The Horse's Mouth Posted 26 October 2016 Share Posted 26 October 2016 hope we're as shit as we were last time, that was such a satisfying win. I do worry though, if we continue to defend corners like we have been then I think it could be over quickly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corky Posted 26 October 2016 Share Posted 26 October 2016 Just put up a fight please. Make it hard for them, the players owe the away fans that after the league away games this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vardinio'sCat Posted 26 October 2016 Share Posted 26 October 2016 Troll-tastic. Is this funny or a bit worrying, or both? I guess both sides will be up for this, banners or no banners... http://www.offthepost.info/blog/2016/10/photo-leicester-fans-prepare-banner-mocking-tottenham-finishing-behind-arsenal/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+offthepost%2FTLAa+(Off+The+Post) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Livid Posted 27 October 2016 Share Posted 27 October 2016 It's going to be incredibly tough. I think they will be really up for this. Hoping we get our tactics and team selection right and just give them a game. I want a win but I kind of just want to see us put in a performance, the result will be what it is.

If I were selecting a side to go up against what is, at present, the best footballing team in the Premier, I'd go defensive - concentrating on choosing players who can hold the ball and keep possession - stultifying Spurs great capacity for creating chances. With their excellent close control and speed-of-thought, they're a team of many talents but, as we saw last season, quite capable of blowing-up when frustrated or provoked. I see Dele Alli as the key to this and would be inclined to see he got a lot of 'vigorous' attention - disrupting that midfield in any way possible. I don't think Claudio can do much about the back four. Simpson is currently getting a lot of plaudits for his work and I would prefer him to Hernandez at RB. I'd stick King in and not Amartey - Kingy has a better perception of what is going on in a game and is more comfortable on the ball. Drinkwater is a given (only slightly less so than Schmeichel). I would choose Vardy and Musa - I'd like the threat of their speed and of them putting in low crosses to disturb the concentration of Alderweireld and co. I'm not sure about Mahrez or Albrighton - Albrighton has the better work ethic. I'd rather City come away with a loss by one goal than get a confidence sapping drubbing. 0-0 would be excellent. However the guys should remember they broke Spurs cohesion and spirit last season by maintaining their own - it would be an excellent time to remind Spurs, the rest of the Premier, the snobby pundits (who want us to get back where we 'belong'!) and anyone else who thinks this City side are a one-off, to think again. Great post Gerbold..........one thing though. The pundits aren't snobby - they're conditioned reactionary zombies, incapable of flexible thought......I'm afraid there are increasing numbers of these types in the world now, but I digress...

lcfcben76 Posted 27 October 2016 Share Posted 27 October 2016 I'd start ulloa tbh, need to sort out these corners and I think he's one of our best defenders from corners.

Guest CityFan 06 Posted 27 October 2016 Share Posted 27 October 2016 Tottenham away, I'd go 4-3-3 for this one on Saturday. Spurs are, for me, up there with one of the best overall sides in the division. They are well organised, fit and have quality in abundance. Under Pochettino I think they could do great things and their a league title candidate IMO. But onto us, I hope we can manage to get some sort of result. As mentioned, I'd go 4-3-3 and it would look something like this: Schmeichel Simpson Morgan Huth Fuchs Drinkwater King Okazaki Mahrez Musa Vardy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't tend to worry about formations too much as they tend to be pretty fluid... shinj know now his job and when to drop back... Musa and Mahrez are ok at the tracking bit too (Mahrez much improved and very evident v Palace) maybe Albrighton for Musa? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
