Spurs (H) - Sun 3rd Dec, 16:30 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

Why is it lol? I just think Rico deserves to play and don’t know who else he could fit in for. If stones plays then Kyle plays as stones steps into midfield. I think we struggle without that defender stepping in midfield and I personally don’t think akanji is good enough to do that.

Up against Son and you want to leave our most rapid defender out, I think that’s worthy of a lol.

Ederson
Walker
Stones
Dias
Ake
Rodri
Bernardo
Doku
Foden
Alvarez
Erling

Has to be, right?..

If Spurs play like they have been doing then there'll be plenty of space for Doku, think that would be a better option than Grealish's attributes for this match.

Yeah maybe if you put it that way. Not saying “I want” to leave him out. I just think the team plays better with a defender going into midfield, don’t you think? And akanji isnt the answer. But yeh I see your point about Son. lol ;)

Dias has been great for City, but I'm not sure after last night Pep will select him on Sunday. If Stones is fit, he may go with Ake and John as the cb pairing and if not Ake and Akanji.

The weather doesn’t look good for Sunday, forecast sleet and snow

Soft southern cunts won’t like that

Let's go. A few facts before the match against Tottenham, although they may not mean nothing somtimes. Since the 2018/19 season, every time they play against City, they turn into Avengers.

At the beginning of the season, they faced several weaker opponents, which significantly improved all their statistics. However, the match against Chelsea dramatically set back their season, making it difficult to say that the statistics accurately reflect the actual situation on the field

Their record in big matches doesn't show the significant fluctuations that actually happen on the field. They played 2-2 away against Arsenal, even though they could have won. At home against Liverpool, they played 2-1 with two extra players in a match they were more likely to lose than win. Against Chelsea, there was a total collapse from which they are still recovering (hopefully, they won't find their form against us).

Total shots attempted:

City 214 - on target 93 : Conversion rate ; 22%
Spurs 210 - on target 77 Conversion rate ; 17,12%

Key passes / Chances Created

City 173
Spurs 162

Passes Attempted

City 8347 Passes Completed (Opp. Half) 4163 Passes Completed (Own Half) 3411
Spurs 7500 Passes Completed (Opp. Half) 3326 Passes Completed (Own Half) 3314

Spurs facing 13.5 shots per game ( City 7.5 ; We concede too many goals compared to the actual number of shots on target we've had). We both have 4 Clean sheets.



Cmon City

Been dreading this game for weeks.

I hope we don't F up

I am looking forward to it. Big game against a hated rival, love it

 

[Blu1]

Can see this being 3-3 or a 4-3 win.
Not an easy game this

It's going to be a tough game. Stones is vital to this game, If he's still not available we will find this difficult.
