Spurs (H) - Sat 23rd Nov, 17:30 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

[blue b4 the moon]

Amazing how many BM geniuses think they know better than Pep. Virtually every one of his innovations- play out from the back; inverted fullbacks, ultra high line of free kicks, pass back to goalie from kickoff - has been derided when it first appears. Then in a few months, everyone has adopted it.

Yep there's a reason he's on millions and sat in the managers chair rather than posting crap on BM.

Really looking forward to this one now.

Nothing better than a 5,30 under the floodlights. Despite our poor form there probably isn't a better team for us to play at home at the moment. Big ange only knows one way, which should play beautifully into our hands.

We've got the best team to select from for some time. 5 points off top , 4 points above Arsenal. If we ever needed confirmation of how far we've come then the media calling this a crisis is that.

81 points to play for. If there was 9 I'd be worrying


Ederson

Walker
Stones
Dias
Gvardiol

Kovacic

Savio
De Bruyne
Foden
Silva

Haaland

3-1 city

My eyes see us sat in second place this season after winning 4 on the trot…

We've lost four in a row, which is the first time in Pep's CAREER... Some of you live in denial... I've said before that a down year/down year (s) is almost inevitable after our unprecedented success, but we've played FAR worse than we have in past seasons that we started slowly; even my junior son with no stats could tell you that.

In the prem it’s two in a row, let’s see how we go on against spurs before the panic sets in

So far Haaland, Walker & Lewis appear to have returned unscathed and after tonight hopefully Bernardo, Kova and Gvardiol will join them together with Ortega on Wednesday then Ederson & Savinho on Thursday to restore the international absentees. All could be expected to be available on Saturday along with the pull-outs - Foden, Nunes, De Bruyne, Doku, Grealish, Dias, Ake, Akanji and maybe even Stones. If McAtee survives the U21 Dutch friendly there's a good chance of a full complement of 20 senior players for Pep to choose from provided Gundo hasn't crocked himself in training!

Good team and hopefully correct prediction. I'll be a tad concerned if we don't see these off.

Will the Co-op Live be open pre-match? I saw the email about the gig going on that day, but it wasn’t clear if the bar area will therefore be closed to city fans pre match or not?

No. If there is an event at Co-op Live on the same day as a match, there will never be a pre-match event in there as the bar area space is part of the concourse area for the arena

Where did i say i know more than pep ? It is fact spurs do this move on us every time we play them
