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

Two posts, two missed sitters by Haaland, this should be at least 4-1 already, but i trust those goals will come in the 2nd half, we have to trust our players.

 

[give it to gordon]

When did Doku turn into Grealish ?

 

[Haaland94]

On another note, Haaland not at it today, IMO.

Ederson and Haaland look like they were at a Xmas party was last night.
Watching Haalands lack of movement when particularly Doku is on the ball means the ball has to pass 5 Spurs defenders to reach him . He literally just stands there . I’m not sure what he’s expecting to happen.?

 

[Paul1970]

How are we not battering them . Hope this doesn’t bite us

 

[daveiw01]

Doku made mistakes but i don't think he should be subbed at all, he's been a constant worry for their defenders, his dribbling and pace will be much needed for the 2nd half.

Exactly, he's caused problems and always ben an outlet, but this is the matchday thread, pretty sure many on here are just WUMs tbh.

We ain’t half missing Johnny boulders

 

[homerdog]

I am his biggest fan.

Judging by your username and your post, that's a massive fib.

 

[Johnny Mars Bar]

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.

Yeah apart from having loads of the ball, making loads of attacking moves and setting up loads of chances, and coming within millimetres of scoring himself he’s been shite.

Sell him. Boooo! Boooooo

FFS another one

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.

We need to rethink how many people we commit forward at corners in particular. So often we lose the ball (was it Foden?) and 5 seconds later it’s in the net with doku of all people being the covering defender! Unreal

 

[dromoreblue]

Dias had a good half.

 

[deano ou812]

Very poor at the back in patches throughout that first half,the number of chances we miss is actually startling,but we are leading and that’s the main thing hopefully bag an early goal second half and just have spurs chasing shadows..

 

[MadchesterCity]

Is it just me from the stands or has Haaland been gash? Very frustrating first half

 

[hertsblue]

Would love to know if we actually practice finishing in training, we are so so wasteful and never seen a team miss so many sitters, 12 shots just 2 on target again and lucky we got an own goal whilst conceeding again the only shot on our goal

 

[super_city_si]

We need to hire somone to label haalands boots before every Game. Hes clearly got them on the wrong feet

 

[Kinkladze's crazy skills]

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 get what you mean with the constant moaning but here's genuine pros to both playing in every game, hopefully at some point we get to see them both of them on this season I'm sure it'd work.

Fishing? :)

 

[daveiw01]

The contrast in Son’s reactions to his two goals is funny.

Always checking himself on the cameras though, either way :P

 

[Fordyboy46]

An OK half but we're nowhere near at our best as we haven't been all season. Lacking any real fluency when attacking and Haaland needs a kick up the arse at half time, I swear he's missed a dozen sitters so far this season
