Spurs (A) Post Match Thread

[west didsblue]

Too many touches and everyone seems scared to shoot. Would rather pass it sideways and allow defenders to regroup

That’s how I saw it. Sterling desperately needs a goal and we need just a bit of the luck our opponents seem to get nearly every match.

Knocks the rags down a place...

There is that but they will go Spursy next game. (they aren't going to be that lucky again this season)

 

[jimharri]

Everyone still in the dressing room, 35 minutes after the game ended. One or two "points of view" being aired, I'd guess.

I

I am a blue (since the 70’s) but these last two games have pushed me over the edge,should have won both comfortably but somehow lost no doubt Villa will win Carabao cup on penalties

If you have been a blue since the seventies then these last 2 games wouldn't push you over the edge, Frank Clark, Alan ball and losing at home to Stockport should have.
Now, go and watch last season's DVD, that would even cheer a utd fan up...

Bizarre few games this season where absolutely marginal differences would’ve turned the game.. the pen scored, the ref not giving sterling’s pen, two times hitting the woodwork, Mahrez miss. It’s happened too often for it to be a fluke though. Is it psychological or are the new crop of players - mahrez, rodri etc. Just not good enough. I can’t make sense of it.

That's it. Marginal differences. I sensed that in his first season. I'm biased but I'd day its down to what some called "luck" and what some called "fate". It's been such a weird season: No replacement for Kompany, Sane out, the Spurs game and VAR. Laporte out, the Bernardo witch-hunt, Anfield and VAR, Sterling with England, the hacking scandal, the media witch hunt and chance after chance missed and the inverse for the opposition: one chance, one goal.

Kev is even starting to get dragged down by the rest of this team now, if some big team came in for him I can see his head being turned, could be a hectic summer.

Not like you to be positive

 

[AlfGreyruinedmyday]

I don't think it's that. We're still dominating games and creating plenty of chances. We're just not taking them this season.

the problem is finishing nothing more nothing less

We need to employ some ex-player to check that each member of the team has put his boots on the correct feet. Our conversion rate is woeful.

 

[Fordyboy46]

The penalties have now become a psychological problem within this team, there is no other reason for it. No player within the team can suddenly not be able to score a penalty. It's all in their heads, what a shower.

Yep

Suggest that all is not well in the dressing room maybe ?

 

[blueinsa]

Anyone listening to 606, there's a supposed city fan called Gary on making a right twat if himself . Probably a BBC plant knowing those ****s.

Plenty doing the same on here including you so dont sweat it.

 

[fredmont]

Would love to know what Kev said to Gundo at the end there?

Both shaking their heads.

He was saying, 'why the fuck did we start both Silvas on the bench?'
The reply was, 'and Raz on the pitch!'

 

[Fordyboy46]

Not like you to be positive

True though.

 

[city saint]

regarding penaltys just fucking twat the fucking leather thingy in front of you as hard as fucking possible

 

[Blue Theatre]

I'm sure you'll all be much happier when I tell you we comfortably won 3.23 - 0.42 in xG. No?

But good to note that a team with just an "average" forward line would have scored at least 3 today. Sums up our finishing currently.

 

[ancoats]

Slightly worse if anything ... over the 2 games, the aggregate is:

Shots:
Spurs 6-48 City

Goals:
Spurs 4-2 City

Meaning of the 48 chances missed over the two games, Spurs missed 2 and we missed 46 !

Incredible stats that you couldn't make up ?

holy shit ???

how can that be right ?? ok not saying we should be scoring 20 plus goals or anything like that, but forty eight chances and we only score two ?? pep must be burning up inside and going mental

the need for another marque striker is a must in the summer and if i was mbappe i would walk on my hands and sign for city in the morning ?? we have to add firepower and a striker that nets 40 goals a season ??

 

[bavarian blue]

If someone said last week that this weekend we would still be second in the league and in another cup final, would we have taken it.?

 

[pardoeofftomexico]

As soon as I saw Gundogan was going to take the penalty I feared the worst. No reason at all for Aguero not to be taking them.

 

[moon]

Apologies to anyone offended by me suggesting Sterling hamstring means won't see him for a month... Irrespective of my personal views on him as a player.

Purely based on his terrible form and him supposedly being burned out, although Pep is adamant he's not.

Brain fart how it would come across.

Sterling's form has really gone to pot since the Gomez incident.
He was scoring for fun before that.

I honestly think it’s time for Ederson to take them

Good hope pep clears the air and we can kick on from here it needed doing before Madrid

 

[DenisLawBackHeel74]

Too many players doing the bare minimum today. Nowhere near enough clinical football. Extra touches....half a yard short....late tackles...last ditch clearances....it goes on and on.

I hope they enjoy a bit of time off for some much needed rest.

edit: I didn’t like the Bon homie one bit at full time...you’ve just lost you twats
