Spurs (H) | Pre-Match Thread

[TheCentralScrutinizer]

Looking at the goals he conceded last night, we just need to shoot low to Lloris' left side (his left, shooter's right), aiming for the far corner. Over to you Raheem, Gundog, Phil and Gabriel.

he's been garbage for a good while,his performance against the Dippers was shocking

Assuming Rodri/Fern are injured or won’t be risked

Ederson
Cancelo Stones Dias Zinchenko
Gundogan
Bernardo Foden
Mahrez Jesus Sterling

Up until this season Gundogan’s best form in a city shirt was as a 6 and at the moment I think he could play anywhere given his confidence.

Cancelo giving us the extra man in midfield when we’re in possession.

2-0 city

Deffo have to watch Son. His movement and pace is fantastic and he always seems to find his partner in crime. Stop him and you stop Tottenham.

 

[Woody135]

Why are you selecting Laporte over Zinchenko?

When will people appreciate that Zin offers this team exactly what Pep needs from it?

His linking into midfield is vital. We don't need an orthodox left back, same as Cancelo is not a right back.

Apart from that, the team is spot on.

I would like to again see Foden go wide right, Sterling on the left and Jesus down the middle.

Their LW will also likely be someone like Bergwijn or Lamela or Moura. Hardly world beaters and more there from a defensive mindset so we don’t need a CB playing LB.

Fully with you, Zinchenko isn’t far off the single reason our season has turned around. Yes players are stepping up, but the single notable change in starting 11 for this run is Zin. His first start was away at Chelsea and has played since and we’ve won since. That game and performance changed our season.

Not because of his quality or him personally, just because he is a perfect full back for a pep team when Mendy isnt and Walker isnt.

Putting Zin in has given us so much more balance and he deserves the recognition his ability deserves.

Bet Son chance to conversion rate on our goal is like 100% he gets a chance and always bags it.

 

[blueparrot]

We need Dias to be fit and ready for those corners which Son swings over for Sanchez to head in.

Not normally he doesn’t think he’d only scored once before last night for spurs, no idea if that was even from a corner.

 

[Stoned Rose]

These are absolutely shit.

We will bum them all over the gaff.

A trickier game than the dippers just by the fact they seem to have some sort of weird jinx over us lately. I think the last four fixtures we have mainly battered them but have not won, we either draw or lose. Given the rags have a nailed on three points at West Brom I'm hoping we win to maintain the gap.

Never trusted Spurs as opponents ever since we lost the 81 replay. How fortunes have changed however when they beat us a few months back.

Couldn’t cope with another game where VAR comes to there aid. Let’s batter them so there is no chance of another fuck up with either an offside or a handball goal robbing us again.

predicton: win 2-0

Sheffield united like this post.

That's a good call.

Not that it matters, but, West Brom managed points off us and Liverpool, so, you never know.
So long as we keep up the good form, we should stuff Spurs - and it's important that we put them back in their box, after a few poor results against them recently.

 

[TFC]

Pile on City, and rub salt right into those wounds.

 

[blue cigar]

A good test for Pep this. In the away game they just kept hitting Kane who turned and looked for the run from Son, it caused us all kinds of problems and we couldn't get near Kane. Pep usually learns pretty quick and shuts the opposition strength down, I'm sure he'll do it again here but Kane will just hit the deck for 90 minutes to frustrate us, I actually hate the ****.

A repeat of the 5-1 win at WHL in 2010 when Nasri made his debut and Dzeko scored 4 would be great. We were bouncing in the away corner at the end singing:
1-2 1-2-3 1-2-3-4 ..... 5-1

Happy days Blues

I'll be livid if we let one in.

 

[Lavinda Past]

If Spuds manage to play 100% better than they did last night against Everton, we'll win 5-0 - They're genuinely shit.

Mourinho will probably park the bus. In fact, I wouldn't be at all surprised if he leaves Kane or Son out of the starting eleven. They'd be delighted with a 0-0, the underachieving wankers.

Open them up early and they'll fall apart.
