Match Threads Man City vs Spurs - Match Thread

[Chimbo!]

Our body language has been poor since kickoff. No belief in the team, formation or tactics. Hasn't even been hard for city.

We are playing city, an outrageously good team.

 

[dagraham]

Just remember we are always shit in the first half. The fact that we’ve already scored a goal is a bonus.

In all seriousness this is a recurring theme no matter who we are playing.

 

[shelfmonkey]

How is it that they can afford to have three players boxing in one of ours and we still can't seem to find an out ball?

Spare players are not showing for the ball, it's called being gutless.

 

[Grapo2001]

Not popular to say these days, but Sissoko had been dreadful. If anyone should be hooked it's him.

 

[Jamturk]

Lo Celso must come on if he’s 80% fit or more.

Because of his performances for Betis in the Spanish league last season?

Miss Verts

 

[spurs mental]

I know we aren't pressing City like crazy because we're afraid to get sucked in and they play through the press. But they're playing through us anyway so i dont see what difference a bit more energy and bite would do.

 

[belsunz]

Zinchenko arguably is their weakest link. He hasn't even been tested yet. Surely we should target him more second half?!

 

[Maske2g]

So much overreaction in here. They're a world class side who we know are much better than us and they're showing that right now (not to mention we're without Son, Alli and the likes of Ndombele and Lo Celso are yet to settle).

They'll likely beat us but why the drama?

That's not why people have the hump. People have the hump because we have gone backwards in 2 years. From the team that got 86 points we are a shadow of that side when we should have gone forwards.

And everyone here whether they admit it or not, looks at this team sheet today and thinks, we are gonna get beat here.

 

[faze_coys]

There is not a centre half in the world that beats aguero to that ball.

The ball shouldn't get there. That's too level football.

Saw the same thing last week at West Ham. Diop couldn't get back in cos of walker's pace. Jesus gets in front of the other defender. The striker will make that run 10 times a games on the off chance the front post CB will be out of position. The defender should be there

Agree the ball should never get there but Toby should be anticipating that it does, his positioning is shocking once he’s glanced over his shoulder and seen aguero, he should be dropping off a yard so aguero can’t make that run. He doesn’t need to beat him for pace if he drops off

 

[nidge]

I blame Trippier.

 

[g_harry]

Probably because we want to win something, and if Liverpool can challenge city then theoretically so should we be able to.

At the moment liverpool are better becasue i believe their players are putting in more of a shift than ours.

 

[WalkerboyUK]

We had three players go towards Bernardo, he lays it to De Bruyne who has no-one bear him. Pings ball into the box and it’s 1-0.
How is De Bruyne left completely free???

 

[SdB]

Is Lucas still getting in Kane's way?

 

[spurs mental]

I can't believe we play the 3 again in the CM area.

IT DOESN'T WORK.

Sissoko and Ndombele in the CM. Winks off.

Lo Celso in the middle with Moura and Lamela out wide. Eriksen off. We need Lo Celso linking the attach, Eriksen very average for me.

They've all been fucking average mate

 

[poc]

Just watching that aguero goal again I just don't get how Sanchez just doesn't bust everything to stop the channel for the cross he's just like holding the line then slides at the last minute.

 

[paulcumpstone]

Not popular to say these days, but Sissoko had been dreadful. If anyone should be hooked it's him.

Or stop playing him on the pissing wing

 

[Thewobbler]

HT and were still in it. Lets goooo

 

[shelfboy68]

It’s not Poch’s style to make personnel changes at halftime. He expects his starting eleven to do better.

But they won't

 

[Metalhead]

Days like this when everyone’s bad so everyone chooses their favourite target to rip. Proper Tottenham this

Players get a proper savaging on here don't they.
