Spurs (h) pre-match thread

Would’ve started Mahrez but I’m not to disappointed seeing Bernardo back in the team. Our squad is unbelievable.

Would have kept mahrez and played Bernardo in the Silva role.

Interesting to see Gundogan in and no Davie Silva, what a bench

 

[mccity]

More than strong enough for today.

If I was mahrez or Jesus I’d be so deflated. So so harsh on them. Gundogan hasn’t looked very sharp either so slightly concerned by this line up but gotta trust pep. Cmon city

 

[Tricky_Trev]

Proper harsh on Mahrez and Gabby

It is. I can only hope Aguero and Bernardo’s fitness levels are good.

John has a knock

More head scratching caused by Pep. Is that Gundo in the Silva role or two DMs ? KDB or Bernardo on the right ?

Let’s hope Pochettino is also scratching his head.

 

[argyle]

Yikes. Feel for Mahrez and Jesus.

 

[TRUE BLUE NO1]

happy with that starting 11...come on City!!!

 

[journolud]

Angelino not in the squad for the second week running. Why did we buy him back if he's not even in the squad?

This post is quoted far more often than it deserves and here is another

Don’t like that midfield against theirs. Rodri and gundogan together don’t look mobile enough, we know gundogan likes a slow jog back and Rodri’s been doing it throughout pre season too. That’s going to leave us exploitable in transition. Expected to see Mahrez but delighted Bernardo’s in he will at least offer some more energy coming inside. Plenty of options on the bench should we need it.

Oh yeah, Mahrez and Jesus will be devastated to miss out to... our player of the season last year and.... our record goalscorer.
I just can't understand why pep would play two wasters like that...

Stones injured ?

Doesn’t matter what has gone before pep has made that abundantly clear in his press conference. However you look at it dropping mahrez especially after a near perfect performance is harsh.

I reckon our bench would give our starting eleven a good game tbh.

 

[come-on-barney]

Good job we bought that Center half :)

 

[discopop]

So a quad strain then
