Match Threads Spurs vs Man City - FA Cup 4th Round

[Gbspurs]

Man City played very well that half. Hopefully they drop off and we can grow into the game a bit second half as we aren't really in it yet.

If ange wants tricky wingers then werner and Johnson is not it

 

[Misfit]

And breathe...

 

[haxman]

Decent. Gonna get tougher when they make the inevitable changes in the 2nd half. We have our own good option as well though

 

[Impspur1]

whats your take on kulu?

Deki out wide and madders through the middle

 

[Mr Pink]

Is it me or is Hojberg having a really good game?

He's been good.

 

[Hazelton]

Maddison on and Kulu to the right please.

 

[Johnny J]

Not sure when Hojberg and Kulusevski switched bodies but one has been brilliant so far and the other pretty poor, to put it kindly

I believe today is Freaky Friday.

 

[yojambo]

Is it just my eyes or is the pitch cutting up quite a bit? Seen players on both sides slip in the first half. Don't usually have those problems on our pitch do we?

 

[RuskyM]

Thought we did really well to come out of that first 20 minutes because that was an absurd turning of the screw. Our front three work very hard but there's just something missing - might be a more killer instinct from the midfield that's needed. Udogie/Micky/Cuti/Pedro all great as usual.

City pressing so high there is so much space to be playing in Werner and Johnson, just play the ball into the space. Constantly delaying that final ball for nothing.

We don’t have a Maddison or Lo Celso etc on to play that pass unfortunately, hopefully 2nd half.

 

[Tucker]

The issue is that we’ve been unable to get our ball players on the ball and when we have they’ve been ineffective. I don’t think we need to change personnel at this point, we just need to tweak something that gets Bentancur, Porro and Kulu the time they need to pick the pass.

We need Johnson’s pace in behind, and we don’t have anyone on the bench that will offer what he and Werner do.

 

[Oscar22]

I have to say it’s pleasing how often now we are involved in high quality games of football, and not because we’re the underdogs giving it a go, but because we look to play, can defend well and contribute 50% of the quality on display.

Add Maddison and Son to this and I feel we contribute even more of course, but it says a lot how good we can be even without those key players.

 

[Guernman]

whats your take on kulu?

Take off

 

[faze_coys]

I think against other types of teams he’s fine there but against city in those tight spaces it’s not his strength really.

I’d rather not play him there at all, his skill set is protecting the ball not linking play quickly

 

[Yid-ol]

Don't even think we have attempted a shot have we?

 

[stormfly]

Holjberg has really impressed me this half. He’s been really good on the ball. Didn’t know he had that in him.

 

[mdharris]

Well, if Johnson had a final ball

City obviously have controlled. But we have had some good breaks. I’d have Maddison on for Kulusevski as I think we need Jonson and Timo’s pace behind. We really need to find those Timo runs, Maddison will help with that.

 

[felmani26]

We badly need more threat from our wide forwards.

Two speedsters wide isn't giving City enough problems and leads to predictable play.

Crying out for a wide forward able to go both ways and commit defenders.

I feel like players slip on our pitch a lot of the time actually
