I'm not expecting as weak a City team as Pep is hinting at. He's come and won at our place the last two times, and I think he's the kind of spiteful (in a complimentary way) character to think "I'm never losing there again". Similair way to how Ferguson and Mourinho would think.. I've a feeling it'll be a pretty strong team with a couple wonderkids dotted in.

But still enough rotation that we have to think we have a chance if everything goes right.
 
That couldn’t be anyway further than how we are as a club nowadays.

Couldnt agree more. Bit of a blagger pep in a polite passive aggressive way.

Weaker team is relative. His 2nd 11 would probably finish top 4.
 
Shame odobert is out injured and for a fair while by sound of it. He looked good earlier in season. Need to win tomorrow to stave off the vultures. Atm im 55/45 in favour of Ange.
The vultures are few. Queen Joan Thomas and her princesses have a very inflated opinion of both their own ..ahem..opinions and their own influence.
The vast majority of proper Spurs fans want and hope Ange to succeed.
And he will succeed. No question about it as Fergie used to say.

Fuck Porro, Romero, Udo...don't deserve to see the pitch for a while. Same for Brennan, though to a lesser degree...see if Odobert cares more about helping his RB out.

Madders can't play 90 mins, got the stamina of a 20yo kitty. Bring him on round the 60th min.

If Sonny still ain't fit, play Timo. He's shite but wouldn't risk Mikey from the start. Give ze German the first half then take him off if he still can't muster anything.

I think this is a good shout, but no Werner. If Son isn't fit, start Johnson on the right and Odobert on the left. But I fully support dropping a few after the pathetic effort v Palace. Johnson has had a good season overall so, a bit like Kulusevski, I can forgive his poor game v Palace. The likes of Romero and Udogie have had several shit games and deserve to be dropped.

*Edit if Odobert is out and Son isn't fit, then fair enough, start Werner and bring Mikey off the bench.

Son and Odobert both ruled out.
