Spurs (A) Post Match Thread

[PragueBlue]

I've not seen the incident yet after the pen but it was shoulder to shoulder for the 2nd yellow. Plus it was Gundagon who caused it not Zinchenko.

It was Mahrez who caused it with the shit corner.

Thought our first title defence was poor but compared to this season it was successful. I hope Raheem is ok but for God's sake keep him out of the team. Start giving game time to Foden and Garcia and Bernardo .Today was a hard watch our man of the match should be the fans that made the trip there

 

[hobbsisablue]

Zinchenko I would argue is possibly one of the brightest in our current team! Left out to dry today. Our best left back and it’s not even his first position. Takes intelligence to play out of position.

He's not a defender

 

[simon23]

As long as we don’t go from Sane and Sterling to Oyarzabal and Zaha.

agreed - that Oyarzabal is just another Mahrez with no bottle and pace and flatters to deceive 8 times out of ten

City v Spurs this season:

Spurs 6 shots, 4 goals

City 51 shots, 2 goals


Says everything about this game, the game in August and our entire season... our finishing is APPALLING!

Now that is a stat that needs serious attention.

 

[Blu1]

He's off. I didn't want to believe it before now but he's lost them, we're heading for a Pellegrini style implosion here. If you were to pick a few who you'd definitely keep how long would that list be?

This isn't a knee-jerk either, we've played well in fits and spurts for a while but when was the last time you thought we'd go 10-15 unbeaten? Not this season for sure.

I will be amazed if he stays. He’s running the season down as no point going now. It will be by mutual agreement too I think. No way he’s staying 2/3 more years which it will take

Why Jesus and Bernardo are not starting is a fucking mystery. Peps use of his players this season has been shit. Jesus looks sharp as fuck. We scored for fun a couple of weeks back with Jesus aguero and mahrez. So he breaks it up and we haven’t scored in two games now. Play players who are in form. It’s doesn’t have to be this hard.

 

[BlueMoonz1977]

No defending that second half and some of the brain dead decisions made by our players.
Of course we should have buried them and we can point at the missed chances galore - but questions have to be asked of the mentality we have when it comes to shooting. I don’t know who’s to blame but it’s becoming a serious concern.
Playing the perfect game doesn’t fucking exist, we need a bit of steel and grit and we need to put teams to the sword before they score their obligatory goal from their first shot.
I’m fuming by that game. Nobody comes out with much credit.
Concentrate on the cups and the season can still be a success, but the league results are a bitter pill to swallow.

I have highlighted it before, and even though jesus is young he is isnt near kunsfucked (yet)

If we didnt have aguero this season we would be even more fucked

 

[cookster]

He didn't give the ball away frim a corner that was Mahrez.

Can we both admit some bias here? If you are seeing him do what others have done.

I didn't post about Gundagon, I was giving you an explanation why he might be calling him out.

I thought it was Gundagon from the corner so I take that back.

 

[warringtonblue]

He did everything that was positive today, bar the missed penalty.

And a tap in from 5 yards, both would have put us 1-0 up

 

[willipp]

Why would we sell a world class winger when we're already losing one against our will?

He's in bad form. Newsflash: everyone is.

You would think people would have learned not to doubt him by now.

We’d have no side left if we sold everyone not playing well. We need to get rid of the deadwood and freshen things up, but selling a player who’s still young and over the past 2 years has been incredible is just plain right stupid, regardless of whether he’s out of form.

 

[Kenward Garg]

I mean, how did we lose that?

Another penalty miss, another 20 chances missed. This one is on the attackers.

Even with 10 men we were better bar a 5 minute period.

A lot of work to do before Real Madrid.

Good question, It's happened a lot this season. Some would call it luck [or lack of] and some would call it fate. What's interesting is we don't know what tomorrow will bring but with this club and team there always is tomorrow. Carabao Cup final, next round of the FA Cup and the last 16 of the CL.

 

[lazerblue]

Turning a corner into a game changing situation is a new low for us.

You obviously didn't watch us under Alison

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

Before the game i believed i wouldnt be too bothered if we didnt get a result , but the way we lost that game has pissed me off , we played well, controlled the game , created chances and we still managed to lose , Mourinho must be pissing his sides.

 

[The blue phantom]

The celebrations about Sterling being injured were poor, however I'm hoping that's just the matchday thread and emotions.

Are you serious?

 

[scousemanc]

The team should be angry with each other but I’m not sure this group of players self manages in same way we did with Kompany, Toure, Zabs etc.

Really good point

 

[hobbsisablue]

I've not seen the incident yet after the pen but it was shoulder to shoulder for the 2nd yellow. Plus it was Gundagon who caused it not Zinchenko.

Look Zinchenko took him out. Bet you were screaming for Magic to be sent off on Wednesday for a similar incident...I certainly was. The shite corner was taken by Mahrez

 

[cookster]

It was Mahrez who caused it with the shit corner.

I believe so, got that wrong.

 

[thelongbowman]

Tyler and Spitter I fucking hate. The sooner Tyler retires the better. To be actually enjoying the red card and making comment that it was about time a City player was sent off for a professional fouls is outrageous.

And Spitter, brings nothing to the table and his accent and antecedence disgusts me.

 

[Cornish_Blue]

I can’t see Pep being here after the season ends.
We will get knocked out of CL by RM, and that will be it.
CC Final v Villa is a lottery at the moment, even though we beat them comfortably earlier this season, a Cup Final is a different beast.
FA Cup, we will make SF.
There’s far too much wrong with us at the moment.
