Spurs (H) Pre Match Thread

KDB + 10 others for me! That should be enough. No issues with whoever else starts. Give all they’ve got again and see where it takes us.

Fed up with the unnecessary slating that both Mahrez and Delph get. Especially Delph, short memories some people, he was superb filling in at LB last season and if he’s our best (only fit) option for Saturday then so be it, get behind him.

OK
I'll be in the SS on Saturday, and I just want to say this. We - yes WE - have a a huge job to do. It is to show our love for this outstanding team.
Big ovation from the whole stadium, please. We must lift them. There is a title to be won.

I would like to rest Laporte & KDB, but I feel Laporte needs to regain confidence and KDB needs to release the anger :)

I’m sorry but Delph at LB is finished. Have you seen him play this year? Wank.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

I want us to tear them a new one.

Especially that twat Trippier. Just watched it back and he's giving it the old fingers to the lips job.

I suspect he has.

We need Leroy running at him.

 

[mosssideblue]

Fair point
But I just feel now is not the time for playing delph mahrez etc
We have no more games left to put in sub standard performances
It’s 100% all the way
I heard people say against Spurs we lost the only game we could afford to, turns out spurs did that!
If anything we could afford to rotate more for last 2/3 games, but only if we manage to get there winning

You say fair point which tells me you understand that he may be the best avail on Sat but then say you would rather play someone who is deemed not better?

At least we dont have a full week to dwell on it :)

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Time for David Silva to be introduced for final 20 minutes if we are chasing game.

Suspect Jesus will be starting. It is Easter after all.

 

[IcriedwhenTueartleft]

We need to freshen things up a bit, guys must be shattered physically after last night and we play at 12.30 on Saturday...bloody nonsense.
I'd drop Ederson, been below par for weeks now. I've never understood the love-in with him, it's like he is beyond criticism despite the fact he doesn't actually make many big saves. The first 2 goals he lost to Son over both games were poor. Give Muric a chance.
Bring in Danilo and Otamendi at the back for Laporte and Walker.
Start Fernandinho in place of Gundogan as he will be fresher.
Have Leroy starting ahead of David Silva
Might even take Jesus over Kun to start....bring Kun on if things are not going as planned.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

He did fuck all last night too. Sterling had him on toast.

I agree, though, Trippier shits himself against Leroy.

Wanyama also seemed to carrying towards the end of the game?

Spurs have zero rotational options and the early kick-off should also suit us.

 

[argyle]

What's the bet that Mahrez and Delph start?

FFS - Who did Spurs play last game, are they not physically knackered?

 

[paulchapo]

It's not an easy call. Might be easy for Pep. He might know his team now, but I don't know what is the best side. Delph has missed a lot of games but he is probably fit??? Mahrez is fresh but low on confidence. If it was a one off game it would be an easy decision but it's not it's a sandwich between CL QF and the Derby.

This is the decisive week that puts us in a position to do the Treble and make history or it is the moment when we lose the title.

I wouldn't want to play the same players again and then call on them again at Utd. That would be suicidal. Question is how many changes can we make. I think I would play Mahrez, Jesus and Sane. We have to have faith in our players and back them. It would be great if Zinchenko returned to training now but it's probably unlikely. Maybe Utd is a possibility.

I agree it is a big dilemma. The thing with Saturday is it is an early kick off and we have four full days rest before the derby. There will be some changes but every game now is a must win there is no room for error

 

[uwe rosler 28]

Ederson

Walker
Stones
Laporte
Danilo

Fern
Bernardo
Kdb

Sterling
Jesus
Sane

Lets get the win then full strength till the end of the season

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

I agree, but there must be something happening in Stones' training or personal life that has Pep feeling like he's not in the right place to start right now.

Best thing to do would be start Laporte IMO because we need to reinforce our faith in him after last night's horror show. Could be anyone starting next to him but I'd be surprised if it was Stones.

Possibly. Stones recently split up with his long-time partner and they have a little girl together?

Vinny showed last night he's still got it.

 

[Marvin]

This is as big a game for us as the CL tie.

You disagree with this journalist's comment then?
"Faced with a team as slick and quick as Spurs why did Guardiola pick Kompany, his most cumbersome defender, instead of the more mobile John Stones...Kompany noticeably immobile at this level these days, a single huge stone Easter Island head stumbling around on legs that have all the snap and spring of a pair of bamboo garden poles."

The 'journalist' should stick to fucking tiddlywinks.

He's clearly come prepared with that particular comment over his physical appearance, even if he would have been man of the match.
