Spurs (H) - Thu 19th Jan, 20:00 | Pre-Match Thread

I agree with this. We need a David Silva. We should look to buy a midfielder who is quick, can carry the ball and see a pass. Haaland would come alive.

Dave wasn’t particularly quick in terms of pace, mentally amazingly quick though

They were awful against United, Liverpool, Arsenal but those sides took full advantage with goals. We'll probably be happy to get to half time 0-0 and giving them lots of encouragement. Mahrez will be fouled endlessly by Sessegnon and won't get anything for it, wonder if Foden could do similar to Saka on the right getting in behind and drive into the area.

Son scoring is pedictable but he's crap and scored in one game this season, surely we can't gift him a comical goal in the first twenty minutes.

Kdb, Bernardo, Foden, Gundogan, Mahrez, Palmer, Grealish etc. If Haaland is not alive scoring a goal every 68 minutes then I fear for the opposition when he is.
City are not a machine but human after all. They have been a little out of form. That's over now. We are going to see the boys in blue raise the bar now that Arsenal have taken up the mantle. Liverpool tried for 5 years and apart from 1 season we showed them how it's done. They're gone now. They have taken the Man Yoo position of fighting for the Europa league. It's north Londons turn to see how the City school of excellence operate. Bring it on City.

O

You know it.

People are still fucking posting those "distorted perspective" Rodri "handball" (maybe it was, maybe it wasn't, but it was certainly not as clear cut as the "freeze-frame at the moment it most looks like a handball but it's taken from a perspective that doesn't allow for parallax error) photos from Everton last season, stating that we only won the title by a point and this "corrupt decision in City's favour" was how we won that one point.

 

[Father Paul]

There's only Spurs and 18 others.

Maybe there are two ghost teams to go along with Attwell's ghost goals.

 

[Father Paul]

Think we'll need at least 4 goals to scrape a win tomorrow night. Just can't see that happening but would love to be proved wrong.

Why? No reason why they should score 3. Our defence is nowhere near as bad as some of you are making out. Our big problem is that we are prone to conceeding at bad times usually in big games. Not ideal but not a disaster either.

I meant remaining games... And each time we play them it will be another team, unless the law of averages gives the other team an unchanged team from when they last played us.

Number 4 on the unsuitable username charts.

He wasn’t afraid to put in a tackle and lead a press. Really miss watching him, such a wonderful player
