on floating around different positions playing possession football in non threatening areas with no end product. They will give us a torrid time down the wings and the central midfield battle with Yaya and fernando doesn't bear thinking about. Its unfortunate were facing this Spurs side after such a bad performance on Sunday.

 

[citymad]

Bravo

Sagna
Vinny
Otto
Kolarov

Yaya (in front of back four)
Garcia

Sane
KDB
Jesus

Kun

Never gonna happen but I'd love to see us do it.

That team will get murdered and even Pep can only do so much when he's got this to work with.

When you have the squad the we have who are front runners and flat track bullies to a large degree the results will be all the over the shot as the last two games demonstrate.

We just have to find a way for them not to score.

Clean sheets are the name of the game in the premiership.

No need to be so rude - it was an innocent question

That's what she said ;)

I hope Pep has spent a lot of time watching videos of Spurs' last few games and sets us up to combat them and get a result.

I'm not looking forward to the start of the game seeing on ESPN that the rags have been gifted another win and are a point in front of us.

I can only see one tactical solution for Saturday, get to spoons early and drink as much as possible to ease the pain.

 

[mosssideblue]

not hopeful based on our recent form. I think the fans should be chanting Joe Harts name to try and get the point across to Pep

Match day fans get behind the team, but I understand that might be an alien concept for keyboard fans. Ffs

 

[mosssideblue]

calm down petal!!

I would say the majority can see that Hart is a vast improvement on what we have at the moment.. he offers someone who can stop the ball going in the net, commands the area and inspires.

The man is blue through and through and we are severely lacking in those types of players

Im not turning on our manager, i am all for Pep to stay and work on his team but he needs to realise a mistake when he makes one. THIS IS MY OPINION I AM GIVING .... which a lot of blues i have spoken to agree with.

Now please kindly think before you insult someone for no reason..... and im the kid....

You deserve the flak your stupid post will get.

JH isn't going to play for us again, so we need to get looking elsewhere.
I'll take a 0-0 now!

I seem to use the word tempo in every pre-match thread and it's needed more than ever on Saturday.

We need to move the ball fast, use 2 wide players and run at them.

Sadly I agree. Problem being we will all be shocked if 6 of those names are here next season, that's the problem. If vinny fit get him in. Rose and walker need managed if want a result

 

[Blue Smarties]

Going to get turned over. Thought the same vs Arsenal. That means we're going to win.

Does anyone know if we left Bravo in Merseyside? Suppose we couldn't considering he didn't turn up to be left behind.

I tend to agree. After that second half showing I'm expecting improvement across the park.

 

[Tricky_Trev]

Think the club should run a competition where the prize is to play left back at the weekend. It already looks like we're doing that, so what difference would it make?

I'd take a 2-0 Spurs win now! ;0)

Haha

 

[feedmpenzaandhewillscore]

Can see Kolorov being in for this some, someone's got to be dropped out of that back four after last weekend. It doesn't bode well when he's the only option to come in for either Stones,Clichy and Otamendi.

Be just like typical city to smash Spurs, they might rock up smelling blood and try to attack us which would suit us down to the ground.

 

[citytilllidie]

We won't be able to cope with their decent defence, marauding full backs, enterprising, imaginative and hard working midfield, and clinical forwards. Expect much the same as last week. 0-4 Spurs.
