Apparently Son is doubtful

Don’t they usually say that…and then play him

 

[DenisLawBackHeel74]

Which is exactly why he will come back to his devastating form against us.

He’ll play like peak Messi tonight…pulling the strings for Harold to bag a couple.

Yep, you just know it, eh ?

 

[super_city_si]

Really nervous about this one. Cant settle today

 

[Claytop]

Got to be the usual snippets of team news soon.

Forster in goals for Spurs.

 

[SebastianBlue]

We’re doomed.

 

[scousemanc]

So usual drill against Spurs is it? City have 100% of the ball, tippy tappy passing around their penalty area then bang, long ball forward to Son to run on to and score. Pep - you've seen this before. New plan please

Emerson Royal starting for Spurs. I’ve been told via a reliable source

Hope I don't upset anyone with my prediction of the game tonight but... We're going to smash the f*ck out of these lot tonight.
Us fans and the players will be well up for this one and the scoreline could get messy for spuds

Just stopped for chips and curry on the way. It's freezing. Come on blues. Let's hope we have plenty to cheer about tonight.

I dont know, yes we are struggling for shots on goal and wins are hard to come by but I thinks we should score 4/5/6 today

Named after a Brazilian dessert.

Where did you go for the chips?

If anyone can pull a result out of the bag after a dross few games, city can. I'm hoping for a backlash!

I think @Ric put it well. I’m also hoping for something a little bit different and would like to see the start of a new set up or new energy or new something…..

 

[bluemonkey71]

Who’s the midfield going to be? Hopefully Bernie/Jack/Rodders with Phil and Mahrez on the wings

He’s more defensive than Doherty, probably means a bank of 5 rather than 3. Could easily be facing 7 defensive players (2 DMs and a back 5) and a keeper with Son/Richarlison, Kuluseveski and Kane hoping to isolate our defenders. An early goal for us would be very welcome.

Arsenal were very good at stopping Kane act as playmaker last Sunday, if we could do something similar it would stop them getting a foothold in the match. Kane was brilliant in the corresponding fixture last season so if we could keep him quiet we would go a long way towards winning the game.

Where did you go for the chips?

And did he see a bike?

 

[thanatos]

I’d love to see Julian get some good minutes in this game. Need his energy
