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

[heslops barnet]

Far too many people thought a summer window and a rest will bring us back to where we was. We are miles away

Wolves game was a false dawn…..

 

[Bluemoonie92]

Is this any better than last season? Absolutely dogshit

 

[IcriedwhenTueartleft]

Trafford is not ready for this gig

you could say the same for a few others

 

[Plays By Sense Of Smell]

Phil and Rodders showing the rest how to pass and move for each other…

 

[Don Karleone]

We'll come good this season, but this is piss poor.

 

[madloaf]

pep has a season with these players to set them up coach them into a winning side again! It’s going to be tough

Did last season not happen?

 

[TFC]

Yay, now we get to enjoy cockney twats singing their dirge. Fuck off

 

[King Jay]

No wingbacks no pace just „ I got a triple years ago „ vibes on the field

 

[Beanhead]

As bad as we’ve been. Spurs have been brilliant :(

 

[Alexia_Ko]

Khus and Stones at CB next game please, Pep.

Stop relying on Dias. He's not up to it and hasn't been for 18 months.

Stones is the reason we went down in the first place

I take it you didnt see Perry Suckling, Andy Dibble, Barry Siddall, Eric Nixon, Paul Cooper, Martyn Margetson, Eike Immel etc etc etc?

i think he’s talking about from supporting City for the last…couple of years maybe. Certainly not before it.

Technically yes, if it stays 0-2

 

[Ghostofmerlin]

I like Nico, think he is going to be a fine player for us, but there is a notable difference when Rodders steps onto the pitch.

Saw em all mate, difference is they were playing in poor sides, Trafford is not. He is awful.

 

[SCEtoAUX]

Well that's St Benathus day delayed by a week.

 

[Txiki Txiki Bang Bang]

The system, tactics is a busted flush.

Far too many issues each game.

The system is still perfect, the problem is the recruitment. This system requires players at the highest level, Let's be honest Marmoush, Doku, Sav, Jack etc these players were never at the level to play this system. It used to be a near perfect team with the odd 1 or 2 players slightly below that level (Delph, Zinchenko), now we have a team filled with players below that level and the odd 1 or 2 exceptional player.

 

[DavidWhitesUnderpants]

Poor recruitment and tactics.

Bit premature to slag off the recruitment don't you think ? Clearly Reijnders is 100% class, as is Cherki.

 

[Irishblue93]

Doku just a bit of a bit*h like savio

 

[baggy]

They're bored.

So am I...

When we do eventually get in the final 3rd we are far too s l o w
