Tottenham Pre Match Thread

I think we will loose 0-10 if we go with this lineup.

I disagree it's the best way of getting the best out of the players available whilst dropping Kolarov and Yaya because they have been pathetic recently. Only debate would be Fernando for Demichelis.

Agree, I think definitely Fernando in for Demi in that position. Also, I would love to have another look at Celina. He might be a future star.

I agree with you 0-10 is daft with that lineup. 1-8.

Dave being out changes this from a bumming to bumming plus

Presumably because of his incredible contribution of late ?

Sagna ..Ota.. Demi.. Clichy
.........Fernando...........
.....Ferny.......Delph....
..........Sterling............
.....Nacho.....Aguero.....


Keep the midfield tight and forget the wings.

Good side that if the 3 in midfield don't go past the half way line the 3 up top should do enough for us to win it. 3-1

zaba at right back and sagna for martin and thats as good as it gets

From the training pictures it looks like VK AND DS are definite non starters on Sunday.

Massive underdogs to get anything from this game.

 

[PragueBlue]

If he leaves Fernando out of the team we lose simple as eriksen, ali, dembele, will have a field day

Pretty much all of our worst performances have featured Fernando (including Spurs earlier in the season).

I'm not saying we shouldn't play him but if you're pinning your hope of of us getting a result on him starting, I think you may be slightly overestimating his capabilities.

 

[Tricky_Trev]

Leicester & Spurs two-horse race. Best functioning sides in this league by far. They stand out from the varying degrees of shite that make up the other 18 teams.

 

[Bluekiwi]

Do not be tempted to look at todays training gallery piccies.

I looked and decided it was a waste of my time - but on reflection, why are they jumping hurdles? To avoid the lunging tackles or preparing for the Rio Olympics?

 

[Bluekiwi]

Think Pellers will go with....
Hart
Sagna Otamendi Demichelis Clichy
Fernando Fernandinho
Sterling Yaya Kolarov
Aguero
Subs, Willy, Zaba, Humphreys, Delph, Celina, Garcia, Nacho

Easy Spurs win.

I thought I'd rearrange it a bit:
Hart, Willy
Zaba, Sagna, Otamendi, Humphreys, Demichelis, Clichy, Kolarov
Fernando, Fernandino, Delph
Celina, Sterling, Yaya, Garcia
Aguero, Nacho

Don't think their midfield would find much space amongst that lot so we might be able to snatch a win.

 

[vmsuhail]

If Spurs had won their home game against Leicester, they would've been top of the league. We really should be winning the 6 pointers against Spurs, Arsenal and United.

 

[Biamp]

On a positive note: Sergio Aguero has 10 goals in eight appearances against Spurs.

 

[George Hannah]

Spuds have committed the highest foul this season.

Was that on Peter Crouch?

 

[George Hannah]

Have you somehow mysteriously intercepted the brain waves of Pellers? That could be the only explanation for that team.

-----------------Hart-----------
Sagna--Otamendi--VK----Clichy
'------------Fernando–----------
Sterling--- Yaya--Dinho-- Kelechi
------------------Aguero-----------


Gives us a chance.

[tonea2003]

first time in a long time it feels like we have our backs to the wall in a league game
spurs have all the momentum and we have all the doubts
and despite the injuries we will still have a strong team, especially if the captain is back
important game in the season as we will know all the results by kick off

 

[i8rags]

Dreading the next five games, maybe it's nacho time, time to give us at last, some of the missing ingredient that we and Sergio need.

I think it will be similar to that though he'll probably stick Delph on the left instead of Iheanacho and I doubt Kompany will start.

 

[hinchcliffes bulbous conk]

If we are all shitting ourselves that much, Spurs are as long as 5/2 to win.

I'm not feeling too optimistic and there is loads of negativity about for various reasons, I'm just holding on to the hope that we tend to do well when backs our backs are to the wall.

Come on City.

 

[dannyboy29]

Hart to have a Barca/Dortmund type game and Sergio to make something out of nothing on the break. 1-0, job done, move on.
