Hello Mr Jinx.

 

[The Black Shed]

The bad feeling I had this morning has gone. I now think that City will win to zero!

Balls out football for the three Spurs (and hopefully future) CL games and Manure. Game management in most of the others.

We need to make sure this is not one of those games where we have a 20 minute spell where we capitulate. They will come at us all guns blazing, so if they score, we need to be able to deal with it and not give them another couple off the back of it. Weather the storm and we should then grow into the game.

A few weeks ago i would say we yes, but last few games performances have been well below par, either we have been playing well within ourselves with this game in mind or we are playing below par!

I know we have won last few games without much fuss(Swansea an exception) but without the attacking , free flowing football we normally see.

Lets hope we rise to the occasion again and normal service is resumed.

Spurs struggle against pace, so I'd play David Silva as sub and Sane, KDB, Bernardo and Sterling as the AM and wide players.

For all his decent delivery, Trippier isn't quick and gets exposed by pacey wide players - often lunges when beaten for pace.

Steady on,don't get all positive on us;)

Ederson, Walker, Stones, Otamendi, Laporte, Fernandinho, De Bruyne, Bernardo, Sterling, Aguero, Sane
Bench: Muric, Danilo, Kompany, Mendy, Gundogan, Mahrez, Jesus

Spurs 1-2 City

Have a feeling Pep isn't going to try to start Mendy twice in four days, and expect him to push Laporte out there as opposed to Danilo.
Also wouldn't be surprised if he played Bernardo and Sterling on the wings, only a few hours to find out!
