Spurs (H) | Pre-Match Thread

[Tokyo32]

Jose will go back to parking the bus after his team let in 5 last night.

5 across the back again, and hoof ball for Kane and Song to chase.

We've just got to make sure we got give any corners away.

Even if they didn’t concede 5 he would still park the bus. It is just annoying that we have to play their 6-4-0 formation where they park the bus. If we can get an early goal that would be good because I know matches like this can frustrate the players the longer it goes without a goal

 

[Gray]

They can’t keep us out for the full 90 minutes. We just need to be patient and retain possession and the chances will come. Lets face it we owe them one.

 

[Prater70]

Lloris gets his form back on Saturday.

 

[Barcon]

Fanny wipes in aisle 12 please.

 

[GornikDaze]

Pretty simple really.

......................Santana de Moraes................
Cavaco Cancelo....Dos Santos Gato Alves Dias....Stones....Zinchenko
Gundogan...Hernandez Cascante....Mota Veiga De Carvalho E Silva
Torres Garcia....Fernando De Jesus...Foden

What does the E stand for?

 

[Gingers Dad]

Why don't we postpone the match for another 2 weeks and put our feet up until Rodri is better? We've got form.

Enquiring about an E on social media can get you into trouble with the authorities.

 

[Tb1981]

I think we’re gonna score 4/5 on
Saturday These guys are serial bottlers and now we’re in form they will sit deep and shit it
High tempo high press stop the ball to son or Kane and they will fold

 

[TheCentralScrutinizer]

spurs did look a handful at corners and Son was dangerous cutting into byline, apart from that its about putting away the chance that we should create

If Everton had a decent keeper that game would have been over by half time,he was rooted to his line all night

 

[Ribchester]

Need to avoid conceding corners, which really means stop them getting down the wings, must take them out as they enter our half, think stones and Dias and Rodri will have big roles covering. Be a great opportunity to hone and perfect our “tactical” fouling arsenal, bit of rotational “tactical” bookings too lol

 

[David Silva #21]

I really really want a big win. Spurs is a very lucky team against us. We must punish them in this match.
and this time, all Jose's park the bus tactics won't be useful against us. with Pep's new tactics we rarely move into opponents box. we are concentrated on shooting outside the box.
So if Rodri and Dias be ready for this game, we will punish spurs.

Ederson
Cancelo Dias Stones Zinchenko
Rodri
Gundogan Bernardo
Raheem Jesus Foden

COME ON CITY!!!

 

[Millo]

This will be a good test of how we have improved. In the past we’ve struggled against teams like Spurs and Leicester who are fast on the breakaway. We need to mark Son closely, he’s caused us a lot of problems in recent matches.

 

[MAG]

That kickoff time world map should be handy for those fans outside the UK. Are you making that yourself each time or pulling it from somewhere? Good effort all round, either way.

My own for each kickoff time ... earlier had pulled some that city had tweeted but most of them had some time zones wrong in them so I ended up making my own from scratch ... yes everything is in one place on that header now, the times, the tv channel in uk, the ref appointments ...

 

[BlueMoonz1977]

We owe these one after the early result in the season. Just have to be wary of Son as he usually has a good game against us, but I expect Stones and Dias to nullify him well

Got to be a win, going for 2-0

 

[Semper aggressus]

I hope Rodri is fit for this. Glad they got taken to extra time last night too, hopefully they’re a bit knackered.

Ideally, if all fit, I’d like to see us start with:

................Ederson
Walker...Stones....Dias....Cancelo
................Rodri
Sterling....Gundogan....Bernardo...Foden
...............Jesus

Probably still too early for the return of KDB or Kun I guess.

 

[Marvin]

We have a problem here if both Rodri and Fernndinho are out.

 

[MillsyTheMosher]

Please can we stop with the utter nonsense of including Rodri in team selections.

Even if it was an impact injury last night he won't be risked in a game 2.5 days later.

 

[TheCentralScrutinizer]

We have a problem here if both Rodri and Fernndinho are out.

Pep will deal with it,were not playing his former Barca team....
