Spurs (h) pre-match thread

I think Kev is due to really fire up for this game, and lead the spuds a merry dance. Come on you blue boys!

He's offsides so often he's the first player ever to have a flag deal instead of a shoe deal.
But I kid.

Jesus offsides - 38 in 69 games
Aguero offside - 188 in 240 games

Jesus - 0.55 offsides per game
Aguero - 0.78 offsides per game

Pointless stat.

He’s often so far offside when we break that it disrupts the flow of the attack as the player carrying the ball knows he can’t play him in. Consequently he doesn’t get flagged for it.

 

[George Hannah]

Mouth breather though.

Hard not to be when he 's got his bridle on most of the time.

Ederson

Cancelo
Stones
Laporte
Angeliño

Rodri
Dinho
De Bruyne

Mahrez
Sterling
Bernardo

Spurs still don't have much in the way of width so I'd go with the two attacking fullbacks and shore up the centre instead. Mahrez and Bernardo at inside forward to leave the two wing backs the wide areas.

No no no, why change it already?

Sorry, but Bernardo is on the bench for the foreseeable future until Mahrez has a stinker. Same side as West Ham for me.

Looks like we should stop passing to Aguero too then, bring that stat down. Always offside he is.

I’m not trying to be argumentative here, but multiple posters have said that Bernardo is going to be played as a central midfielder.
I know we all hoped he would step into Dave’s shoes but Pep uses him out wide so can someone explain why so many posters think Pep has changed his mind, especially since we have 1 less winger available for rotation now.
