Tottenham - EFL Cup Final | Pre-Match Thread

[prestonibbo_mcfc]

Foden to get man of the match 2 years in a row.

He won't be playing. Think Pep will go Sterling, Jesus & Torres ;-)

Steffen
Walker
Dias
Laporte

Get it done, no fucking about.

Any updates on Kane's injury? Google'd around a bit but haven't seen much of anything.

Reports today that he’s winning the race to be fit.. in which case he will be fit

Kane will be in the starting 11 whether he's fit or not. Hope he's in the same shape he was for the CL final where he was useless.

City 2 - Spurs 1

I don't think we'll win with that starting lineup.

I don't think we'll win with that starting lineup.

You're right

 

[birchwoodgingerste]

1981 still hurts. They have "new manager bounce", got a win last time out, still think we'll have too much for them and would love us to batter them. No silly mistakes fellas.

I was there both games was absolutely gutted was only 10

 

[Legal Alien]

Let him know you're there, Ruben!

They are so reliant on that fat tongued fucker

City 2 - Spurs 1

Torres and Sterling are a complete and utter waste of space. I'd rather play two EDS lads, hungry for success.

 

[SuperSilva21]

Think he’ll rest a few but it’ll be a much stronger side than the one against Leeds. I’m going:

Steffan
Cancelo | Dias | Laporte | Zinc
Bernardo | Ferna | Gundo
Raz | Jesus | Foden

Does anyone know which pubs in town are showing the match?

People do post real crap on this board.

Fairly certain we've never conceded from open play vs Kane. We've always had defenders who knew how to handle strikers like him (Otamendi in particular pocketed him every time) and Dias is no different.

Son on the other hand...

Almost every time an EDS forward has played for us they've been worse than useless (I fondly remember every single Brahim Diaz performance against any team not named Fulham). They're in the EDS and not first team for a reason.

No worse than Torres and Sterling then.

I say EDS because he,presumably, will not want to risk any other first team players.

Neither Sterling nor Torres have an ounce of confidence left. I have been telling my mate, a Leeds fan, that Sterling can no longer even control a ball and after watching our defeat he agreed with me. Add to that can't pass , beat a man or score the simplest goal, that is where Sterling is at the moment, and has been for a some time.

 

[Akpowell]

Strongest team ever possible, no slow start, no 50 passes to move 10 yards forward, no fucking about at the back, go at em from the off and smash fuck out of them.

said same to my Spurs mate, Sterling wouldnt get in my Sunday team atm, has lost all confidence falling over his feet or the ball with no composure and unable to beat a man. dont know whats happened since the Liverpool game where he seemed to be on a high.

Raheem Rashford.

 

[Greenjob]

Maybe Raheem should try some of the Rashford 'self promotion technique'. Books for kids, school dinners and maybe teach kids how to cook? Bollocks that's been done....err ok then. "Try to pull a ferret out of Jason Manfords arse.
I bet Rashford ain't done that"?? ;)
