Match Thread | Spurs vs Man City (21/11/20)

[Mr HJ]

What does Mahrez offer ? I just don’t get it

Perhaps those who were critical of us saying he's poor can actually come on here and defend his performance during this first half - he offers nothing.

 

[Keeper!]

This team misses Aguero and David Silva.

add, yaya, zabba, captain and Sane

 

[Blu1]

Why on earth have Torres & Mahrez not switched for a bit just to mix it up. It’s all to predictable

 

[the plasterer]

Love to know what Mahrez has on Guardiola, must be some video

 

[Afterthefact]

Rodri’s passes around the 18 are useless

 

[ninjamonkey]

What’s the plan going forward here? There’s just no threat unless somebody comes up with something magic. It’s a far cry from the Pep team that valued the team passing plays over the individual. Move it quicker, much quicker and some movement would be a good idea.

 

[Bluemoonie92]

Walker is doing mahrez's job ffs

 

[Esteban de la Sexface]

We're as impotent as we were in Pellers last few months

 

[Dr Jacoby]

We can’t play against the 9-1-0.

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

Kane in the left back position, almost. Just fuck off.

 

[Beanhead]

For everyone slagging of Raz this past 2 weeks.. my god we need him today.. no runs in behind.

 

[come-on-barney]

Bernardo has had one season unfortunately, and looks no closer to recapturing that form.

 

[mikemcfc]

Phil for Mahrez - don't mess about Pep. Do it now before it's too late

watch, Phil for Bernardo 78th min.

 

[Keeper!]

Rodri’s passes around the 18 are useless

not his job, KDB and Bernardo, not doing enough

 

[nellyonthewing]

If we were any slower we'd set.

 

[paulchapo]

Yep, yet we continue to make the sane mistakes.

Although individual mistakes cost us it's down to Pep. He's the manager and he now needs to come up with a solution. We lost nine times in the league last year, Arsenal beat us in the fa cup, Lyon schooled us in the champions league and even the worst rag team since they were relegated in 1974 beat us three times. This season has started even worse than the last.

 

[stan bowles]

Any day better than just passing backwards or setting up opposition for counter attack.

If you say so. Personally I'd bin off Silva to the bench until he starts doing something. Been shite for over a year now but for some reason people with blinkers on like you refuse to see it.

 

[BlueMoonz1977]

There we go KDB trying a 30 yarder says it all

No space to work in and a lack of creativity and movement

Rodri is having a decent game, got back and stopped them scoring a certain second. Kev is working so hard trying to find pockets of space and make up for the lack of work from FFS. They are terrible to watch - typical Maureen team.

It’s the things Rodri doesn’t do that makes him not good enough. He does good things, he’s a good player, but not good enough.

Far too often he just stands still and allows the opposition midfield to stand in gaps where we can’t pass through the midfield. The pass doesn’t have to be to Rodri, it’s the space he doesn’t create by not moving midfielders around with constant movement that means we can’t pass through to our attacking mids from defence.

Also, when he gets the ball, nothing major ever happens.

We are Germany 2018.
