      Yes I was making the point that rather than us worrying about the opposition with using our best players who drive us on and protect the defence Fab / hendo - let’s get on the front foot

      3 points out of 15 surely warrants a little thinking on what needs to change
      It goes without saying that Jürgen is the best manager we have had in years so I am sure he will get it right he usually does

      Sorry misread that my bad

      Id just swith Hendo and Fab....reason is twofold...can Fab give us that spark in midfield andvallow Thiago dictste further upnthe pitch plus I think Hendo can give us those raking balls out of defence which we lack without Virg

      Would swap Hendo for Thiago, getting Thiago farther forward.

      I expect Gini to be in the team as well, not Shaq.

      I fancy us to win this. If matip is fit anyway.
      Not an easy place to go. But looking at the league table we can’t start to lose ground on 4th place.

      Chance to make up some ground tomorrow but still think a point isn't too bad.

      Games like tomorrow aren't the ones that will define our season. Saying it's a must win is a bit over the top for me.

      True mate,personally think we need to string a few 3 pointers together on the spin  though to get a bit of confidence back.

      A reminder to the players from a certain Mr. Shankly, on the pressures of being a footballer at such a famous club with high expectations:

      “Pressure is working down the pit. Pressure is having no work at all. Pressure is trying to escape relegation on 50 shillings a week. Pressure is not the European Cup or the Championship or the Cup Final. That’s the reward.”

      Relax and play with some joy, boys.

      A draw tonight although acceptable but not ideal. A win against Spurs, would certainly be the perfect start to kick starting the second half of the  season, with plenty of points to play for, over the few months.

      Have to go all out for the win and need Alison, Matip and Fabinho to have the game of their lives

      I saw a big improvement in our overall game on Sunday despite getting beat.
      Better movement and more chances created.

      I just fear for our right side of defence and Son won't take any prisoners tonight just like Rashford didn't on Sunday.
      Trent is getting exposed week after week at the moment so he needs to be aware of where Son is on that left wing otherwise he'll punish us, like he did at Anfield a couple of months ago.

      Last thing I want is Jose grinning at the end after picking up the 3 points..

      Always a tight one to predict against the spuds but I reckon we can sneak it 2-1

      As said earlier, a draw wouldn’t be too bad, a win would be great, but with our inexperienced cb’s and midfielders out of position, we’ve just gotta hope for the best.
      Taking advantage of last nights results would be a huge statement.
      Plus it’s always a joy to beat spuds, even more so now, with Jose at the helm !
      A bit nervous now, but can’t wait for KO.

      7 points behind an in form city,6 behind utd and playing the team that's competing with us for top 4/league,it's a must win.

      Wouldn't go as far as saying it's a "must win" in the literal sense but in terms of the title race it's massively important. Don't even think the most eternally optimistic of us on here (and I'd say I was one of them) would be filled with confidence for the title if we were beaten tonight and City went 10 points clear of us on Saturday

      Pressure is a family all banged up together in a rabbit hutch with no money coming in ...during a global pandemic without end.
      Don't keep looking up at others you think are better off than you.
      Look down.
      There many more worse off than you.

      Count your blessings and remember what you can and cannot control.

      Let me introduce you to the unofficial guardian of the forum, the one who bans any negative speech who has some rose tinted glasses welded to his face.

      In my opinion this is a "must not lose" match, more than a must-win, but a victory here would give us back that spark we've lost in recent games and I fully believe we will win tonight.

      Have to disagree with you there, I think a win tonight is far more important than simply avoiding defeat. I don't think I'd be much happier with a draw than I would be a defeat - unless we put in a remarkable performance. Draw the game and we still wouldn't have won a league match for over a month and City could very well extend the gap to 9 points on Saturday. Winning tonight is paramount
