Match Thread | Manchester City vs. Tottenham (23/08/25)

[Gumzy97]

We were worse than relegation teams last season for conceding on transitions. Seems like nothings changed.

 

[dubblue]

That was abysmal

 

[jimharri]

Well; that was a shit 45 minutes.

 

[ScottSinclair]

Haaland contributing his bit, lobbing it over.

He created an easy goal for Marmoush though

 

[Tolmie scores]

Big overreaction. The players simply haven’t played well

We are always like rabbits in a head light v pressing teams.. spurs have wrapped round our defence today as Dias and Aki need at least one or two extra touches to get their shape right for a pass.... dream for quick closers like spurs..Liverpool...Utd when we play 'em. Sadly with our defence now i can see us losing a good few times this season ..again
..ahh well

 

[Don Karleone]

At least Erling looks like he gives a shit, the rest haven't.

 

[madloaf]

Why cant Haaland head a ball?

He's been gash, slow, weak and now missed a sitter

I mean. You're being a little ridiculous. But then, I feel your pain overall.

 

[Gobshiight]

Still think we'll get a result from this

Usual issue of being on top then being rattled by a goal. Two avoidable mistakes cost us

Also think we're lacking a bit of leadership in the middle... I'd stick Bernardo on for Cherki at half time

 

[Alexia_Ko]

We've bought a keeper from the championship and players that are alright when we're on top.... And still no fucking right back

Not true that. Reijnders, Ait nouri and Cherki were brought to better our play. Offensively we haven’t got going but it’s our English contingent that have screwed us over today

 

[Mattyc55]

Appalling performance bullied all over the park by an average side

 

[Draikin]

Don't understand why Lewis is moving into midfield before we get the ball out of defence. Makes us very narrow and easy to press against.

 

[SamBlue]

I am not superstitious, I don't believe in supernatural, but there is something out there, it is just incredible how bad we always turn against this lot.

And with Frank + Spurs, it is just a lethal combo for us.

 

[Mazzarelli's Swiss Cheese]

Fuck

 

[Silva&Silva]

Fucking disgusting

 

[handsofstone]

Maybe we should just stop fucking about at the back from goal kicks?

This, if we cant play it out play it long

Lose so many goals from fucking it about at the back

 

[mancityscot]

Well. Safe to say we all had way higher expectations than this today.

Yep, on paper great attacking side. Defence is just so weak

 

[bluealf]

Not sure how that's Trafford's fault, playing him the ball on his line with three Tottenham players sprinting at him is fucking suicide

tbf he should have just put his foot through it and then said to Pep at half time, it was to risky to piss about with it the way you like it but the fear of doing that and not doing what Pep likes means he made a daft pass.

Though the pass to him should never have been made.

 

[bitterblue78]

Same as last season. Half decent side picks us to pieces. Total shit

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

Absolute crap after 25 mins. Trafford hopeless. He cannot be our number one.

Same as last season that. No difference.

 

[SamTheGuru]

No words.
