Spurs v City - CL QF I - Pre Match Thread

[kaz7]

i just dont want a repeat of anfield last season. Players were overwhelmed by the occasion, that cant happen again

I think having the coach bricked unsettled us more than the occasion

Can't let Moura run at us too often.

I would love us to take them apart and put it out of sight.

Agreed, very dangerous player. Fernandinho has to start.

Agreed, very dangerous player. Fernandinho has to start.

He was excellent at Liverpool and gets them 30 yards further upfield.

I thought Rose was their best player on the day at Anfield, so we really need to watch the wide areas.

Pep talks at 2.30pm

Which journalist will be first to mention empty seats?

 

[Thaksinssoldier]

The jugular.

We need to go and land an absolute hammer blow tomorrow and ensure they can't even dust themselves off for the next 2.

Can Mendy play two games in three days? Seems like a risk.

I wouldn't play him at all but suspect this will be the team. Still have nightmares about his shambolic performance against Spurs at Wembley earlier this season. We'll need his height at defensive set-pieces though, as well as keeping Trippier cautious.

Too soon for Delph and Zin still injured...

The only other thing Pep might do is three at the back, Laporte the left hand side and sacrifice Mendy for another body in midfield like Silva?

He played 80 mins Pep likes to give players returning from injury plenty of minutes to get rythmn.
Reckon he'll do another 70 on Tuesday.

Where is everyone going for a beer before the game?
