What's your feeling about the game? How do you think it'll go from what you saw from our game vs West Brom?

I worry we are still not clinical enough...

Well i have been really impressed with our progress this season, we are now a team that seems to flow and what every part of it is supposed to do. There is no doubt in my mind we are on the verge of good things but we are not there yet. Of course we can beat City but i do not think City are as bad a team as a lot are making out. Pep would have read the riot act this week and it will be no surprise to see them respond tomorrow.

I do understand the point you are making i really do, however for how poor some of their players are supposed to be, how much of a crisis the press reckon they are in they are only 3 points behind us. It will be a hard game and i would expect Pep would have read the riot act this week.

True but I remember when United were just behind us and now their 4 places behind

City are not a poor side but are not a patch on previous sides as they have a weak spine. They have always been strong through the middle for me until this season

They have some class players but they also have some real shockers who i honestly believe are only rated because of the fees paid. Ottamendi would struggle to make any of the top 10 sides for example

Its not gonna be an easy game and it shouldn't be as were away playing in the hardest league in the world but were currently a level above anyone and I can guarantee the players will not have the same fears that the fans have. We have our swagger back and it shows on the pitch

Indeed. Plus i can't get over the fact that we have NEVER won 7 PL matches in a row...this would be just the kind of match that would curtail us. Plus Pep's rep is REALLY on the line now and he would have been studying hard all week...we can only hope Poch has been studying too and coming up with Plans A and B for the game..

Well i can not speak for other fans but i do not fear City at all, however on the other hand i do not go along with those that say they are crap ( not saying you are one of them). As i said with a new manager they are only 3 points behind us, looking at it that way it means (1)either we are not as good as some make out or (2) City are not as bad as some make out.

IMO its number 2 but others may think different.

I honk anyone who thinks their crap would probably be on something illegal but they really are not a team and as I said I think they have a weak spine which is so important at this level

I also think that confidence comes from regular wins and good wins and they haven't really done the yet.

The Barca win should have been a spring board but it wasn't for example

They did IMO completely outplayed chelsea and should have been a couple up before Chelsea even had a shot but they weren't which says a lot about them as a side IMO
 
City are a decent team with some exceptional players. Despite any glitches they have had, they have the quality to come back fighting.
I would expect a very different performance from them to the one they put in against Everton.
But... we are in exceptional form. Provided either Wimmer or Davies, whoever is selected to replace Verts, can slot in comfortably and relatively seamlessly, and provided we can contain De Bruyne then I think we will have the edge. Please let Bravo play and let's get in lots of early shots to test him and hopefully shake him.
Last season the win away to City really kick-started our challenge and belief that we were on to something special.
Let's hope lightening strikes twice. I think it will.
 
Was thinking about the game tomorrow and realise now why we MUST beat and actually HUMILIATE these fukkers!!!

Why?

Well.....

Tottenham still have their doubters but they can win the Premier League title... Mauricio Pochettino has all the ingredients needed to succeed
  • Tottenham have a team good enough to win the Premier League this season
  • The only scepticism is that they seem to doubt themselves when under pressure
  • Mauricio Pochettino has everything he needs to secure trophies at Tottenham
By Jamie Carragher for the Daily Mail

Do you think they can win it? Or do you see this being another one of those seasons when Tottenham promise much but fail to deliver, and show why Sir Alex Ferguson once gave a team talk and said: 'Lads, it's Tottenham.'

There will be plenty of people in the latter category. For all the good football they play — the aggression, the relentless running and the power — and for all their terrific players, there will always be doubters about the men from White Hart Lane.

It shouldn't be that way. When I look at their team, I see Hugo Lloris, a goalkeeper who is as good as anyone in the Premier League. The back four is the finest in the country and Mousa Dembele, the shield in front of them, is one of the best in the business.

Dele Alli and Christian Eriksen, the creative talents, can be measured favourably against any other partnership, whether it is Mesut Ozil and Aaron Ramsey at Arsenal, Emirates Marketing Project's Kevin De Bruyne and David Silva or Liverpool's Adam Lallana and Philippe Coutinho. Then you have Harry Kane, who has become England's finest striker.

So what leaves us sceptical? Is it that they doubt themselves when the pressure intensifies and something is at stake? Last season was memorable but it finished inexplicably at Saudi Sportswashing Machine when a 5-1 defeat by their already relegated opponents meant they conceded second spot to Arsenal.

That was a typical Tottenham moment. It was the same in 2012 when the squad Harry Redknapp managed, complete with Gareth Bale and Luka Modric, were blitzed by the same score in an FA Cup semi-final by Chelsea.

Twelve months earlier they were swamped 5-0 on aggregate in the Champions League quarter-finals by Real Madrid. When they need a result to really change things, you can tell what will happen.

For that reason Arsenal fans coined 'St Totteringham's Day' — the day when Tottenham cannot finish above them in the table —and they have been celebrating it every year since 1995. How they kept the sequence going last year is something Mauricio Pochettino will still regard as inexplicable.

Yet at the end of every season, we always turn the focus on Arsenal and ask what they lack. We will say they need a new striker, a central defender or a midfielder. You can't say that about this group at Tottenham.

All they are missing is a superstar such as Eden Hazard, Alexis Sanchez — or having Gareth Bale still at the club. Then they would be the real deal.

They are not, however, far away from becoming just that. Pochettino takes his team to face Emirates Marketing Project on Saturday evening. A home win would put the two teams level on 45 points but I know which one needs major surgery and which one I'd back for the title. It would be Tottenham every time.

One of the standout performances of this campaign was at White Hart Lane when Tottenham — having seen Celtic set the blueprint for how to disrupt City — inflicted the first defeat of Pep Guardiola's time in England, a rampant 2-0 victory that perfectly showcased Pochettino's vision.

Guardiola would not have been unaware. Pochettino's first ever success as manager, after all, came against Barcelona when he was in charge of Espanyol in February 2009 and hatched a plan to 'press them high up the pitch and surprise them'.

Barcelona won six trophies in 2009, so that gives you a scale of the achievement but if Pochettino went into that contest hoping for a miracle, he will stand on the touchline on Saturday evening feeling he is competing on a level playing field with Guardiola.

This Tottenham team look primed to win trophies. They have all the ingredients you could wish for and it would be a travesty if they ended up being remembered in years to come in the same way as those Leeds and Saudi Sportswashing Machine teams who entertained but had nothing to show for it.

The work that has gone on over the last five years has been remarkable. Their net spend is £1million for that period but that hasn't stopped them from becoming one of the most progressive clubs in the league. To give the figure context, Arsenal's net spend in the same time is £250m.

You do not associate Tottenham with making massive statements in the market, so when they do go to £30m — as was the case with Moussa Sissoko last summer — they have to make it count. Sissoko, as yet, has not made the difference Pochettino would have envisaged.

I wonder whether Tottenham may soon encounter the same trouble as Arsenal did when they moved home in 2006, which saw their transfer budget restricted for several seasons. The new North London Stadium will cost £750m but is it coming at the wrong time?

Don't take this as criticism. Tottenham should be applauded for their ambition, and all the images I've seen and articles I've read about it leave you in no doubt it will be a stadium to take the breath away. I love White Hart Lane's atmosphere and tradition but this will be light-years ahead.

Future generations will feel the full benefit but will it bypass this team? They are ready to emulate the squad of the early 1980s, who won two FA Cups and the UEFA Cup, and win trophies of their own. If they don't, the world's biggest clubs will start knocking on their door.

Do not doubt that Barcelona and Real Madrid will be looking at Pochettino as a potential manager. It will be the same with Alli and Kane, players who want to have medals to show for their talents. They will want to do it at Spurs but if, for some reason, the dream fades, others will look to profit.

Pochettino has players in his squad who know what it is like to win medals. Jan Vertonghen, Toby Alderweireld, Dembele and Eriksen all won the Eredivisie in Holland, Victor Wanyama won the title in Scotland with Celtic, while Lloris left Lyon with the French Cup.

What matters to Tottenham is for that group to do it at White Hart Lane. Chelsea are going to be difficult to peg back but I am in no doubt that they can win the league this year and it would be a massive statement if they were to complete a double over City.

The only thing that could possibly hold them back was if Kane was to suffer another injury — they failed to win in six weeks when he was sidelined at the beginning of the season — but if he stays fit, the opportunity is there.

This might be the season when Tottenham finally deliver.



 
Ah, the needless punditry. One week - they can win it! They are awesome! Better than Brazil in the seventies! Score goals for fun! Great squad depth!

Then an unlucky defeat and it's all - crumble under pressure! Don't have the depth. Never been good enough. Players not up for it! Other teams much stronger. Spurs suck. sexy.

Just shut the fudge up already.
 
I recall City buying Jesus Navas a couple of years ago. He was a journeyman winger who NEVER scores and just had pace.

Within 15 seconds of kickoff versus Spurs he had lashed an unstoppable strike into the top corner from distance. Fux sake.

COYS let's do this. For Balotellis stamp. For little Defoe sliding in. For Kompany elbowing Kaboul. For the 4-3. COYS.

50 years since we won 7 league games in a row, what could possibly go wrong?

A few years ago our players would have been aware of that.
Now I doubt it even registers.
Strong mental character.

I remember the elbow and the stamp well, but had forgotten about Rose's red. What a terrible decision.

What was the result in that game??

COYS... looking forward to this, but unnerved that many in the media are talking us up.
 
We have an excellent home record this season but not so in away matches. We have not beaten a top 6 team away so far this season. We have lost to Chelsea and ManU away and drew with Arsenal. We badly need to improve our away record against the big teams to have any chance of winning the league. We do have a good record against ManCity, winning our last 3 matches against them. Our win at ManCity last season was inspired by Lamela. Hope someone else can inspire us to beat them again this time.

Kane did well to score the hattrick against WBA last week. But he has not scored from open play against any of the top 6 so far this season. His only goal against the top 6 has been a penalty against Arsenal. Hope Kane will lift his game against ManCity and get a goal or two. Somehow, I think our key man against ManCity will be Alli. He did brilliantly to score 2 goals against Chelsea. Let's hope Alli will be in clinical scoring form against ManCity as well.

I think this match will be won or lost in midfield. Wanyama and Dembele have been in good form recently. They need to continue that form to control the midfield against ManCity. Eriksen will be another key player for us. It was his 2 inch perfect cross to Alli which destroyed Chelsea. Hope Eriksen will be at his best and make use of any freekick we get against ManCity.

No doubt we are going to miss Vertonghen against City. Lloris and Alderweireld will need to be at their best to guide whoever play in defence against City. Will prefer Wimmer to replace Vertonghen as he is more reliable in defence than Dier. Walker and Rose have been in great form lately. Hope they both will lift their game to help us in defence and attack against ManCity.

We are on a 6 match winning run in the league. We have never won 7 consecutive league matches since 1967. Hope we will make history by winning 7 league matches in row for the first time in 50 years by beating ManCity.
