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

[rodrizontal]

Online City fans are so dense. They disrespect a player like Bernardo because he doesn't do 10 dribbles every game. If you can't see what a player like Bernardo does for the team, you're an idiot.

Get the wet wipes out, some fannies need wiping.

 

[nickamon]

Can someone tell me why we keep letting the ball bounce?! As defender, you have to take the ball in the air or w/ the bounce, it is 50-50. It happened like 3-4 times and it was driving me nuts!

Some soft fuckers in here.

the classic "fanny wipes" post....

 

[Dax777]

This lot were 2-0 up and cruising after 85 minutes against an undercooked PSG so no need for fanny-wipery just yet.

That's how we should know they are a tough opponent. PSG got lucky. Spurs were better most of the game

 

[stan bowles]

Don't think I have it in me right now to watch 45 mins of Doku's side jigging, getting a metre on his man and ultimately finding no one

Can't leave Marmoush out there. He's been terrible. Move him inside and take Cherki off.

 

[Saddleworth2]

Cherki and Reijnders now know the intensity required against a good well coached PL team. Nothing being built from the back at all. This is a bump in the road for a young team that will get better.

 

[Jimmieblue]

They’ll come out fighting, can’t wait for this half.

 

[MCFC1993]

We've had more big chances than they have despite being shite.

And their 2 goals were mistakes.

The finishing has to get better.

 

[malg]

Everyone back down to earth? Far too much positivity on the pre match thread.

 

[Aba452]

Poor so far against Brentford lite, second one's all on Trafford unfortunately. Hope Pep reads em the riot act, fucking embarrassing .

 

[WorthlessPoster]

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

He created that must-score chance for Marmoush as well.

 

[citytill1die84]

Spurs ain't even that good or playing well that's the frustrating part.

 

[Blue-Ghana]

if we are gonna play out from back, then maybe not sign Donnarumma

 

[Jason]

I can’t put my finger on it but we lack composure.

The training system/tactics is not making it to the pitch.

Think we have to accept we ain’t very good. Certainly no where near the previous levels.

Defo need another keeper and RB.

No Ieader we need Bernardo on for Cherki

 

[Chak19]

When will Pep realise that you can't play this high line with Lewis, Dias and Stones ? you might get away with it if you have a dominant midfield to control the ball but we don't, shocking first half.

Are you online?

 

[christened at st marks]

Crying out for Rodri if he was fit, Nico G Reinders and Cherki are too slow for the Prem at the moment and Erl is a fuckin hopeless target man so why the fuckin hell play the ball to him with his back to goal, tactics from 1 of the Peps is dogshit.

 

[wattle]

I bet all those wanting Eddie out have been quiet today

 

[lionheart]

Interesting that our defence has fallen to pieces ever since Ait-Nouri went off. Will be glad to see Gvardiol back.
