Spurs (h) pre-match thread

[Aussie!]

We are still more than good enough to win without Silva, as good as he is we are not a one man team.

Sure it will be tougher but i'm expecting KDB & Gundo to step up today.

We are not the Harry Kane team, as one would say.

 

[SWP's back]

Pretty much the best/most reliable City journalist going.

I really like him. Comes over well on Billy’s Pod.

SIlva out.... replaced with a very limited Gundogan....if the rest aren't at 100%, or Spuds are, winning run stops here... rather have Jesus and go for it.

Gundogan is far from limited. He hasn’t been quite up to speed since coming back but he has proved he is a very good player.

Whatever the reason for David Silva's absence I'm confident that the team will step up in response. Test of the spirit and grit we've shown this season, win it for Merlin lads.
Come on City.

 

[Toney’s bookie]

Surprised he didn't play Bernardo. I thought he was excellent midweek and you'd assume he was the long term successor to Spanish Dave

Ffs.

How did a far better Napoli get on?

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Yes, yes; Merlin is out. But we are not a one-man team, and whoever plays will put in a shift. If it is good enough on the day then we take all three points.

I’ve always had the impression that’s he’s a secret shag master.

He does have the manner of an accomplished covert driller

Against a lesser team I reckon Bernardo gets the nod, but it's easy to pick the more defensive option against a good side who will actually attack us like Spurs

Pep just said regarding David. Not injured. Personal matter.
