Match Day Thread Tottenham Hotspur v Manchester City

They'll re-sign Dzeko to guarantee a couple of goals...

 

Only in the bookies eyes are we favourites,I suspect many will have Spurs down as the away banker on this weeks coupons
Since Tim was shown the door we've not had a sniff against Spurs as they are prepared to graft so much more than we are and have been much the better side in the last few matches against one another

Presuming Guardiola stubbornly keeps the clown in net so I can't see much change from last weekends battering at Goodison other than probably Zabaleta dropping out and with the new saviour on the bench

As ever the game will be won or lost in midfield,the very idea of having the aging Zabaleta & Yaya providing the legs against Everton looked preposterous on paper and even worse on grass so hopefully the not so special one has worked that out this weekend
Think we will go 4-1-3-2 with Fernando holding

Will you be messing about with it at the back?

Saw this first thing this morning and thought exactly the same. So Spurs that the most vilified keeper in the PL becomes a hero for the day!!

 

Almost certainly

 

De Bruyne is on a run of 40 attempts at goal without scoring - which is apparently a record.

 

Excellent.

 

The previews in Metro and the Standard both believe we'll be doing further damage to Guardiola's reputation on Saturday.

Thanks for the jinx, fellas...

 

Well we all know what happens to that stat tomorrow night

 

De Bruyn to score a hat trick and Bravo to save (another) penalty. It's a banker. (He said, trying the RCL technique on match predictions....)

 

Going to the game tomorrow, so will call it now.

Son to come on with 12 minutes to go.

 

Judas says he could fix John Stones in just two months

Stones is contracted until 2022, so that's Judas' wealth of knowledge rendered worthless for another five years.

 

It would be interesting to see what happened if he tried to score an own goal v their keeper.

 

He'd miss but the keeper would deflect it in.

 

We'd get a corner, our fatal weakness.

DE BRUYNE!!!

*shakes fist*

 

Wimmer gets the nod and is the only forced change from the team against WBA. Happy with that, I like Davies but I think Big Kev deserves the spot in Jan's absence, very good CB who was brilliant last season when he stepped in at a similar time.

COYS!

 

No GKN even on the bench!

 

Hope we don't need to chase anything late on as there's only Sissoko on the bench as an attacking option.

And I would point out to all that in order not to further perplex some other forum users - well, one at any rate, this thread should not contain any personal opinions during the match about a) the opposition b) the standard of refereeing and in particular c) any suggestion that a card (either yellow or red) should be given to a member of the opposition team. I am not 100% sure, but for safety's sake we should probably also exclude any negative comments about our own players and coach.
In fact, it would probably be best if no comments whatsoever are added to this thread between 17.30 and approx 19.25hrs.

We thank you for your cooperation!

(Alternatively...... we just continue to do what committed football fans do and rail at the injustice of the world!)

 

Citeh have gone all-out for this. I can't see a defender apart from a back 4 with Otamendi and Kolarov as the central 2. Only Yaya as a holding player? Wow. This could be some game.

 

Feeling confident we can get a result
COYS
