Spurs v City - CL QF I - Pre Match Thread

[Tevez City]

If the players will run for 90 minutes, then lets run to win.

....................Ederson
Walker Stones Laporte Danilo
.................. Fernandinho......
....... De Bruyne ....... B Silva
..Sterling ......... jesus................ Sane

If Walker isn't 100%, then Danilo at RB, Otamendi at left CB and Laporte at LB
No need to risk Sergio at the moment

No to long ago the proud cockerel on their shirt would crow, especially after beating us. Nowadays they are psychologically scarred from playing us, so much so they should sport a chicken on their badge cos we're gonna pluck their chicken shit feathers at their new stadium - White Squawk Lane.

Spurs are a decent side, but we play them like we do every other team. Our recent games home and away against them
have seen us come out on top. I see no reason why this tie can't be any different.

---------------Ederson
Walker--Stones--Laporte--Mendy
------------Fernandinho
-----KDB----Silva----Bernardo
---Sterling---Aguero---Sane

Yep , that team will give us our best chance ..... playing 12.

 

[Gozzah]

---------------Ederson
Walker--Stones--Laporte--Mendy
------------Fernandinho
-----KDB----Silva----Bernardo
---Sterling---Aguero---Sane

Almost agree
---------------Ederson
Walker--Stones--Laporte--Anyone But Mendy
------------Fernandinho
-----KDB----Foden----Bernardo
---Sterling---Aguero---Sane

They will 100% target Mendy now that they know He has just returned from injury. Add that to the fact He could not defend if his life depended on it, Eriksen, Son and Co. Would/will tear that left side apart.

Lads, it's only spurs.

I’m sorry but Mendy cannot he anywhere near the team for this game. It’s clear he struggled today and defensively was caught out of position many times and looked like he was running in mud. We cannot afford that against Spurs as they will punish us.
I don’t have the answer, but know a man who does.
Come on City a nice win for us at their new place will do just fine!!

I didn't see that at all. I thought he had a reasonable game.

I am a bit worried about Walker. Guardiola says he has back / hamstring problems. I am hoping that this is an impact injury from Knockaert rather than a strain.
