Spurs (A) | PL | Post Match Thread

We missed Dias for me he would have shouted at Donno to go down have a time out and if we have to kick kick it out for a throw in press quicker win that second ball! What’s the point in hoofing it to Haaland if he has no one near him to pass it or win the second ball!

Think Prp wants us just to be more composed on the ball keep it make space for the pass then that player knowing the next pass before it comes to then play through the press..
 
Are we playing to instructions in the second half’s because so many games recently have gone the same way….even ones we have won.

Is pep asking the team to conserve energy same as about three seasons ago when we just kept possession in the second half if we were in the lead.

It’s obviously not working if this is planned and obviously the team is inferior to three years ago.

Still think the main problem is the midfield and the lack of protection they give the back four.

They are too slow getting forward to support the attack and too slow in getting behind the ball.
 
2nd in Prem and in all cup comps and all season we’ve been a shadow of ourselves. Jesus, wait till we get back to normal:) Arsenal still can’t shake us off, Utd wanking over being 6pts behind us. Pissing myself. Pep will come at them like never before, you’ll see. Get your City shirts on and laugh at them rags across the road, who play once a week and mock the f**k out of them every time you see one. Enjoy Wednesday night and let’s bring the noise, we’re in a semi-final blues. CTID
 
Is Haaland saving himself for the world Cup? He has been a useless passenger lately, compounded by being imo totally disrespectful to City fans and his teammates by laughing with UDogie yesterday when we were, or at least the supporters were hoping the team would try to score a winner. I mean wtaf??.

We need some nasty feckless in the team willing to play for the shirt.

On a side note imo it was unfair to drop Mooshy from starting line up. He offers more than H currently.
 
I believe we are 2 aggressive and fast fullbacks and a ball carrying midfielder who had strength and speed, away from a great side. We need a Rogers, a Rice. Another KDB. Someone who drives us forward. We don't have one in the squad. Kovacic is probably the closest but we need an upgrade on him. Just my opinion, of course.

Nonsense. Second in the PL, Probably final of LC, 4th round FAC, Knockout of UCL

Nonsense and since when have you spoke on behalf of all Since you are all knowing would you like to suggest who this "top replacement" could be

If you listened to his last PC he was asked about the refs and he pointed out that he hasn't complained ever in 10 seasons. Everyone gets to the point where they have had enough like Rodri said they work hard all week and get do by these clowns, for whatever reason be it incompetence or agenda.

If you think Pep isn't focused on the "job in hand" then, you clearly haven a clue about how hard he works Listen to people who have worked with him in the past listen to Pep Lijnders on Friday The man is obsessed Read some of the books about him this would be a start https://amzn.eu/d/6QEFSlK

He's finished at City. He cant do it without top quality players like we've had. When it's back to basics it's like 2016 when he was building his own squad. You can see before your eyes thats so true. Im not blaming him for the injuries we've had but even with our strongest team we've hardly been looking like champions.

Absolutely. We've not paid to listen to his politics. He and all professionals should stick to what the club/we pay them for and are best at.

Summer of changes a must now.

Pep probably thought his time was done after the 4th title. Stayed on due to commitment to khaldoon and 115 coming out. It hasn’t come out and we look dead on our feet.

The whole club looks exhausted.

Tbf the amount of money Pep has had to spend we shouldn't now be thinking let's overhaul the team.

You don't have to listen to his politics.
We know what he does best because we've experienced it for a decade.
If it's time to part ways so be it, but have some fucking respect for the job he's done.

Disagree again..it needs airing..or fuck all will ever change
The more it's highlighted then they might think twice about dubious decisions against us.
If we lose games fairly then I always say that shit happens but when we are blatantly cheated then it's fair to speak out about it.

The thought had crossed my mind that he wants to keep himself 'fit and fresh' for the World Cup ...... a nice holiday in The US, Canada or Mexico, depending on where Norways game are, probably appeals greatly to his good lady too!

You're only as good as your last game and ours was utterly appalling.

He's 9nky as good as his last season and ours was utterly appalling given the time and money.

We definitely need some physicality in the side. Half this side are fannies rolling around and not getting stuck in.

So he risked going down to a defeat in the first half to see Pep's plan Lets face it if their first goal had been rightly disallowed then Frank's plan would have failed

Maybe. But the giant momentum shift was in place before that goal which as you say was dubious. They had more than enough about them to win the game tbh, blaming the ref is a cop out.

It was a clear foul. We got bad decisions yesterday.

However, it feels like the club has been infected with this victim mentality. Always complaining about referees and injuries and how unfair it is. Complaining about too many games, Pep complaining that players aren't back from injury yet, complaining that 30+ year old players that have been injury prone their entire careers are still injury prone.

In the past, Pep would have said "if you don't referee us fairly we'll win against 12".

We were fucking shit yesterday, if we had scraped together even a 5/10 performance, we'd have been 3/4-0 up by half time and there would have been nothing the referees could fucking do. If we'd reacted after the first goal and started actually playing football, we'd have won the game comfortably, there'd be nothing the referee could do.

All we hear out of the club is complaining now.

It doesn't matter that it's true we've had some shit decisions against us. Whining about it isn't going to change anything. If we played at our best and Spurs we equal to it and then we got fucked by the refereeing decisions, that's one thing, but lumping it all on referees when you don't turn up and do your own job isn't going to earn any sympathy.

The mentality that saw us win all those trophies has totally gone.

Post of the day that. We are turning into mentality minows.
