I hope we absolutely batter Spurs and put to bed the notion we can't beat teams in the top half of the table.

I guess that will still be up for debate considering Spurs have so many players missing

We have already got a comfortable point from playing their A team, so no reason why we can to get all 3 tonight.

Will be really interesting to see how we do it defensively if we get put under pressure by Tottenham tonight. Noticed yesterday that City is switching between a back three when they have the ball and flat back four when they are defending.

Wouldn't be surprised if we see Tuchel doing something similar with Azpi taking up more of a rightback position and Chilwell/Alonso at leftback when we need to defend.

Had a look over at thefightingcock most of them are miserable. From what I've read they're pinning their hopes on Ndombele who is the only other player im worried about apart from Son. After losing to Arsenal I really don't wanna to these lot considering they're missing key players and are on a bad run. 

Yeah Ndombele is going to be a pain in the ass. He’s so good at beating press which could be a problem.

Apart from him I’m not really worried about anyone else, not even Son he doesn’t look the same player without Kane.

Big game, their ground, but I will be disappointed if we don't win this. They're at a serious disadvantage, less time to prepare, sh*tload of injuries, bad form, we have to win this. We're due a big game win now, the players have to step up or they never will. 

Games like this are massive, this is why I was so upset over the Arsenal game. A game like that and the players can't even turn up, it shows a complete lack of character or just laziness, either one is not good. 

We must contribute to help Jose to get sacked, for the good ol' days...

I hope Son has a little niggle and not at full fitness. The guy's way too good to be at a sh*te place like Tottenham

Is that meant to be Kane. it looks like someone has grabbed a Ronaldo off cast and remade it badly.

Anyway I thought their most famous non English striker would be Jurgen the German  

Ndombele & Hojberg vs Jorginho & Kovacic seems like a key battle in the midfield.

I don't think Ndombele has 90 minutes in him and will be hooked at the 60 minute mark regardless of the scoreline. I wonder if Tuchel will sacrifice one of the offensive players for Kante and opt for 3 in midfield & depending on how the game is going change 1 of the midfielders for an offensive player once Ndombele is taken off.

It's a great likeness of David Beckham.

Totally agree Imran. Apparently N'dombele came off injured in the game against Brighton and it's touch and go whether he will start for them tonight.

TBH I don't think we could have picked a better time to play them this season.

Only the haircut (let's not forget he used to change his haircut quite frequently) looks like for Kane they have taken the blowtorch and extended the chin to Jimmy Hill proportions, he must have cringed when he saw it with a forced smile for the cameras.

You have forced me tp click on a BBC link, made me look at "Larwo's" prediction....he's gone for a 1 1,  the boring scouse twat ! - only because that is the best result for the dippers    

For me the key elements of the game will be how we deal with our own gaps on the wings in order to prevent the counter attack of Spurs happening...

I don't see Spurs having more possession than us, I'm almost 100% sure that they will rely on the counter attack without any surprises...

Would be good to see Gilmour get some minutes.

On Blue Fans TV many argued that if Kante will play - the one that completes him more is clearly Jorginho since Kovacic and Kante are more similar 

I say start with Jorginho-Kovacic, if it all goes tits up, Kante should be available to come on?? He came on last time against Spurs and actually did a good job. 

A good option to have.

Gol, I really don't think Kante and Kovacic look anything like each other and the latest analysis says 91.72% of people agree. You can't argue with the stats.

With their recent form and injuries and no home crowd if we cannot beat them then we can forget about top 4. We already blew the game against Wolves we cannot afford to do so again against another average team.

Ol chinny over here poking people in the eye with that ridiculous thing

Strangely confident and actually looking forward to the game. Havne't felt like that for a while. Probably lose now.
