Match Threads Spurs vs Man City - Match Thread

[markdadude]

Moura has been awful. I’d hook him for Son.

Our midfield cloggers have done well enough considering.

Trippier and Davies must be on borrowed time. Neither really suits a back four. KWP must be getting close to a call up.

Kevin Friend is a ****.

I'd hook kane for son. Not his best half but Moura has done a couple good things

 

[WiganSpur]

Eriksen on please Poch because you can be damned sure KdB will be coming on for City sooner rather than later to exploit this space.

Alli on first for me, offers more defensively and our best opportunities have come from direct running rather than passes. The longer the game goes on at this scoreline though it's going to be more about possession and that's when i'd have Eriksen on for Sissoko.

It's clear that Premier Leaue are looking for a Liverpool City league tussle. Decisions are seriously questionable for both these teams.

 

[Ekmek]

City haven’t even been good so far

Thank you Trippier & Sissoko we could’ve actually have the lead

Sissoko have been our best player so far

 

[thePessimist]

We look so disjointed. Every move so random. No plan. Mistake after mistake

 

[EnfieldYiddo]

We really lack composure in final third aside from Lamela

 

[yankspurs]

Tbh, I'd go for broke straight away. KWP, Eriksen and Dele for Sissoko, Trippier and Lucas for me coming out of half. Maybe we'll get something out this with those subs.

 

[mpickard2087]

The effort is there, but it's all rather messy and frantic when we do get the ball.

Ultimately though despite being up for the scrap, shooting ourselves in the foot again thus far. The goal is ridiculously bad one to concede, and then we've absolutely barbecued the two best chances of the match when clean through on goal.

Very concerned about the space we're leaving between the lines for the Silva's (and Mahrez/Sterling when they come inside), and if we don't close that and get closer to them that is going to get punished at some point.

Hanging in there, but got to step it up more.

Tripper, Davies and Dier. Mid table players at best.

What does KWP need to do to earn a start? Why are we persisting with Diers invisible man act? And pls buy a Left back.

City in 2nd gear and strolling

I think Dier & sisdoko has made it a bit difficult for man City to play through the middle.
They're restoring to targeting Trippier quite rightly

 

[Mr Pink]

Sisokko ridiculous with that back pass but overall he's been bloody good. Much more involved than Dembele, and I love Dembele.

I think he's the one to change first, let's bring Eriksen on now.

 

[Metalhead]

Giving a chance to some kids who you've literally already got under contract anyway and who have been doing well is much, much lower risk and indeed higher-reward.

Oh yeah, don't get me wrong, I'm all for seeing the kids get a chance.

 

[BuryMeInEngland]

Is it as bad as the half time stats would have me believe?

 

[Tucker]

Refs been awful.

Not sure what Fernandinho needs to do to get booked.

 

[thefierycamel]

Poch needs to be proactive and make subs early. Can't be waiting around until the 75th minute

 

[sparx100]

Lots of disappointment here, but we have to remember we are playing against the best team in the league by a country mile.

Both full backs showing their weaknesses. Dembele and Dier being too slow and cumbersome on the ball, Lucas has done nothing and Kane just looks off the pace.

The good thing is that we have options on the bench which is good but to be honest i am not sure if they will make much difference against a superior team.

 

[yiddopaul]

Happy to be at only 0-1. If we can hold on to that deep into the 2nd half, maybe we can sneak a cheeky goal or two! We've had to very good chances. They do seem to leave themselves open at the back. Just need to be more clinical.

 

[Rocksuperstar]

Wow, anyone listening on Radio 5? Pundits clearly hate each other, sniping at one another and being proper dicks about it.

 

[Ekmek]

A

Sissoko....well played....the rest...not....

I think Dier has been ok also

 

[ernie78]

Can’t beleive we’ve gone from having the best defensive record in the league to looking like nervy school kids. And as for our pressing???? Something is very wrong

Why do Arsenal get mistakes in their favour literally every match then?
