[SandroRedknapp]

Ndombele on is the only way I see us being able to beat their press

 

[kieranfitchett]

Lo celso must be amazing in training

 

[Bulletspur]

I would wait 15-20 minutes to see how the game goes before I would bring on Bale for Lucas

No, for Son. he is only playing on reputation recently. Lucas has a bigger impact than Son. With Lamela, Bale and Lucas, serviced by Ndombele we can upset the cart

 

[rabbikeane]

Hanging in there, and take one opportunity will be the way to win this game. Need bit of luck on our side.

 

[sundanceyid10]

Toby has played well. However what is the point in getting to these finals and playing so cowardly. If they play through us so be it, but at least we lose having a go!
To dare is to do

 

[ackie]

Need Ndombele on to keep the ball a little more

But no mucking about...this is fast football and they are very good at pressing

 

[noiseboy55]

Worst commentary I've ever heard on a football match. Still in it, big team talk for young Ryan

 

[ardiles]

Off Winks Locelso and I am going to be controversial here, Son. Bring Ndombele Lamela and Bale, sorted

We’d need Son for our counter attacks

 

[Neon_Knight_]

Sods law Reguilon gets sent off for a soft second yellow and Man City continue to get away with tactical fouls every time we counter.

 

[Guntz]

Reggy is a red card waiting to happen.

I'd bring him off personally.

 

[bomberH]

Part of me is fuming that Laporte hasn’t been sent off.

Part of me is relieved we won’t lose 0-3 to a 10-man City and be mocked relentlessly for the rest of time.

 

[StevePil]

We are still in it and that was the main thing
Laporte should be off which is frustrating as I feel that is the only way we win by them being reduced to 10 men sadly.
They are going to come out all firing at start of 2nd half and we must keep it tight again
Its clear the current approach is not working so lets hope we can get bale/ndom on and change it up a little as this games ends one way at present which is so upsetting to see us perform like this in 2nd half.

 

[TonyWant]

Airier and Moura our best players
And Toby but we are generally outclassed

 

[KingKay]

We are riding our luck. I'm quite disappointed by our approach. This feels too Jose-like.

Ryan needs to get us on the ball.

Ref is a wanker though, Laporte should be off

We’re hardly going to play City at their own game are we?

 

[SA_Spurs]

I'm hoping for tanguy, bale & then later on Lamela to come on and have a go at them ....no point in losing without having a go. I think Mason has set it up for us to have a go 2nd half - time to be brave & aggressive then COYS COYS COYS!

 

[lincspurs]

All this talk of taking Lucas off he’s probably been our only shining light so far

 

[Goofster]

We’re still alive, just. Very unpleasant viewing. We have absolutely no midfield. Lo Celso is even worse than Winks! Still we can do this, still a chance!!

I was surprised to see Lo Celso start this one as I felt he was miles off match fitness against Southampton. Shame really since there is such a big player in there.

 

[bloodzeed]

Bale to score a free kick winner

 

[Inq]

Anyone on for winks. I’d give Gio another 10 to see if he sorts himself out.

definitely can’t be playing out from the back anymore

 

[TheSpillage]

I know Lo Celso was dreadful but it could’ve been worse. Could’ve ended up with Fernandes
