Spurs (h) pre-match thread

[Tricky_Trev]

Thank you for a sensible post . Most don't think we stand a chance , are probably the same ones who reckon you’d beat Palace and Newcastle last year ,and then got a shock.
We are a far better team than those teams mentioned .

Bit of a nothing comment that really, since to be fair we are better than Watford, Liverpool, Arsenal, Wolves, Bournemouth, United, Burnley, Southampton, West Ham and Chelsea. Which are all teams you lost to in the league last season, and not always just once, and excluding two defeats to yours truly.

Rules have changed for this season. Wouldn’t have stood under the new rules.

You have more faith than I do with the VAR Officials

 

[cleavers]

nd excluding two defeats to yours truly.

Three in fact ;-) (2 in three days).

Haha true, I was just referring to the league, but you are right.

No I don't believe that they lost to all those teams. Nor do I believe the stats I heard on the radio today about their results against top six teams in the last 4/5 seasons.

spurs are a good side and if were not at it are very capable of giving us a bloody nose,however if we are on song I believe we beat every team in the league unless the dodgy pigmol get involved

I’m sorry but Bernardo will not play LCM to replace David. He’s never played that position. Bernardo’s game is all around being based on the right and cutting it and out. Putting him in David’s role limits him IMO. It will be a choice between him and Mahrez and after last week I would go Mahrez.

Same team as last week for me.

3-2

Not sure if right place but there relief buses ( both ways ), from Eccles to Piccadilly instead of trams! for the spurs game.
Also Ashton line goes to Bury
Thanks Tfgm

We will smash them . They will not be able to cope in anyway with our energy angles and press


They will be beaten in the tunnel when they see our focus and how every player in blue is better than them.

7 nil.

it won't be 7-0 mate, but I believe we will win, were mentally stronger than them and that will see us through.

Hopefully var will spot their attempted leg breaking tackles tomorrow.

It won’t be deemed a clear and obvious error though, as the refs are instructed to allow that against us.

Tried over fifty times to predict a Pep line up last season and was wrong every time , so here is the team he will not pick :) Ederson Walker , Stones , Laporte , Zinch Bernardo , Rodri , KDB Mahrez , Jesus , Sterling would be good to see Cancelo , Dinho and Foden get a few minutes

I love your optimism.

There's quite a lot to be said for it: "we are by far the more superior team" Tottenham know it, we know it, the world and his wife know it.

The problem with V.A.R. is that we'll need to score at least eleven goals to beat them seven nil.

You wait. This is Pep and rotation. Ederson, Laporte, Stones, Otamendi, Angelino, Gundogan, Foden, Mahrez, Jesus, Aguero, Bravo

And it'll somehow work.

 

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

It's every f*cking game.

I'm also expecting the ref to get in the way a lot. Dean tried it against W.Ham, but the players just kicked the ball at him. There was three or four times he had to leap out of the way.

Makes no sense though. The new law says that, if the ball hits the referee, he has to stop the game. If he’d wanted to ‘get in the way’ surely he just would as it’s the easiest way to stop us attacking?

Pep Guardiola on Mauricio Pochettino: “I don’t know if Pochettino receives as many compliments from other managers like me, but I don’t think so. My opinion about him is a high standard, even if he doesn’t believe me, so he’s a top, top, top, top manager.”

He really isn't pep

Ridiculous , we don't need two goalies against Spuds , rush-goalie will be enough , just play Ederson then :)
