Match Threads Spurs Vs Man City

[chas vs dave]

I have a suspicion that we may win this.

 

[hutchiniho]

What i'd play:

Lloris
Romero -- Dier -- Davies
Porro ------- Skipp ------- Perisic
Bentancur ------ Bissouma
Kane ---- Son
​

Forster, Emerson, Sanchez, Lenglet, Sessegnon, PEH, Danjuma, Kulusevski, Richarlison


What Conte will play:

Lloris
Romero -- Dier -- Davies
Emerson -------------------- Perisic
Bentancur --- PEH
Kulusevski --------------- Son
Kane​

Definitely the 3-5-2
But Kulu for Skipp.
Him or even Kane in the 10 for the quick counter release

Wake up, it's time for school.

No way.

The fewer expectations we have for this one the healthier we'll be. Anything other than a heavy defeat will be a bonus.

Pep's no fool. He did his due dilligence at HT last time round. No way he lets us play on the counter. This will be a painful watch. Honestly we have to accept that we are no match for the likes of City or the Goons. Not because our players can't compete. It's because our manager is a stubborn fool who refuses to adjust. A one trick pony. How anyone can hope for him to stay is beyond me.

 

[Archibald-CPH]

Would love to se this:

lloris

Porro Romero Lenglet Davies

Bentancur Sarr

Kulusevski Kane Son

Richarlison​

Sess at lwb for me. Perisic was totally overrun at their place. Be nice to balance that out with the slightly riskier deployment of Porro on the right

 

[HildoSpur]

I'm expecting Porro to start

 

[arunspurs]

I would play 3-5-2 in this. We need 3 man midfield against City.

I would also drop Son & Kulu in this game.

My XI -


Lloris
Romero Dier Davies
Porro Bissouma Hojbjerg Perisic
Bentancur
Richarlison Kane

I would take draw now.

And as President of the newly formed
'Lets hope we don't get slaughtered Society'

I hope we don't get slaughtered.

 

[iddebu52]

I'm expecting Porro to start

Havetseen him in any of the training photos. Why?

 

[totenhamon]

I'm expecting Porro to start

Let's hope our defense doesn't become even more Porros with him in the side

Porro Romero Lenglet Davies

Bentancur Sarr

Kulusevski Kane Son

Richarlison​

Lol that would leave us so exposed it’s unreal. We’d still have 2 man midfield as Kane won’t track back, son barely does, we have Porro who’s best strength lies at wing back being wasted at rb

Porro Bissouma Hojbjerg Perisic
Bentancur
Richarlison Kane

I agree but tbh I would pull Kulu into cm in a de bruyne role and play 3 5 2 relying on porro and peri to provide width.
Richir won’t start given his injury issues, son or danjuma more likely.
Id drop hojberg and play Kulu biss Benta 3 man midfield.

I would like to play Kulu too, only, he has never been used in that role before. So, I dont see it as an option.
Richarlison ahead of Son coz I feel he does deserve a start.

He’s played 10 a fair bit and centrally for Sweden. I’m sure he could adapt comfortably to it but yeah maybe a risk. Just if we have 3 5 2 we do need a more attacking cm in there.
Richie doesn’t deserve a start imo, he’s been injured constantly and was injured again when he should have been starting against Preston. He needs to stay fit and prove himself before he starts.

I’m very suspicious of your suspicion! ?

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

Son is what I think is a bit of a toppy price at 18/1 to score from outside the area.

Kane is 16's and 10/1 to pop one in with his noggin

Here we go!

 

[Bluto Blutarsky]

For me - this is one of those rare instances where there are no bad outcomes.

If we win - "Amazing 3 points!"

If we draw = "Decent result, that. Something to build on!"

If we lose = "We were always expected to lose this one, at least City kept pace with Arsenal!"

 

[GutBucket]

Think Son will start playing well again and we win this.
