Spurs (A) - Post-Match Thread

1st half controlled it .... left-back goes AWOL Eddie brainfart 0.1
2nd half controlled it ....right back goes AWOL Eddie brainfart 0.2
75% possession but committed 78% of the fouls WTF
Harry Kane is very very very good at the dark arts ( see also Salah, Mane, Vardy & the whole United Squad)
Mike Dean gives every team we play 5 soft fouls to every one he gives for us.
Wolves away looks about as good as it gets.
Every game seems like a scripted WWE royal rumble and guess which team gets a ladder thrown at it from a great height every week?
If Paul Bearer polishing his Urn was sat next to Jose on the bench would anybody be surprised?
Don’t know why people are always shocked that we concede more fouls with less possession. We are up against low blocks. They are not going to foul very often as they don’t engage us like we try to engage them. If you’re just sitting off and shuffling from side to side, you are rarely fouling. Whereas we try to push up and defend on the front foot. We used to be a lot better at it but we still try it, and therefore foul a lot as we try to force the error rather than wait for it like our opponents do.
 
I thought Kane had a great game tonight
He played really well, Everythinh went through him. Still for the life of me can't see why Rodri wasn't chosen to follow his every move. Kane dropped into midfield time and time again, And for some reason Pep still continued to allow Laporte to be dragged out of position to follow him. Played right into his hands.

He was out thought today.

Didn't anticipate Mourinho parking the bus (which he always does), didn't change it through the match, allowed the above to happen and brought on subs too late.

I think Pep maybe has it too easy at City. There is little pressure from above for him to change things.

Absolute nuts. No idea why he couldn't see this.
 
Well if we hadn`t had FFS in the team we could of played Foden
Yep, sorry we’re at cross purposes. I don’t want to see FFS in a City shirt ever again, I’m struggling to remember a more cowardly so-called forward player for City since Peter Bodak.
Cut inside, shit yourself, abrogate all personal responsibility and pass it sideways/backwards. Rinse/repeat. The very definition of a fair weather, flat track bully
 
Time to drop KDB. Way off the pace. Thought Torres and Jesus were good. Mahrez does not do enough.

We made bad mistakes for the goals and therefore deserved to lose.
 
We need some new characters. A bit of aggression, some anger, some passion. Too many shruggers or moany cnuts out there. Laporte, cancelo, bernado, Jesus, Rodri & kdb all just moan too themselves or the ref. Mahrez is a shrugger, he doesn't care, couldn't give 2 fcuks. Another shit pass by him led to their 2nd. How many goals have we conceded this season down to a lazy, over ambitious pass or shot leading to a counter attack by him. Does he say sorry, nope, does anyone bollock him, nope. Why does no one grip Eddie and say calm the fuck down. Dias and walker are genuinely the only ones who seem to be passionate. This is why Foden is needed, he cares. We've lost vinny, d.silva, hart, Delph, lescot, edin, tevez, yaya, zaba and others. Some don't have nowhere near the talent as current players but they had passion and drive. Could Doyle + passion be worse than gundo? What about delap + youthfull fearlessness, any worse than torres/sterling upfront and mahrez pondering around on the wing improving his YouTube compilations? Kdb is bollocksed play bernado/doyle and foden. Or at least bring subs on before 70 mins. Delap, palmer, doyle, braaf all look like they can help out, even add something different, use them ffs. We need 2 characters/big personalities bringing in. A zaba/tevez type, a true warrior leading by example, running through brick walls bandaged up. Also a vinny/delph type verbal leader. Dias maybe this player but we need more. Who do the players look too on the pitch too organise and gee up. Someone to tell mahrez to play it simple, tell rodri to play it forward faster, tell Phil to breathe and dictate play, organise the defensive line (drop if needed). We have talent, we have a great squad minus 1 mobile cdm and 1 1st team lb. Every other position we have 2 class players in each slot and a quality youth player backing them up. Let's face it, Phil would start in most prem teams. Doyle, tosin & delap would get plenty of 1st team minutes in bottom half clubs. Palmer, thb, f.nmecha and braaf would get time off the bench. They can do a job for us, some would add a different skill set than what we have. If not at least we get a bigger fee for them. Anyway, fcuk messi I want a lb, jay dasilva, Douglas Luiz, Marcos thuram and haaland. Mendy, gundogan, zinchenko, mahrez out and I'd happily swap bernado for aouar. Love bernado but he's not what we need. We need a player to dictate the pace of the game. Phil and Tommy aren't there yet!!!
Have you never heard of paragraphs
 
I thought Kane had a great game tonight

yep. Turning into the ideal Mourinho system player. They are definitely dark horses. When the world is on its knees with darkness and uncertainty and a sense of an unjust season would be the ideal time for the so called ‘special one’ to jump back into the lime light.. almost like it’s written. Football loses. Mourinho wins.

Yeah he didn't think mahrez and kev could be so shite or that Dean would be spurs best player
 
Hate to say this, and having not read all this thread I am seriously beginning to think if Maureen was our manager we would have won the Champions League by now. Strike me down if you want ....
 
Tonight is when I am really missing not having fans at the games. I've ranted and had a pop on here but I love this club. I just want to stand there and roar non stop love and support from the stands down to the players and Pep. Like we used to in the old days when we really were shit. You are my City, City till I die, blue moon, Pep's blue and white army, over and over. It's needed now and I actually remember the players of old looking up at us in amazement as we sang and sang in our darkest hours.

What ....Are you for real about Rodri being put on Kane and follow him?

Did you not see rodri trying to race after kane for their 2nd goal, but looked like he was trapped in cement.

Rodri is nowhere near good enough and tonight was another example of why he is nit good enough.
