Tottenham v. Manchester City (Sun Aug. 15 16:30 BST)

[mummy]

I agree. Might be a decent time to catch them flat-footed.

It's not like we've had the worst performances against City without Kane, either...

If Leicester can beat the nasty little bleached-boys, we can thrash them.

Leicester are better than us though

 

[mummy]

Leicester are better than us though

shhhhhhhhh!!!! Don't say that!

What a lovely game to start with.

so going with the assumption that Kane will be gone , we have the two donkeys dier and Sanchez at the back, no creativity in the midfield , and sissoko , winks , aurier, and Davies still as options ...... I’m going with
1-4 loss

New season, new hope.
That’s the spirit.

Kane should be on the bench surely? Or will he be on a weekend break to one of this country's fine seaside resorts?

He enjoyed Disneyworld so much he has been given leave to visit the Paris version

Rumours,whilst out there, he is asking Mickey Mouse to be his agent have yet to be confirmed...

 

[Beech]

Would go with the same team that started yesterday only with Lo Celso in for Skipp.

 

[MouraThat]

IMO we put Kane on the bench
Just a sign to City that he's our player. Right in front of them.

 

[davlathom]

Do we know how many of there mob are likely to be missing?

so.. do we give him a boo? I like boos.. like being at the Panto!

If Kane is actually available, we need to hope De Bruyne is out; otherwise, Kane will really struggle to play with a giant erection.

De Bruyne is out for a long time along with Foden.

 

[El flaco]

If we have a last minute penalty and Kane is on the pitch…

 

[Don Corleone]

I look at our 1st 11 and let’s be honest, without Kane it’s mid table at best. Obviously we got the excitement of Romero to strengthen our back line but he isn’t fit. Gil is obviously exciting but he’s unlikely to feature. So , we are left with the same crap team as last season if not worse. The same rubbish defence that can’t defend will start. I couldn’t careless of Dier and Sanchez played well pre season. When it comes to the crunch and when the pressure is on, they fail to deliver on a regular basis. Until we get the signings in the door and the ones we have made available, I literally have zero confidence

There has been no rebuild at all so far

Son takes it?

 

[Don Corleone]

Totally agree. Obviously Romero is a very exciting signing and 100% he improves our defence but we need much more, plus the guys not even fit

 

[Airfixx]

I think it was fixed that this was our first fixture, and Sky were drooling over the prospect that Kane would be playing for the opposition. As Kevin Keegan once said " I would just love it" if we smashed this plastic team out of the park.
And Kane should not be allowed anywhere near the team, until after the window closes, if he hasn't be sold by then.

The pretense that the fixtures are picked at random is long gone.... They don't even bother lying anymore.

But now we're playing NUNOBALL.

I see signs of improvement. Even the squad being fitter alone should make a huge difference.

It's always the case that when the start of season and transfer window overlap there is frustration about getting players in to be ready for matchday 1. Well that's not happening so may aswell accept it.

I think by the time the window closes the squad will look far better than it did at the end of last season. And in the meantime I think we will surprise a few people with our performances in August.
