Match Threads Spurs vs Man City - Match Thread - Day 9

[nferno]

Sissoko again. Please start playing GLC, he offers so much more.

I agree generally, but for this sort of game it would be suicide to start with both Ndombele and GLC without bedding in their midfield partnership beforehand - IIRC, they have never started a game together. Also, Sissoko is beneficial for these sorts of games where we will be under the cosh for long periods.

In the summer I would like us to upgrade on Sissoko though, he’s too limited and we need someone who can do the same as he does but with footballing ability to boot.

I quite like sissoko in the big games

 

[GutBucket]

Bergwijn still finding his form this season but it's not like Bale and Lucas are quite there yet, shame about Lo Celso on the bench. Son and Toby had some huge games vs them in the past, hopefully we see it again.

 

[PrettyColors]

That lineup of attacking midfielders they have is fucking impressive. And that’s without Foden or Sterling.


Will be extremely tough.

Sanchez not in the squad again, looks on the way out

While you're at it, can you also give me the winning lotto numbers.....................Cheers lol

That's a big call. I think it's much more likely mourinho is giving him time away to get his head in the right place. No way we sell him surely. He's got potential to be a huge player for us. Still young for a CB.

Any half decent explanation for why Bergwijn?

Fresh, pacey

I assume the reason he's picked Bergwijn is that he must be freshest after not playing on international duty. Otherwise its a bizarre decision as he has been poor all season

I was actually thinking about this. Does it seem like our player take the most time to adapt to the PL?

8 minutes. Rash challenge by Aurier where this is minimal contact but Jesus goes down. We fume that it’s not a pen. Everyone else says it is because if you make contact, the player has a right to go down. A few mins later the reverse happens to Kane but no pen. We fume but everyone says he was looking for the contact.

Nailed on.

 

[EireYid]

That City team is ridiculous even without Sterling or Aguero. Going to have to be on top of our game in every position today.

Its a big surprise. He's either been killing it in training or the other players are a bit fatigued. Bale on 60 minutes is a substitution I like very much though.

Bergwijn is just fine. I wouldnt say hes still adapting to the league. He’s developing and needs to find form. Its difficult when there are 5 players for 2 spots. He’s the best option outside Son & Bale, IMO. But Jose likes Lucas more.

Fresh, pacey

He hasn't looked fresh or pacey for a long time.

 

[TheTanguy]

He hasn't looked fresh or pacey for a long time.

But hasn't played for the national team last week unlike most other footballers on the pitch today. Probably looked good and hungry in training.

He generally does well when we don’t dominate the ball and we are not likely to today

Agree with this. I could see Lo Celso start over him next week though. Chelsea’s always more of a shithouse type game anyway.

 

[Dr Know]

Ref having a really bad game

 

[cider spurs]

Fuck off Dean you twat.

Don't mind me, just getting some practice in.
