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

Sure thing,obviously that half was above criticism

Do you need a wipe?

 

[Gumzy97]

It’s not just spurs it’s the traditional top 5 we’ve played them 20 times since the treble year and only won 6 games.

That’s an appalling record. I don’t know what happens to us during these games

 

[Silva Citizen]

Trafford off. sorry you have to take him off now.

That would kill his confidence. What we need to stop doing now is trying to pass short when defenders are covered. Don’t ever remember Joe Corrigan conceding like that after he had launched it upfield.

 

[DavidWhitesUnderpants]

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

We were 2-0 down at half time against Spurs last season when they beat us 4-0 and we won fuck all, all season. Omens and all that.

 

[phargrave]

Shades of last seasons game 0-4 incoming..

 

[axlgod]

Take all eleven players off and replace with Khusanov.
He will eat the Spuds alive.

 

[M Gaudino]

Please please stop the offside trap

especially with our slowest 4 defenders at the back. surely a mistake at home if we’re going to play this liverpool style high line

 

[Gaz76]

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

Mate you talk a lot of sense on here, but that is bollocks, even ederson would have struggled there and he is the only keeper in the world that MIGHT have gotten away with that

 

[Zenmanc]

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

How did Pep account for the Spurs goals? Didn't hear nest the usual criticism of Peps choice of lineup in the pre match so how's he suddenly incompetent?

 

[Lowtower]

Tell your wife to stop.

Yeah but she's booing me mate

Not the team

 

[Mr. Wednesday]

Cherki looks lost out there and Reijnders has been surprisingly poor.
Bad decision making for the goals. Still don't think a draw is out of the question but that's about as good as we can hope for today.

 

[Millennium]

Spurs did not do anything till they score that typecal goal. We have wasted clear chances.

Why Travord made that silly mistake? He did not have to pass that ball. Why take so much risk? He could have been sent out with red card

 

[Manc baggie]

Nico g and reijnders being overrun in midfield.

That’s what it looked like to me.

 

[citymad]

We are being bullied, that will happen a lot this season. Far too weak!

 

[Kompany Car]

The lack of any atmosphere from the fans is as concerning as the performance on the pitch. It’s the first home game ffs

Im in the east stand, lots of unfamiliar faces, i know a few who normally stand with us are away as its still the kids holidays, but you're right it is flat. 12:30 kick offs to be fair though normally are pretty shit for atmosphere.

 

[alexmcity]

Rico over Nunes is a mistake. Too early to start Cherki in those types of games. We are weak in midfield.

Stones being unaware he plays Richarlisson on.

Trafford, it happens, but he isn't ready either.

 

[VOOMER]

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

Trafford isn't good enough

 

[M Gaudino]

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

hes probably trying to drag the player out and create space for a different pass.

 

[itsnevereasy]

Fuck off trying to get brownie points and a brown tongue. Team been shit and we're entitled to call it.

We haven’t had a pre season, get a grip you fanny

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

2nd game in and this thread is back to normal,

2nd game in and the failings of last year are back to normal. Think we can still get a point tho
