Spurs v City - CL QF I - Pre Match Thread

[Blue Smarties]

Oh please don’t start.

I think we could get away with a 2:1 loss in the first leg. Getting the away goal is integral.

Just hope we aren't as complacent as we were on Saturday, as we looked like we were playing a pre-season friendly, really hope Sane starts on the left as he naturally pushes back the RB and Kieran Trippier is a big threat with his delivery. Sane's been out match winner on so many occasions, not really sure what else the lad has to do to start, sadly I think we need to drop David S for this one. Btw there isn't much home advantage as they've only played one game in the stadium.

Yep, the Tuetonic Prince must play all the remaining games of the season.

His legs have been saved.

That would not be a bad result though I would suggest 2-2 would represent a good nights work.

Thank fuck the away goals bollocks finishes after this season

The reality for Spurs fans is that we expect to lose. City are a better side. Simple as that.

We hope to stay in the tie tomorrow. Then maybe. Just maybe. We can do something at Maine Road.

On personal level I am happy to lose in the league. Anyone but Liverpool... (and Arsenal, Chelsea. )

You trying to pretend it's 1981 or something?

If we draw 0-0, we have to score one more than them in the return leg to go through
If we lose 3-2, we still have to score to go through, but spuds have to score one more than us

I think that is correct and based on that I would take a 3-2 loss anytime over a 0-0

Either on the wind-up, or it's back to kindergarten bud

 

[lasereyes]

I'd take a 6-3 loss over a 1-0 win as it means more away goals.


Am I doing this right?

Indeed away goals count triple so 6-3 is actually 6-9.

Need to ensure we don't make the errors of last year at Anfield when the tie was lost in 10 mad minutes.
Concerningly I think a lot of players look jaded, understandable I suppose.

Can anyone recommend a good place for parking tomorrow ?

I’m not biting any more. I’m leaving remedial maths for the clinically insane alone for a while.
