Tottenham - EFL Cup Final | Pre-Match Thread

If our "fringe/squad" players can't come into the 1st team and perform when required then they don't deserve to be at City.
They are stealing a living.
If you get dropped for your own personal performances, then you should be professional enough to knuckle down and prove to the manager that you are good enough.
If they want to sulk and carry on having stinkers then they should be fucked off out of the club

No doubt there will be changes, can see Sterling, Dhino and possibly Torres starting. Our so called second string players should be more than good enough to perform against Spurs, but recent form of Sterling, Mendy and Torres doesn't inspire confidence.

Play Foden, Gundogan and Bernardo from the start and get the game won and hopefully we will in a position to take them off early.

We have to avoid extra time at all costs , strong team is the only way , i am actually dreading seeing the team news

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Steffen
Walker Dias Laporte Cancelo
Bernardo Fernandinho Gundogan
Sterling Jesus Foden

I don't think he'll rotate as much as we're expecting.

We have two goes at psg, just one at this

That's exactly the thinking that cost us the tie vs Spurs two years ago. It was bad logic then and it's even worse now.

 

[iceman]

Steffen
Walker Dias Laporte Cancelo
Bernardo Fernandinho Gundogan
Sterling Jesus Foden

I don't think he'll rotate as much as we're expecting.

Need foden and bernado for psg

If we field a strong side there will be no extra time

Can't rest wholesale even if there is big game coming up. Can't take Final lightly.
Return of Aguero and Kevin is good sign even if they can come from bench if required for few mins means we will have quality as substitutes.

A cup final should be the perfect opportunity to make a point to Pep and write names in history books. If thats not enough motivation i dont know what is.

It's a final ffs.
Needs to play our strongest available starting 11 and stop thinking about upcoming games or worrying about opposition. Let the opposition worry.
Max 9 games to the end of the season.
No excuse for rotation at this stage.
