Manchester City v Tottenham Hotspur, 17th April [0-1 AGG]

wtf are you on about

WTF are you WTF'ing about?
WTF?

We have 2 big matches this week against City and both teams cannot play the same 11 in both. Cl comes first and we therefore play the rested players including those injured if fit. therefore 1 enforced change from last week, Moura in for Kane. Hopefully some of the other injuries will be fit for Saturday, (Dier, Lamela and Aurier) I just hope we do not lose both although if we score, we can still get through on away goals which I can see happening.

This is the thing for us.... Freshening up for the weekend (in the areas one would like to) is virtually impossible.

2 draws would be amazing!

 

[Airfixx]

Surely our players can get get slight groin strains before Friendlies like City, Chavs and Liverpool players do?

Sure.... Just not the one at the forefront of your mind; cos he's captain.

City will almost certainly apply constant pressure. Do we start Llorente to help win the long clearances and start the counter? No pace but he’s a big target.

A combo of good out-ball target and pacey breaks should help keep them on their toes (and take a little pressure off us at times):

Sissoko / Winks / +1
Lucas / Llorente / Son

Pack out the CM area when out of possession (knowing we've got 2 men to patrol each flank) and bypass MF altogether on the break.

 

[Clynelish]

Would be great, increases our chances of going through by 30 percent.

 

[Wellsey]

Is that 32% now them?

 

[Totti]

If Winks is fit:

Lloris
Trippier - Alderweireld - Vertonghen - Rose
Sissoko - Winks - Eriksen
Lucas - Llorente - Son
​

 

[Clynelish]

Is Dele out for sure?

Most likely it is going to be Son Nando Moura front or somekind of variation featuring the 3. Llorente had at least 3 good chances I rememder at the goal yesterday which were all on target or near misses including that hitting the post from the Foyth feed. I understand the night and day difference bt Huddersfield and city but if Nando against City converts just one or provide an assist to either Son or Moura? boy I can't wait. It is going to be fucking panic city sweating, shitting and crying all over.

Nobody knows. Imo we will only be sure when we see the teamsheet

Lloris

[Eskimo]

He was over at Stevenage yesterday watching the game.

 

[Totti]

Dele?

Don't think he'll make it.

Dele will play IMO...

Loads of players have played with broken hand bones over the years.

Long as he ain’t planing on playing in goal I reckon he will be fine!

Awesome.

Unbookable Fernandinho to drag him down so he lands on his wrist then.
