Team v City

[journeyman]

I think we have to avoid conceding the middle of the park so readily from the outset and that playing Kulusevski more centrally in the first half at least could help with that:

————————Lloris
————Romero—Dier—Lenglet
Doherty—Bentancur—Hojbjerg—Perisic
———————Kulusevski
—————Kane———Richarlison

Time to bench Son again also.

There's no way we play 3-5-2 against City (or Arsenal) ever. They are the two teams who play 4 CMs so a 3rd doesn't help at all, in fact it makes it worse. We lose our advantage elsewhere on the pitch just to still be outnumbered anyway.

Forster in goal for me.

butter fingers needs to be dropped

 

[Bluto Blutarsky]

Don’t think team selection will matter much for this one.

 

[THE SPURSBOY]

odds on being 2 down by HT?

I think if it's only two by half time we'll be doing well.

Hugo will do his usual mistake and they'll absolutely carve our defence open as well .

 

[PCozzie]

Have we not suffered enough without another football match!

Oh well, here goes...

4-3-3 because, well, just try something, anything. And so I pick a right back to play right back, not to dazzle in the opponent's penalty box. And also pray that Bentancur is fit.

Forster

Emerson - Romero - Lenglet - Perisic

Sarr - Bentancur - Bissouma

Kulusevski - Kane - Richarlison​

Hopefully, if nothing else, that'll stop us shooting ourselves in the foot before the second half starts. We all know it'll be 5-2-3 though.

 

[nferno]

Lloris
Walker - Alderweireld - Verts
Trippier - Dembele - Bentancur - Perisic
Kulusevski - Kane - Son​

 

[cliff jones]

Don’t want his silly flat midfield three, either- with Bents or Skipp or anyone on the right. Two plus Kulu more central/advanced getting on Rodri’s tits please

 

[BH_spurs]

Forster

Romero Dier Davies

Royal Bentancur PEH Perisic

Kulu Kane Richy

 

[G Ron]

Oh great - matches coming thick and fast so we can be thoroughly depressed again on Thursday. At least there’s no danger of us doing the goons a favour on current form.

Will be lucky to keep it at 2

 

[leelee]

Haaland to score 2.. at the very minimum. I'm dreading almost every game now.

 

[Japhet]

We know it will be 343 again, don't we? Conte thought that was the way to go against the team running away with the league, so he'll almost certainly think the same against the team who should be running away with it. Pretty sure I won't be watching either way.

 

[Pekoni]

————————Lloris
————Romero—Dier—Lenglet
Doherty—Bentancur—Hojbjerg—Perisic
———————Kulusevski
—————Kane———Richarlison

Something like that would work imo. Maybe Sarr for Hojbjerg and Kane being lower of the two strikers.

 

[Humbolt]

We have to lose both games to stop the Gooners winning the league. So do a lottery of season ticket holders and the 20 or so picked get to play. Means our players get a rest and we to lose both games handsomely.

Problem solved.

 

[spursville]

Forster
Spence—Romero—Lenglet-Perisic
Bentancur—Sarr
Kane
Kulusevski-Richarlison-Gil

 

[Neon_Knight_]

Why do we have an extra match this week, compared to everyone else (bar Man City)?
