Spurs (H) - Sat 23rd Aug, 12:30 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

[blue b4 the moon]

Just come back 4 pages and it appears no one is moaning about the line up. Can't remember last time I saw that on here. Matchday Thread could be boring today.

Wait until 12.35 in the other forum if we're not a couple of goals up.

 

[Benarbia’s Backheel]

THE VIBES ERA HAS BEGUN

 

[PragueBlue]

Looks like 3 upfront.
Absolutely fantastic.
Former Liverpool assistant putting his stamp on tactics.

I would say it looks more like a 4-2-3-1 (or even 4-1-4-1) but who knows?

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

Fantastic. And look at that bench.

 

[blueparrot]

Yup, another message from Pep that he is committed to a new team and new tactics. Just two changes: Marmoush for Bernado and Cherki for Doku.

Bit of a shock to those that spent all summer telling us if Vianna didn't sell the older players Pep would keep playing them, like he didn't know what he was doing :)

 

[Eccles Blue]

John Stones is starting. John Boy is back. Oh joy oh what a great Saturday!!! :-) ;-)

 

[Rhapsody in Blue]

Very exciting team

 

[Saddleworth2]

Its a great line up but we need to stay calm. Its a young side and we are up against a very good coach and a decent team. There may be bumps along the way but whatever happens, Up the Blues. C'mon City.

 

[PALESTINIAN HEARTED MANC]

Mistake not playing Bernardo and pushing Reijnders deeper as a result imo.seem a bit too front loaded but nobody can say it isn't an attack minded setup.

I'd also have preferred both nunes and ake at fullback for their pace and height as I expect the flanks and set pieces to be Spurs' best weapon. Trust Pep to have a plan and get it right though. Got to win this and set

Will have to agree despite my excitement with this hypersonic line up

 

[BigJoe#1]

Pep.us going got it.

What an attacking team. :-)

That is a very interesting line up..... and the bench!!!!! Fucking hell...... most if not all of them would be the first choice in most if not ALL premiership sides.

 

[axlgod]

Come On City!!!

 

[TFC]

I like that 11 a lot. Fucking come on City

 

[halfcenturyup]

I worry when every **** is happy.

Don't despair. I'm never happy.

And always a ****, fwiw ....

 

[heslops barnet]

Rico starting again ? :)))))

Oh Pep Oh........

Leave it…..

 

[DD93]

Our biggest problem against Al Hilal was transitions...

Looking at our back 4 and their wingers, both Kudus and Johnson are fast as hell..

Rico :D
Stones
Ruben
Ait-Nouri...

At least Khusanov or Matheus and use their pace ?

Either Johny Stones plays his best game of career or we score 5 goals, otherwise I don't see how we can win here..

 

[SWP's back]

Gundo and akanji not in squad….

Considering two had to then that’s the two I’d have chosen as well.

 

[Dialog]

8 ATTACKERS!!!!!!
LETS GO!!

 

[bluemoon32]

Love the line up except you know who

Haaland?

 

[St.Pauli support]

Eddie to get a cameo for the fans at the end?

Could be a farewell Monday: Eddie, Ortega, Akanji, Gundo, Sav?

 

[rodrizontal]

I'd have started Bernardo
