Spurs (H) Pre Match Thread

I like the look of that but can see Mahrez starting.

They will be shattered after that as our lads will be. I think fresh legs could win the day.

De Bruyne has to start though.

We have to be careful but really we have to win this game, and if we get into a winning position we can use the subs.

We can't run the players into the ground given there's the Derby coming up, but we have to win this game.

--------------Ederson
Danilo---Stones---Laporte---Mendy
-----------Fernandinho
-----KDB----Foden-----Silva
----Mahrez-----Jesus-----Sane

Mendy might not make it anyway because of his knee. Ideally Zinchenko recovers but there is not much time.

Stongest team which means no Mahrez.

Id rest David Silva and play Lerow and put Bernardo more central.

Ferna to start instead of Ilky

Other than that same team as tonight though I suspect pep will rotate maybe fullbacks and centre halves somewhere

Mahrez is 2nd choice but he's 100% fit. Bernardo, Sterling etc cannot play every game. I would start Mahrez.

We need to give our players confidence.

Being able to play fresh quality players is where we have an advantage over Spurs. They don't have the squad that we have. I know why you are not a fan of Mahrez but he can be effective.

The only thing i know is that we could score 5 to this spurs team. So, give them what they deserve. This is a season defining game, with dippers having easy games and momentum in the right moment. Win the league and we'll forget what happened.

Cardiff away is one you would expect them to win, but you never know. What happens if Cardiff score first and they know we won.

I know it wasn't there fault exactly but lets please just smash them all over on Saturday to make a point to UEFA.

while I agree with you there are only 5 games left (plus the cup final).....as Pep said last year...players can rest when they retire.......Danilo over walker could be one change without weakening us too much......Left back is a major issue as if we play Delph their to rest Mendy it does weaken us.

Ferna can start as he has not been playing recently. Sergio can start as he needs game fitness (Pep said this pre spurs game)

Silva and Bernardo look like they can run all day long to be honest and Sane hasn't been starting much so he should def play.

Mahres was shit against spurs in the first leg and at present I wouldn't let him anywhere near the team .....

I wouldn't play Ottomendi against Son or Llorente and Im not sure imply stones against Llorente either...but it might be worth the risk but then again Kompany has only played the last two games so maybe no need to.

Please god no mahrez. Plus you’ve got 12 players.

I fancy us to stick 5 or 6 past them over the weekend. Spurs aren't that special, they just took advantage of a couple of mistakes and a missed penalty thats all. This is as far as they will get because this young Ajax side will tear them apart home and away.

 

[prestonibbo_mcfc]

After seeing tonight's game, am so looking forward to this. Can't see us making the same mistakes and can only see us
playing as well.

Oh fuckin ell. Give it a rest! We want Liverpool to drop as many points as possible starting with against Cardiff. This whole idea that if we come out roaring we'll come out on top should have been put firmly to rest tonight. I heard all this after the Spurs away game. "We dont need an away goal we'll smash spurs for five at our place." Bollocks to Liverpool. Anyone supporting City should be hoping Liverpool don't pick up a single point between now and the rest of the season.

Seriously?
Do you honestly think Liverpool are going to drop points to the likes of Cardiff and Huddersfield?

I'm sick of hoping they'll drop points here or there and feeling pissed off when they don't.
Fuck them!
I want them playing full tilt from now until the rest of the season winning their remaining games and falling short to us.

Finishing this season empty handed after the effort they've put in and the emotional investment will psychologically cripple them.
It will spell the end of any future title challenges.
They will understand the premier league title just isn't for them.

Liverpool are a club that were once a dominant force in Europe. If they fuck this up (again) they'll be haunted by their past for ever.

Does Laporte play Saturday?

With one poor game among 50 belters?

Course Laporte fcukin plays.

To drop him would not only be unjustified but piss poor man management too.
