Jose rates Lucas, he said he wanted to buy him few years ago and from what’s available he believes Lucas is the best option as CF. Let’s see what’s tomorrow’s setup, I expect the same.

£20 on Stirling to score then.
Really important next few games this. I said before Christmas that the games running up to, and including, the Chelsea game would make or break our season and we failed that test. But such is status of the teams in the EPL outside of Liverpool, they just keep giving you chances. Chelsea are on target for a point total just over 60, which if that’s what it takes to get top 4, is pretty pathetic. With them playing Man U next, we again have the chance to close the gap.
First up is Man City and tbh, in the back of mind I’m thinking, what exactly do they have to play for? They can’t possibly think they’re going to make up the enormous point difference Liverpool have on them now do they? Regardless, this Man City team are very beatable imo. In attack they’re very efficient but in defence they’re all over the place and we will get chances. I feel if we play the same way we did against Liverpool, to the same level, we will beat them. And how huge would that be for this team and our fans. It might not be the prettiest of games tomorrow but I’m very optimistic.

(Moura and Bergwijn to come on as subs in the last 20 minutes and tear them a new one on the counter)

Surprisingly positive consensus in here, I’m blown away.
Jose’s got to win one of these big games sooner or later, why not this one? I want winks, Lo celso and Ndombele to start thenI will be a happy bunny.
Would love to see Stevie B get a cheeky start but I’m almost certain that he won’t be involved until the last 20.

Have you read the Liverpool match thread.
Anything is more positive than that.
I think the 2nd half performance is what people remember from that game. If we convert chances then we should be OK.
Lamela played well in the reverse fixture. Will he start?
Off topic, did anyone watch the Liverpool game? Blatant penalty foul on Ings and the ref didn't even bother too check out because it was against pool. One time var needed but it might have got in the way. And they scored their 1st goal from the counter attack. Sickening to see this blatant favouritism. Let's get rid of refs altogether and let the teams just beat the shit out of each other. A large part of their PL lead seems to be due to this happening over and over again.
Phew
Phew!
I don't think Lucas should ever be a starter.
And they're serving Venezuelan Beaver Cheese tomorrow!
Euros instead....
1-0. Bergwijn to come off the bench to win it with a debut screamer... if carlsberg did spurs games...
Is that Beaver - as in the animal?
We seem to be somewhat of a tricky fixture for them.
Every team is a tricky fixture for us. I'm hopeful we can pull something out of the hat but we flopped against Chelsea and Manure when it mattered too.

Neither did Poch
Pep has openly said the CL is the only trophy that matters this season for City, whilst their Real Madrid game is still a month away that type of thinking will impact the players. If we can keep our shit together this is an eminently winnable game, patience will be the key I reckon, and quite possibly having a stronger bench (against City blimey) as they rest a few players recovering from knocks.
City if they play their best football still arguably have the best players in the league ... but we're not that far behind and if we have the right mindset (and a bit of VAR luck) we can win this one ... COYS

He's better suited as a pacey sub that comes on when defenders legs are tired and their concentration isn't at 100 percent.
And wall come tumbling down my brother.
Change (no Davies + Steven in).
Without possesion, Lamela/Steve (Ndombee) drop to make a 4 (5).
Vorm, Verts, Foyth, Winks, Sessegnon, Moura, Alli
No way Gedson starts over Winks, he only had 7 passes in almost an hour against Southampton. He is not ready to start a game like this.
Blue Moon forum is surprisingly pessimistic. Quite a few predicting a narrow Spurs win.
