Spurs (H) - Post-Match Thread

[blueballs84]

Walker and his brain farts what the feck was that ball all about pep was livid.

Walker has never really had a brain though. It's one of those things you get as part of the package.

The worst thing that could happen from today is we decide to go balls deep for Kane again and drop interest in Haaland.

forget this performance.. as he has not been playing like this much these past 6 months.

The annoying thing is Spurs weren't even good today, we outplayed them even though we were well below our normal standards... Yet Spurs probably deserved to win simply because of taking their chances. Very weird match when you think about it.

Every goal they scored felt like a smash and grab... but they did that 3 times. Probably says more about how sloppy our defending was today.

Scoring a third after we score in the 92min is just unbelievably poor. Incredible that a team as good as ours has allowed that to happen.

I genuinely think that will be the last PL game we lose this season.

I think you may be wrong there mate.

 

[Coatigan]

Bottle jobs, first bit of pressure and test of their character this season and they wilted. Bizarre lack of subs

What's bizarre about it? pretty much Pep's thing. I'm more surprised ehen he does make subs, more often when the game has been won than when it needs won.

Bernardo’s form has fallen off a cliff and before all the haters weigh in, I fucking love the bloke. Foden awful too. Nobody should be immune to criticism.

Bernardo who just played out of skin on tuesday?
one part of the reaosn we lost today is becuase pep put all his mids in and decided to move his best one to the false 9 position. total waste of our best player this season.

 

[SWPISHOME]

Said earlier, kane does it EVERY time we play them. My biggest surprise if pep hasnt figured out how to nullify it.

I said the exact same, When is he going to figure out that the ball goes from the centre half into midfield to Kane on the half turn and ball into Son...They've dome it for 4/5 years against us now and still to this day we let them do it again. Absolutely shocking.

 

[ancoats]

They will, problem is they will miss their chances. They did hold them to a draw earlier in the season at least.

Liverpool also sadly has one player that is a lot better goalscorer in the box than any of our lot. Which is our undoing the rare times we struggld

am taking about spurs work rate and defending like its your life is on the line ? its not going to happen vs liverpool
plus if spurs players grab any liverpool player at corners its going to be a stone wall pen

 

[Petetheblu]

It’s the clueless high balls which were driving me mad. Delap is 6 foot 3. He should have definitely been brought on.

If that's our tactic at least bring put someone tall in the box.

 

[bluemc1]

We have the harder run in, after that shables today I am not at all confident.

couple of our title wins there’s been a loss where we’ve thought “ well it’s over we won’t win it “

so much can still happen

 

[Dribble]

A bad day at the office. Got done on the break 3 times & many opposition fans are just loving it.

I was surprised Mahrez was on the bench. Foden hasn't been in good form since his bromance with Grealish & for me today he was anonymous. We should have brought Mahrez on at 60 mins, but I was shocked to see Sterling go off & not the mostly ineffective Foden! WTF! :-|

There were always gonna be days like today where we dominated every aspect of the game apart from the most important, goals scored. Kane put in a great interview for our striker slot, & showed the importance of having a clinical striker, who can drop deep, create & is lethal in front of goal.

My Spurs supporting kin in London are acting like they couldn't care less if they won another match this season. This is the match they wanted to win, so fair play to them. They defended deep with 7 men & played like their lives depended on this result & played excellent counter-attacking football which kept causing us grief at the back. They also had 7 days to prepare, when we had an away match in the CL, & a hairy plane journey home, so in terms of preparedness, they held the advantage.

Foden needs a rest & needs to rediscover the zest he had earlier in the season. He's young & will learn from matches like today, but I believe he needs to be taken out of the firing line for a couple of games. In his defence, he's been played out of position, but mostly done well when needed.

Anyway, Fuck it. We pick ourselves up. Analyse what went wrong on Monday, fix it & we kick on & go again. Fuckin gutted though... :-(

 

[mat]

We've got the loss out the way.

Win every match now.

 

[Eccles Blue]

The Boys inBlue didn’t give in. They fought to the end. We didn’t exactly show’em but we didn’t give in. Thank you City. Thank you lads. I am going to say thank you fans because the ones round me really joined in today but I shouted for the South stand to sing quite a few times. They were very quiet today!

We needed Stones and Diaz today.

However, on the bright side, we are still Champions of England and still will be next season! :-)

 

[Fordyboy46]

Would love if it Leeds beat the dippers this week.
We just need to start again and get a run going

No chance mate, Liverpool's squad suddenly looks deeper than ours. Jota and Firmino missing today, but they still had a front three of Diaz, Mane, and Salah. Liverpool won't drop many more points this season

 

[phargrave]

I worry for foden who is billy big balls yet not done much.today he was none existent and he should of been hauled off before Sterling

Too many nights out with Grealish

 

[robbieh]

Didn't Laporte have a nightmare against Spurs in the CL game?

 

[homerdog]

He absolutely was. And any one saying different doesnt know whats going on

He was superb.

 

[cookster]

Walker and his brain farts what the feck was that ball all about pep was livid.

At least he saved us a couple of times on the counter. Cancelo offered nothing defensively.

 

[give it to gordon]

The team looked how I was feeling about this game !
Its bloody spurs and we never beat them.
I wasnt confident before ko and never thought the game.

Kean and Son always do us no matter who there manager is.

As someone told me counter attacking isnt parking the bus. So what is City having 90% procession and spurs having all the players behind the ball ?

We had no room to move. They plan was simple who every gets the ball in the middle hit it long to Son and Kean and City couldnt stop it

 

[Fat Freddy's Cat]

Words fail me after that, so amateurish all round and if Pep comes out and defends that performance I'll be livid. We never got a grip of that tonight, our defence were non existent as was Ederson, a static midfield who have nobody in front of them to pass to, and no striker because of the fuck up in the summer window. Motm, couldn't honestly pick one, fours and fives all round tonight.

Not sure what Eddie did to piss you off?
