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

[bluethai]

I can see why Pep wants Donnarumma and Rodrygo.

 

[Lowtower]

Some moron booing around me

 

[Lord Blue]

keep Trafford on, give him the opportunity

 

[Kadour75]

We were 2-0 down at half time in the treble season. Omens an all that.

At that time we had Mahrez to turn it around in second half.

 

[johnny crossan]

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

Spurs are a difficult team to dominate - they get nasty and are actually quite good when on top. A goal for us will change the atmosphere dramatically.

 

[madloaf]

We have a similar problem to last season Dias and stones having too much of the ball when going forward..

Frank has looked at wolves and allowing us to counter attack and thought no fucking chance. He's out coached pep so far.

 

[DD93]

What make me angry, some delusional posters here...

Ederson - our best ever keeper, iconic player, part of so many title-winning teams and that shit Ortega or this championship level kid had one or two decent games and suddenly - "they are better than Ederson", "who the hell is Ederson" and posts like that...

Unless you learn to respect truly great players who provided quality performances over years and stop idolising this local kids for one or two above average games, you will always be in this state, when expectations are different than reality.

Reality is simple, you have to admit that certain player isn't up to level and standards...

 

[Leroy Leroy Leroy]

Please please stop the offside trap

 

[El Ingeniero de Noruega]

Peps style of play is well known now how to handle by all team. Different before when team didnt know how to p,ayvagainstvus but now they have all flund a medicine againstbus. Time to change tactics Pep.

 

[Dawsenna]

Nico has to give his head a wobble he’s showing for the ball but nothing in his body language or body position shows the he is ready or even confident to fucking receive it

 

[ZoneMCRR6]

No Ieader we need Bernardo on for Cherki

That's not good for the kids confidence. This will take time, it's a process developing the cohesion

 

[the-ecstacy-of-eight]

Cherki's not able to pull the strings yet, bit too maverick with his dribbling and passing, but he'll come good.

Today though, get him off and get Bernardo on, I wouldn't be surprised if Rodri for Nico happens too.

Too wasteful in front of goal as well, could/should have had 2 or 3 ourselves today too.

Come on City!

 

[ProofMCFC]

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

That pass was definitely not on though. Trafford is the one that can see the full picture and any professional footballer should have seen it wasn’t on.

 

[waspish]

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

Spurs keeping to there game plan all game pressing been brilliant as always under Frank! When they know how a team is going to play they can work all week to perfect it! We got a very young team and new players! It’s probably one of the worse first home games we could of had.. let’s hope we get first goal second half then you never know

 

[Axel Freed]

Haven’t been watching, maybe we’ve been unlucky ?

However big picture it’s a case of pay peanuts get monkeys. Get the chequebook out Khaldoon if we still have one. Haven’t bought a big money player since Jack 4 years ago

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

Dias has been atrocious. Cherki terrible and reijnders invisible

Feel so bad for Trafford. He shouldn’t have passed it, but he’s also had no options all game.

 

[argyle]

Some moron booing around me

Tell your wife to stop.

 

[itsnevereasy]

It looks like we haven’t had a decent pre season… oh wait..

Stop stressing all will be ok in the end.

 

[eyalluvitt]

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

Spursitous?

 

[Jason]

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.

Please go and support someone else . Your an absolute prick , your not a blue your just an absolute **** ,do us a favour and fuck off!
