Huge game but hope we don't see kompany threw back in as desperation,also what's the latest on mangala ?

He's got another injury. Three or four weeks

I expect Yaya to be on the pitch for longer than any of us would've liked and be totally absent in the game.

We have no choice but to play him especially with the absence of silva

FFS are we ever going to catch a break with injuries,as far as I know we have the worst record for injuries this season it's getting to the stage where you would nearly think it's contagious ..

Pretty much this. We have to find a different way of using him though that doesn't expose his weaknesses so much. Either sitting in front of the defence as a deep lying play maker or in a more advanced role behind Aguero without much defensive responsibility.

If vinny isn't ready we have to play sagna at CB!!

He played in an advanced role yesterday and did fuck all! ;-)
Regardless of where he plays he will need to help out defensively. I've backed him up this season but he pissed me off so much yesterday, strolling around and not tracking his man

Easy win........





For them.

I didn't think he was that advanced yesterday. Looked more of a 4-4-2 to me with Sterling up front with Aguero and Delph on the left. I didn't see many of our players tracking their man either, not just Toure. He clearly can't play in a midfield 2 but I think he could be effective in a more holding position or in Silva's role.

One thin is for certain, that with our current injuries, he's pretty much guaranteed to be starting so we have to find a way to make best use of him on the pitch.

Has anyone mentioned that's its a big game yet?

I think most people are expecting a Spurs win and that may work in our favour, taking a bit of the pressure off. I expect it to be a close game and think that we'll just sneak it.
