Match Tottenham Hotspur v Man City (2/2/2020)(4.30pm)

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

People seem to forget - we are creating lots of chances. Son, Moura and Alli have been wasteful up top. We know they are capable finishers and they will find their shooting boots pretty quickly.

Our defence has improved and the injury list is getting smaller.

Get the early goal. Rattle cities confidence. 3 points to the hotspur.
Is Sane back? Aurier is no match for him.
 
So, Sessegnon or Vertonghen at LB then? Is Davies fit for selection?
Tanganga did move over to LB second half vs Liverpool when Rose was subbed off.

sess would be an even worse option to be fair. It’ll have to be verts. Bit of experience at the very least
 
Can we keep all this no DM and No Striker stuff in the transfer moan thread now.

Windows shut, this is our squad, now it’s on to City and support the boys that are here.
I’m intrigued as to how we will set up.

I can see us winning this.
 
.....................................Lloris

Aurier..................Toby.........Sanchez.................Sess

.....................................Tanganga

.....................Lo Celso...........Ndombele


Lamela........................Son...........................Bergwijn


Gedson, Moura, Dele, Winks, Parrot, Jan, Skipp, Gaz, Dier


Sorry but despite what we need in the summer, this isn’t a bad squad by any stretch.

I think it will be

[FORMATION=352,Lloris,Tanganga,Alderweireld,Sanchez,Aurier,Lo Celso,Winks,Dele,Sessegnon,Lucas,Son][/FORMATION]

With a bench like: Gazza, Vertonghen, Dier, Ndombele, Gedson, Lamela, Bergwijn

Strong bench, but I would still like to see Parrott on it.
 
IVE FOUND MY SPURS ZIPPO LIGHTER!

THE SEASON IS SAVED

UMPTEEN : NADA

SON with a brace , Moura with an orthopedic shoe & , Dele with corrective eye surgery
 
We seemed to cope much better when Kane was out under Poch. Whereas Mou was crying about a lack of anyone to replace Kane as soon as he was injured. Not sure that did Sonny's confidence much good - he seems to be getting chances but missing more than usual. Mou needs to back him as our main striker while Kane is away.
I think Son was a big reason why we coped so well in the past. He's not looked the same player in recent weeks (maybe the Gomes incident knocked his confidence a bit?) He's still trying, for sure. Things just not quite going right for him on the pitch at the moment.
 
We started winks at DM against this lot last time and we were absurdly lucky to get out of it with a draw. I don't know why we didn't get someone in, maybe we have a long-term target for the summer. Anyway, I think we're a bit screwed for this one because no actual DM is a huge issue. I almost agree with those calling for Wanyama to start, at least he's defensive first and foremost. Play him next to Ndombele and lo Celso and see how it goes.

Son has these ups and downs, and I think he is searching for confidence at the moment. Hopefully will go on another hot streak soon. But I'd prefer Mourinho to say we can cope without Kane, we have done before, Son is a great player etc, rather than whining about what we don't have. Be positive, don't show the players your doubts. Mourinho can get negative when things aren't going his way and that doesn't usually go well.
