Match Thread | Man City vs. Tottenham (03/12/23)

Doku tiring at alarming rate during games. no way he can do 90 mins.

What do you expect when he gets the ball and runs at people every single time he has it

Has the most take ons known to man, but conversion rate us poor and to be honest I find him very frustrating to watch

 

[Damanino]

should 3 goals between the teams, 1 fucking shot on target = 1 goal for them. fucking unreal how many times this happens or we let this happen.

if Son doesnt help us it would be 1-1 which is sick based on the chances.

unlucky on hitting the post 2x times, Haaland had fair chances to score and he couldnt even get it on target.

dont trust our defence to keep them out even if they have 1 shot total in second half. so we need more goals simple.

 

[Zenmanc]

Far be it me to criticize but if Erling simply would take half a touch instead of hammering one timers... we'd have 2 more goals today and he'd have a dozen more goals this season. Both today he had the space to think and place vs. brutally smash a one timer.

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

Once again a very easy and sloppy goal to give away.

After that, played some lovely stuff.

Should be 4 easy. Great efforts from Doku and Alvarez. Just unlucky.

Doku gone off the boil a bit in last 10/15. Making the wrong decisions.

Haaland should have scored that chance.

 

[Eric Hitchmough]

South Stand trying extremely hard. Rest of the stadium needs to chip in.

 

[Don Karleone]

This thread is fucking wild.

I’m at the match and Doku has been pretty mint for the most part.

Some proper freaks in here.

Definitely not as bad as some are making out but not at his best yet.

 

[OrigamiNinja]

I dont think we have taken the most of that half. Spurs are shit and seemingly suicidal.

It needs more urgency from certain players. Bernie looks like he’s playing on the beach. Doku will never see more ball in a game than he has today and he’s been pretty poor with it overall.

We should win this comfortably but they do look a threat on the quick break.

 

[CityFan1970]

Dias, Walker, Rodri, Akanji all excellent. Doku getting a lot of the ball, but ineffective apart from his shot when he was unlucky not to score.

 

[Dr Jacoby]

He is spoiling every attack. So indecisive.

He’s not been at his best but did play a pivotal role in our second goal and struck the bar.

 

[TrentGrisham]

Do you take Rodri off or risk him on a yellow? I worry subbing Doku would hurt his confidence but I think Grealish would be helpful. Would love to see Lewis come on.

 

[ShedDweller]

Doku started really well but has running into brick walls the last 25 minutes

Doku is good but is looking a bit Beagrie at times… to keen to take the dead end route when an early pass opens things up. Plus most of Spurs opportunities to break are coming from him turning over the ball.

I’d give Jack the 2nd half in that position.

 

[Big_Alan]

Get Haaland off and get Bobb on...sorry thought I'd join in ...

 

[Silva&Silva]

The game should be dead and buried but I'll take that.

Very rarely we go into HT winning and still feeling proper hard done by yet here we are.

 

[Keeper!]

Agreed. Ineffective and loses the ball too much today. Not helping out defensively as well, and largely at fault for their goal. I am his biggest fan, but Jack should start against the so called bigger teams.

Spurs a big team, you should try harder ;)

 

[01cravend]

Best 45min Julians played in a while.. created 6 chances, assisted 1, hit the post

 

[Chak19]

We better win this one, that's all.

 

[whipper]

Match day thread is always full of surprises :)

 

[Keeper!]

We better win this one, that's all.

anything other than 3 points would be a huge blow

 

[Gabriel]

Entertaining game but we could improve so much.

 

[pudge]

When Gresalish starts the thread is full of moaners moaning about all sorts and saying Doku would be perfect for this game.

Fuck off

I'll tell you what though, if that was Grealish nobody would be laughing at those wanting a change at half time

I reckon at the pace he moved in that first half, Doku might have reached the centre circle by now heading to the dressing room.
