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

[cookster]

Who turn up twice a season - 4 times if we come across them in the CL!!

Nowt to do with Spurs. Incompetence from the players and manager.

 

[TFC]

Tbf they are pressing well and are bullying us into making mistakes and conceding possession.

Exactly this. We are wilting under the pressure.

 

[wattle]

Some if you need to get behind the lads and stop talking shite!

It’s no better in the ground

 

[Macca77macca]

There was way, way to much over confidence in the pre match thread.

Based on one games, beating Wolves.

 

[GornikDaze]

Trafford’s career finished after a game and a half.

Our season finished after a game and a half.

Top 4 and a cup hopefully.

Every bit of optimism from last week down the fucking swanny.

I admire your optimism, but we’ve got no chance of a cup ;)

 

[eyalluvitt]

Death, taxes and getting dry bummed by Spurs at home

 

[Gibblue]

Trafford obviously at fault but he is new in a team and a more senior player is clearly telling him to give him the ball. He'll learn a lesson from it

 

[Blue-Ghana]

Midfield of Nico, Reijnders and Cherki was far too adventurous.

Cherki has hardly been involved this half, so has Rejinders

 

[spiny]

Lack of playing time together showing.

 

[Gorbachev]

Dare I say it, but we missed Bernardo in midfield in that half, let alone Rodri.

Nowhere near enough big players in that team, we need leaders.

 

[Dax777]

I'm laughing harder than Phil before halftime at people saying we get something from this.... wish I had that kind of blind optimism. Sure, we've been the better team but its the same shit as last season; miss easy chances nd conceded every shot on target. Maddening.

They've been the better team. They've played their game while we've struggled with ours

 

[madloaf]

There's also a problem with our manager and has been for 12 months now.

18 months. But don't say anything.

 

[Brewster's millions]

Or get a keeper who is good with his feet.

A couple of minutes until half time, they shouldn’t be tapping it around in our box, particularly given how well Frank has got Spurs pressing.

Just asking for it.

 

[remember arthur mann]

Put a defender on for goodness sake. Khusanov.

 

[Stato]

Nobody warming up at half time so I think it will be the same 11 at the start

 

[Gumzy97]

Thomas Frank game plan is working. He’s a decent manager. Nullified our midfield

 

[simon23]

You can just boot it into throw in. Its his fault. Lets not excuse a bad decision.

The high line again. It’s totally unacceptable and will costs us goals and games time after time. Credit spurs though they’ve grafted hard.

Yup..everyone laughed at spurs for it last year. ....suicidal with our slow back line and our defenders are not good 1vs 1 we had kyle walker who could.. but since then no one....

 

[dublinblue12]

2 avoidable mistakes, we can back into I think though, get rodri on if he's fit

 

[baggy]

This team are light years behind previous teams,it’s a hard watch ..

This. I know it's going to take a while to gel and find out best 11 but this team at full strength is light years behind what we've had in the last 10 years

 

[Zenmanc]

Marmoush a step off. Reijnman seems to be gripping too hard... have to be better at the back.
