Spurs (H) Pre Match Thread

[thelongbowman]

looks like another high scoring game with Spuds line up. They cant defend so all out attack>??????????????

 

[Gabriel]

Mendy and Kompany drop straight out, and no place on the bench for Danilo either. For all the surrounding contract hype, Gundogan starts and Sane again does not, which makes me think it is more horses for courses.

 

[SebastianBlue]

A bit of trivia for the pre-match hysteria:

Name the last match we had four Englishmen in the starting eleven.

 

[Stoned Rose]

Decent line up. Thought Sane would have made the team though.

Think Foden has finally done it, trusted to start vs the 3rd best team in England. Probably a regular next season.

Will be transitioned into Dave's role next season.

 

[Mancini Manus Domini]

Zinchenko will tuck in.

They have a lot of defensive players playing.

 

[remember arthur mann]

Nice to see the Zinch back, will make a big difference, sadly he works better with Sane !!

 

[ninjamonkey]

This is nothing against foden but that’s a huge slap in the face for sane when he’s starting ahead of him. Different positions I know but Bernardo could easily go central where he’s better anyway and sterling right sane left.

The lack of Fernandinho always has me worried even if we were playing a league 1 side.

overall not a bad side at all but does seem a bit understrengthed when this is a must win but looking at their side that should be more than enough to win and that’s all that matters.

What’s danilo got to do to get on the bench, nevermind start?

 

[B\connellblue]

Fern should play unless hes close to a ban . Fail here and theres no coming back.

 

[thelongbowman]

I's not clearly down to him,lets not turn on the kid,personally i think pep is mad

not turned on him but Pep knows best, and if Sana is not included then it can only be down to attitude because we know his skill is there.

 

[citizenyank76]

Sane go bye bye soon.

 

[kaz7]

Pep says dinho on the bench is tactical,leaving out your best DM can't be right

 

[come-on-barney]

Obviously would prefer Dinho in, the rest is belting, Sane or his representatives must be pissing Pep off.

Can’t be contrast issues else Gundogan wouldn’t be playing. Gundo instead of Ferns a big no. A bery very big call from Pep today.

 

[yerwot?]

Fern not at his peak, sane still erratic, should stroll through this with that line up 5-0

 

[SWP's back]

What is going on with Pep and Sane?, has to be the contract situation. Great to see Phil starting but Gundogan instead of Fernandinho, no no no.

You’ve just contradicted yourself.

It’s obviously NOT the contract situation given the fact Gundogan is starting.

 

[come-on-barney]

What has Danilo done to upset Pep? This would have been the ideal opportunity to rest Walker for the Derby game. Likewise Jesus for Aguero.

According to the papers speaking with Milan about a contract.

 

[Stoned Rose]

This Sane thing a lot of you are droning on about.....

What better than bringing him on at 65 mins when they're absolutely fucked?

People are creating an issue that isn't there imo.

 

[SWP's back]

What the fuck is he saving dinho for? wide open in the middle again

We weren’t wide open in the middle on Wednesday. We just kept passing it to them from CB.

 

[@BluePhil8]

9-0 City Foden hatrick.

 

[Citizen in Pakistan]

Sane's last season here for sure, this must be truly heart breaking for him. I think foden can cope but its a big risk that has been taken at such a crucial stage.
