Team v City

[the lad]

I am going to have nice thoughts today and begin my team selection v City with Pope in goal and a back three of Romero , Skinniar and Bastoni. All of which were achievable.

I am going to have nice thoughts today and begin my team selection v City with Pope in goal and a back three of Romero , Skinniar and Bastoni. All of which were achievable if a true desire for on field success rather than property portfolio enhancements was first and foremost in the wee Bald bollocks brain.

Inter would sell us two of their starting centre-backs in January? Newcastle would sell Pope less than a year after signing him? All achievable?

 

[SirHarryHotspur]

First priority is to bench Sonny and start with eleven players on the pitch.

 

[rabbikeane]

Forster
Romero, Dier, Lenglet
Doherty, Højbjerg, Bentancur, Perisic
Kulusevski, Kane (c), Richarlison​

Buckle up..
This could be interesting..
Bentacur starts!!!


Outfield ten..

Royal Romero Dier Davies persic..
Hojbjerg Bentacur
Kulu kane son..

Antonio yet to decide on keeper.

But been told Hugo is in grave danger of chop.. very grave.

Forster set to start.99%

The other ten confirmed

Good to hear Lloris get the chop.

The backline makes me want to cry.

NO not in January 2023. I said think of nice things, I did not say nice things are going to happen in the next 48 hrs.
Skinniar when Maureen wanted him , Bastoni last summer and Pope last summer.
When they were ALL achievable.

How sonny is still starting is beyond me...I would have played Richy.
He's been so off it.

I'm really not wild on Richy on the left, but i agree Son is a ghost these days. I guess we have to hope City's high line brings the best out of him.

 

[GutBucket]

Son could always be relied on to score against B. Dortmund and City. Maybe last dance for him in starting lineup, but I would still start Richarlison or Gil over him.

 

[jpascavitz]

Lloris
Romero Dier Davies
Kulu Sarr(Benta if he's fit) Bissouma PEH Perisic
Kane Richy

I'd like to see us try and shore up the midfield while not losing that creativity off the right (Have a CM cover that Kulu area), but just would be my go at it for something different haha

 

[Oscar22]

Richy just has to play over Son, Son has had one good game and it was coming off the bench and didn’t even equate to a full game. At least with Richy on we’ll have 11 out there.

 

[WiganSpur]

I'd go with this:

Forster
Romero -- Sanchez -- Lenglet
Spence ------Bentancur------ Perisic
Bissouma ----- Kulusevski
Kane --- Richarlison​

Seems like Conte is conceding defeat already:

“To win against Manchester City you need to not make mistakes”

 

[Spurs 1961]

Oh dear. Just again shows where his focus is. To beat City you need to do what we have done many times and that is attack them. We will make mistakes even more if that is what we are concentrating on. Don't believe me? Than go play golf and concentrate not on your target but on trying to avoid all the water, out of bounds, rough and bunkers. In any sport the prime focus has to be on what to do not what to avoid. Maybe that's why DL: loves the Jose / Conte type of manager who appeals to the accountant in him

4 of the 5 that played in the last win over city……..

Ha good point. Whilst we may be critical of Contes approach occasionally, he has summed it up quite well. If you make ridiculous mistakes and give away goals you simply can't beat the big teams. Other details matter less when you're chucking the ball in your own net.

 

[YB123]

Come on City! I mean err Spurs...

 

[midoshairband]

Forster
Emerson Sanchez Romero Lenglet Perisic
Sarr Bentancur PEH
Kane Kulu

 

[gavspur]

Personally think it’s time for a change in our approach to the team. And if go with this, what’s the worst that can happen?
