Spurs (h) pre-match thread

[willipp]

Be honest, what's there to be positive about at the moment?

I'm ready to move on from the old guard & eager to see the likes of Sane, Gabriel be given their chances instead of persisting with Silva/Kun.

Plenty to be positive about for me. I watched the under 18's against Liverpool tonight and they were a joy to watch and it's only a matter of time till the likes of sancho and Diaz come through. Sane, Jesus, kelechi, Sterling all quality. KDB is one of the best there is and we have pep, how is that not a good thing? Yes we have been poor and some players need moving on and we probably need 7 or 8 new players. That alone means exciting times, this summer will see a complete overhaul I think.

I get people are pissed off, but times like now we need to show our support. Good win against Spurs and then potentially put a few wins together and things change very quickly.

I think this summer will be our most exciting yet to compensate somewhat for last summer which probably won't go down as one our better ones.

A lot of players coming out of contract or near the end of contracts that will not be renewed which hasn't been the case to that degree in the past.

Hopefully Jesus and Kompany will be in the squad to give everyone a boost.

I'd love them both to start but it may be asking too much

not knocking Bravo but if those two and willy take to the field the whole ground will be right up for it. Spurs are twats and will be well cocky so let bring them right down to earth with a Barca display.

Bill you quite clearly are knocking Bravo, we all know you've hated him since 4 minutes into his debut, so just stop with the pretence.

The idea that Kompany and Jesus being on the pitch would get absolutely no response from the crowd if Bravo was in goal is laughable even from you.

 

[ox-blue]

I think G.Jesus should start from of the bench big burden to through him at the start against Spurs

Don't know what happened there. Sorry about that. I see the bossman bailed me out though.

willy would lift them mate, as will vinny and jesus. I don't hate bravo he's just no good. if kolorov lines up that would dip the mood too. we simply cannot accommodate players so clearly out of form taking to the field v spurs, they'll murder us.

I think it's the type of game where he might be better off starting, difficult game to come into.

Also depends on match fitness, though Pep said he hadn't had much time off so is still in good shape which is good news.

Bill you do hate Bravo, you've been complaining about him since before you'd ever seen him set foot on the pitch.

It's fine, you hate him, we all know that, but why bother pretending you don't?

 

[Tricky_Trev]

Which attacker will no longer make the bench? I think Nolito's days are numbered to be honest. Seems hugely out of favour and I hope he doesn't leave Iheanacho or Sané in the stands. Navas can go there though! Realistically there's only room for 3 of Jesus, Kelechi, Sané, Nolito and Navas on the bench (or Sterling/Silva/De Bruyne if he rotates it)

what is there to hate about him? do you know something we don't?
I don't hate any city player, for instance kolorov gets me mad as does clichy but I don't hate them. rather we had other players than them but I know they are trying their best so to hate them would be wrong. Bravo I'm sure is trying his best but at this time willy is the better option, I know that's hard for you but he is. btw that's not just me saying it, I get why you pick my posts out but it really isn't just me. the whole of football know we've dropped one and our true haters love it. I want to win games, I want the best 11 to take to the field. what the fuck is wrong with that.? try it sometime.

Navas would be the obvious choice, as he is out of contract in the summer and almost certain to leave. Seems more in favour than Nolito though, strangely.

 

[andyhinch]

I hope G. Jesus gets some game time, got a feeling it'll be nice in later life to say I was there on his debut

 

[Bill]

I love Nolito. what ever has gone on, him being missing is a minus for us.

Still needs to be another one on the bench mate. Either Nolito, Sané or Iheanacho, providing he wants a balanced bench that covers all the pitch. Personally I'd leave Navas and Nolito in the stands, but Pep may see it differently.
