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

[Uncle Wally One Ball]

I really want Rodri to succeed but my god does he need to learn to kick a fucking football forwards. I have hope we can still win this but it’s not a good indicator of things to come

He has been having a good game I think

 

[Heath Park]

The rule is if it hits his sleeve it’s not handball, below the sleeve it is.

Is this clear and obvious to you, this is the same view that bald **** looked at on the monitor;

Thanks.
That makes me feel a lot better.
Sooo frustrating this.

1 shot in the entire games. Embarrassing.

 

[Beanhead]

Because we have lost all of our creativity when we lost david silva. He was creating lots of pockets and smart passes that open up the parked busses around.there is no one near him in our squad. Just watch RCD this season and you will understand. They Are top of la liga thanks to silva.

We won the title with Dave doing little of note In 2018/19

Going to buck the trend on this exceptionally negative thread. Thought we played well that first half, a defensive misjudgement from Laporte just allowing the space in behind him has unfortunately cost us And we don’t deserve to be behind.

Still lacking real incision in the attacking third, but for me we have looked more dangerous which offers me plenty of hope for the second half to turn this around. Subs could really influence this game for us, Sterling, Aguero and Foden.

Agreed. Thought Kyle was a bit sloppy with his passing and Spurs pressed very aggressively in the midfield, largely nullifying KDB and BS. Good game but we find it much easier to concede than score, still.

 

[wolviedinho]

All the attacking midfielders are rubbish. Bernie, Kev, mahrez, Torres have not created one clear goal scoring chance. We just run into a packed defence because we are so slow transitioning from back to front. No idea what the hell has got into these attacking players.

 

[Keeper!]

The defenders are still poor. Too many individual mistakes that are unacceptable for a team looking to win the league.

Nothing to do with individuals, it's the system they are told to play, defenders in a Pep team are hung out to dry

 

[Paul1970]

Not just Mahrez being shit.

B.Silva doing fuck all
KDB not doing much
Torres fuck all

But let's blame it all on Mahrez

He has been shocking and so ball greedy it’s unreal. Yes the others have been poor but this guy does it week in week out

 

[Blu1]

Serious question but can anybody really see a reason why Mahrez is starting ahead of Foden?

It’s crazy foden just scores 2 for England his confidence is flying & he’s on the bench

 

[Esteban de la Sexface]

I’d like to see changes at half time, not when the games beyond us. Foden starts over Mahrez all day for me.

Or sterling. Or anyone

 

[dronefromsector7G]

So predictable. Spurs as usual scoring with their only chance against us. Need Phil on and soon

 

[Grafton Street]

A ref from Birkenhead ( a place where everyone is full of shite about how they aren't Scouse but still follow either Everton or Liverpool) shouldn't be reffing top 6 games.

Goal should have stood.

 

[Feed the Elk]

So a minimum of 2 minutes injury time just happens to be exactly 2 minutes, funny how that always seems to be case when we are attacking but never when we are defending.

Plus the 35 seconds they took to take their throw which was given to them bang on 45 minutes

 

[CWMCFC]

Mahrez is such a black sheep in this team.

As I find myself saying match after match when he’s starting, he’s a super sub when we need a moment of magic and nothing more for us.

He’s detriment to the way we play and I find it baffling that Pep puts up with it when he’s not even producing goals/assists this season like he did last year.

The fact Foden’s on the bench for him just continues to make the situation even more infuriating.

 

[Metalartin]

If City had snatched an early goal and sat on it like Spurs have, Sky would be half asleep at half time. They're all giddy now like it's been a great half.

 

[NI Blue]

Phil to pull us out of the shit again

Dont panic he will get his chance on 87 minutes

 

[Deleted member 77198]

Spurs are lucky to be ahead.

How? They’ve defended well and punished us when we fell asleep.

We’ve had ten shots but in reality have created absolutely fuck all of any real threat.

There’s no such thing as luck, and there’s no such thing as not deserving a lead/win. When you take your chances and the other team doesn’t, it doesn’t matter how much possession or how many chances any team has had; the team that takes their chances deserves the lead/win.

 

[FantasyIreland]

Nothing to do with individuals, it's the system they are told to play, defenders in a Pep team are hung out to dry

Spot on,our centre halves are left so exposed.

 

[stan bowles]

Fucking rubbish, toothless. Get Mahrez off

And Bernardo too

 

[lancs blue]

Same as Bernardo offers then ? Nothing.

They'd both be subbed for me, totally anonymous.

 

[Fordyboy46]

65 minutes Aguero will come on for jesus. 75 minutes Foden will come on for Mahrez.

Gundogan is coming on first, a tenner on it
