Just play with 10 men?

Seriously how would you line us up without Stones, Kompany and Mangala playing?

We cannot put Fernandino in there - he's too important as a defensive midfield player imo.

Well I'm hoping Kompany makes it but otherwise I like Walker as a centre half for this one.
 
Just beat this lot no matter how. I don't know what is it, but I cannot stand them. Self-righteous, white shirts, 'arry Redknapp and his stupid jokes about (usually) foreign players...
 
Really interesting game coming up.

They've suddenly hit form and will fancy their chances having beaten us and drawn with us last year. They ended our winning run and Chelsea's winning streak last season. So they won't be afraid or intimidated.

They press from the front so I would think they'll try and pressure Mangala and Fernandinho. I think we might also see a premier league team coming to the Etihad to play rather than defend for the first time since Liverpool. We have a bit of bad blood with them over Pep's Harry Kane team comments and Pochettino's reaction. Then there's the fact that it's Walker's first game against Spurs.

Potentially one of the biggest games of the season.

I’d be starting Jesus. He’s rested and will be more energetic.

Usually me too but Aguero is reaching form again. His last goal was class and he loves playing against Spurs. Jesus played against rags, let’s see Kun vs spurs.
 
Ederson
Walker
Otamendi
Mangala
Delphinho
Fern
KDB
D. Silva
Sane
Aguero
Sterling

Going for 4-2 with a big performance from Walker, a brace for Aguero and a wondergoal from Sane
 
Have to say I'm looking forward to Spurs funny chant. It goes...

Let's Pretend,
Let's Pretend,
Let's Pretend we scored a goal,
Let's Pretend we scored a goal.
<BEDLAM>

Can't stand them though this is amusing. It would have been perfect for us during the Pearce era...

It’s because Jesus played last weekend that Aguero played midweek.

That’s also why I think you’ll be disappointed.
 
Good to hear Kompany might make it tomorrow and Stones only a week away.

Get Spurs out of the way and we are good to go.

Didn’t Pep say exactly the same about Vinny’s chances of playing last Friday??

And of course he did play. Expecting the same

He didn’t suggest he’d be fit for tomorrow. He said he should hopefully be fit for the coming games didn’t he?
 
We owe the Cockney rags big time and I hope we batter them tomorrow. Their fans are a very close second to the Rags, despise them.

Will be a tough game tomorrow as they seem to have hit a bit of form. Keep Kane quiet and we are half way there.

Their defence without Alderweireld is a lot weaker and we should be targeting Dier.

Play Serge, Sane and Sterling and they will cause havoc.

He said “I don’t know if he’ll be right tommorow” which isn’t ruling him out

You have to read it all in context. It is just his terminology. "I don't know if he'll be right tomorrow" means he won't be right for tomorrow. The report on the City website says he is nearing a return to training and admits he will not be ready for tomorrow.
