Spurs (a) - Post Match Thread

What a fabulous result. After a crap 6 days and the vultures circling we answered in the best possible fashion.
 
It was refreshing to hear Poncho say that the penalty decsion did not effect the result. That City were the better team and deserved to be winners.
Can't imagine such compliments coming out of the mouths of Maureen, Klippity or Winger.
 
I had the weirdest dream last night. I dreamed Joe Royle came on as a sub and put a penalty over the bar. It was a realistic dream as he had a massive gut on him, and I woke up half believing it had happened.

On a more serious note, well done City. It took character, guts, mental strength, the lot, to come off the back of three bad results, go away to a decent side like Spurs and win. And with a bit of luck it could have been 5 or 6-1. Taking everything into account, you could call that the best performance of the year.

The important one is goals scored. It's loads.

It’s a moderate to good amount of the chances he’s had. In other teams creating what we do the front three have scored 30-30-50, ours have 15-22-30.

But that sums up the whole team, none of them convert the amount they should. We should be hammering the all-time record top flight goals scored (Villa 128) or even all leagues goals record (Peterborough 134) with the amount of good chances we create.

I think our conversation rate is poor and Sterling is one of the worst for it. Especially good chances.
 
We have to put last nights case into context. Tottenham are bang in form, done really well at Wembley and not lost in league since we beat them last year. We totally dominated about 90% of the match. Outstanding performance and really good to see the Laporte/Kompany combination work so well.

All this is your opinion. The only places such sentiments have been aired is in the media - or on scum website - both of whom want to undermine us. When you say the above highlighted quote - who the f**** are you talking about??? Certainly with what we’ve achieved & how we’ve achieved it - no City fan would entertain such thoughts. On the contrary, we are more convinced that the 3 results that went against us were mainly down to bad refereeing decisions.

So please, move on.

I'm pretty sure you were pissed up when you replied to that and didn't read or comprehend what I was saying but on the off chance you're saying I'm making it up...

I've literally seen posts just like that on bluemoon forum a mod even alluded to it, so wind your neck in and YOU move on.
 
That great win could easily have been 6 or 7 if we were ruthless and efficient in front of goal. Spurs hadn’t lost there for 8 months apparently. So glad we put them to bed and destroyed that stat.

I would imagine Pep has said pretty much that to the players, go out and break all the records you possibly can from now til the end of the season, they do deserve that with the football they've played, people will point to one series of games where we weren't at our best (or the officials) and try to define us on that, this way, we will go down as record breakers which will be there for a very long time.

Well done lads.

Ps, was that George Formby doing the match analysis with Graeme Souness ?

No, he was out cleaning windows. Craig Bellamy, wasn't it?
 
Great performance - worth the hassle of the M1 and M6 closures and getting home at 1.30. Big shout to guy next to me who looked about 15 and spent most of the game sat down with his head between his knees. Amazing what a shandy does to these kids
 
Definitely feel better waking up this morning. Feared the worst before yesterday and we’ve taken a battering from all quarters this week. Rag and scouse shithouses reaching unbearable levels of giddiness, despite them potentially finishing the season with fuck all. As others have said it could have and should have been more too. Well done City, let’s happen the swagger stays for the rest of the season and we can take out a few more records.
 
Well done lads, came through the goal just before ht and the nervy start to the 2nd half and a great tactical change by Pep, made the difference immediately.
 
Good team performance. Weathering Spurs period of pressure after the last 10 days, shows character. Well done boys.

I love what he is doing for the team, but he has poor finishing, I dont think many would doubt that. They got deflected because he was indecisive and allowed too much time to get deflected.

Wrong. The only one which was indecisive was when he took it around Lloris and had the defenders on the line. I felt he should have scored that one. The chance in the first half wasn’t - the pass was slightly behind him so had to take a touch which gave the defender a chance to block and the one from De Bruynes sublime pass was fantastic defending. He couldn’t do much more than he did.
 
Had a few too many last night woke up at 6 thought go down stairs make me self a drink thinking we had lost last night, then dawned on me, sobered up very quickly [emoji3]

I suggest you spend a bit of time reading the forum because there’s been a few who have said he’s not all that.
Tbf they are dinosaurs who harp back to the good old days of a ‘big man’ upfront and pine for Mancini.
 
Sublime first 30 minutes then Pep was very astute with the changes.

Feel a lot better now after last week's setbacks.

On that showing we don't have too much to worry from Spurs next season. I had seen them as a serious rival.
 
Was yesterday a record attendance for a City League Match?


I thought our performance was a microcosm of the whole season, with a blistering magnificent opening, occasional self indulgence, a daft twenty minutes, and thanks to wasted opportunities, the nagging feeling that the game was never quite over.
Plenty of drunk City fans, and I wish we'd stop singing that embarrassing song about Mourinho, which amongst other things, is so disrespectful to Bernardo.
