Spurs (H) - Post-Match Thread

[Sir peace frog]

Fucking love bluemoon, one defeat and everyone's insecurities come pouring out, without looking all the players performance threads will be busy calling everyone shit, see a thread saying we may be the new bottlers, unbelievable, god bless bluemoon

 

[SWPISHOME]

Going to be piss funny when we lift the title again especially all the dippers getting giddy today. They have hope now of winning the league and will make it even sweeter when we win it. Scouse bastards.

 

[chickaroon]

just hoping off field antics/influences are not contributing to this, seen this so many times with young promising players, he's played off his usual standards for a fair few games now..

Needs to stay away from Grealish.

 

[manimanc]

Everton away next week, anyone who fell into the trap of believing the media hype about us running away with it fell into the same trap as our team

I don't think any of us fell into it apart from the bitter cunts in the press who was relentless in telling everyone we've ruined the league by winning games of football.
The same ones accusing us are now sat with their cocks out in a full scouse kit and looking at a photo of bingo.

 

[city2]

Kane wanted to prove today why we should have signed, also I’m more pissed off that sky use spit for our commentary games they don’t use ex city players when the scouse or rags play it shows a total disrespect to our club and fans.

 

[Bluemoon has risen]

A very strange performance. So many players way off their game a d defensively I had my head in my hands watching it.

Apart from Sterling (strange he was subbed off IMO), Walker and Gundagon nobody can really say they were near their best today. I suspect we may see Stones getting a go next week after such a poor defensive show today.

Hopefully it's the kick in the arse that the players need. Keep the faith though, this team has handled the pressure in the past and will bounce back.

 

[Dribble]

Back 4 awful but tonight shows if Rodders isn’t at it we are vulnerable. CF and back up cm required. Foden been gash since he became Grealish wingman. The hyperbole around kane was laughable

That's another thing I noticed. Rodders has been mostly ineffective for the last few weeks. Today he showed little urgency & failed to impose himself on the game & protect the back 4...

 

[Baggins.mcfc]

Defence was all over the place
Spurs only had about 6 attacks ffs
Scored 3 and had one disallowed

A performance to forget

spurs will go to Anfield and roll over and have their tummies tickled

I would rather play like us and lose the odd game than be as boring and as negative as fuck as them cockney cunts.

 

[hilts]

Cancello May be a better footballer than zinny but we are a better team and more balanced with him playing at left back.

Spurs well done. Please sign son.

Cancelo is a midfielder end of but we are heavy in that dept. DM aside

 

[wolviedinho]

Very spursy performance that.

They are utter wank but pep was totally out thought by conte........at least it makes the title race interesting again

Out thought?

The midfield and defence did not turn up today. Pep is guilty of playing a few players in the wrong position. He also should have adjusted at half time. Unfortunately he did not and the non existent midfield caused the whole shitshow.

 

[Eoiyflem]

If Liverpool beat Leeds in their next match, our lead will be 5 pts according to my scientific calculations. Everything still in our hands.

Go and have another look at the table.

 

[LongsightM13]

Dias and Laporte taken for walks again by Kane.

We played too many offensive players high up the pitch and the result was exposing Rodri to his worst ever showing in a City shirt.

Gundo was the only one of merit.

Pep thoroughly outcoached by Conte tonight, sadly

 

[M Gaudino]

felt like the united 2-3 game; could see the opposition goals coming a mile off but the defenders didnt seem to be able
to adjust.

disaappointed in the midfield defensively, very few working back to pick up the loose balls.

 

[eyalluvitt]

Scousers have a game in hand probably 3 points, game on

If they drop points v Leeds I can dose down my Valium

 

[madloaf]

Scousers have a game in hand probably 3 points, game on

Yep, but it's 6 pts right now. I understand why people do this but they have to win the game... And remember god is a city fan.... Maybe the wind will blow again

 

[franksinatra]

True. It’s the risk we play with and has proved very effective. Unfortunately that strategy will come undone. Today another team took their chances. Certain players played in the wrong role only makes the game harder. Bernie beside Rodri and stones with Dias. Making so many changes impacts the players. Foden on the right was non existent.

That is the nature of football, you cannot counter every threat and when you’re not quite at it, and the opposition take their chances you get a bloody nose.

Pep always make those changes and I know what you are saying but Phil has not ripped up any trees for a while and I supppse with the improved form of Sterling it was one of the only positions to shoe horn him back in the side.

 

[WickyWain]

I don't agree that I was wrong - it was you that said I was simple and swore. The threats are unnecessary, what you're going through is not relevant to any discussions on this forum. I won't bother you again...

You're literally arguing against a fact though, if you still think you're right then explain to me how. Secondly, I didn't swear at you, you told me to fuck off. Bit of a difference. Lastly, you telling me to fuck off isn't relevant to any discussion either and once again you wouldn't be saying it if you weren't behind the comfort of your keyboard.

 

[Blu1]

Not sure how we lost that.

disappointed with peps tactics all game more than any thing. We knew their game plan but did nothing to stop it. I hope we are ready for Utd & Liverpool as it will be the same style.

a wise fern was needed in that 2nd half & im sure stones knows Kane better than anybody so he should defo be on.

Kev, Rodri, cancello, laporte & foden awful all game.

foden does not work as a false 9 play delap.

we roll on blues and it’s still in our hands & this might be the kick up the ass we need

 

[waspish]

Anything could happen now

a few weeks ago we were 15 points clear and 80 to 1 on to win the league

it could go either way now

it’s stating to look like the match v the dippers could be a title decider.. just how the PL and sky wanted it

So team who have games in hand don’t count! Chelsea had 2 Liverpool had 3

 

[Double R]

That game was all about the quality in the final third. Credit where its due, Kane was outstanding, one of the best individual performances I have seen against us. And once again Son did some serious damage with two assists.
Where as in their final third, apart from Gundogan we offered nothing. They put two crosses in, both quality that resulted in two goals, where as we continued with putting in one after the other that they just hoovered up.
I love Cancelo, but the fact he has more shots on goal than any other of our players is quite telling. I dont think thats a good thing at all. And the amount of space that we gave them on our left was alarming from the first 5 minutes, and in the end cost us a point. We were given a warning with that dissalowed goal and was punished in the end.
